Indeed Leverkusen lost good talents this summer, they lost Frimpong, Tah, Wirtz which will have impact on the team’s performance, their performance might actually drop next season putting the new manager Erik Ten Hag under much pressure to stop this from happening. I think the big question now is will the infamous Erik Ten Hag be able to prevent this from happening?
Not only these players but they lost a good coach who got them setting a different precedence from that which they have been known for in the longest time. And I want to believe Leverkusen is aware of the talents they have lost and the need for crucial replacement and not just any if they must continue to maintain their form for which they have been known for currently. Erik Ten Hag is a good coach and I don't expect to see anything less from him as I trust his judgement and strategy, only that it did not work well at Manchester United but it may turn out differently at Leverkusen since they are both different team and from different leagues. There maybe little pressure on ten Hag to deliver but I doubt if the expectations of him will be as high knowing its a new season and it is is first time.e which he needs to get to know his team members.
Leverkusen would not have regretted losing any other player as much as they regretted losing their manager. They will not get such a manager for money. The current manager has a poor background, so even after giving him the job, the management may be skeptical about how the team will actually perform under this manager. Leverkusen performed well in the previous season and they did something like defeating Bayern Munich. Now if this manager cannot maintain the same level of performance of the team, then it will definitely not be accepted well by the management. Let's see if this failed manager can do anything good for the new team.
