It is not possible for Leverkusen to perform as well as they did in the last two seasons. First, Leverkusen lost their boss Xabi Alonso. In the last two seasons, Xabi 's extraordinary strategy has kept Leverkusen stable and played well. In the 2023-24 season, Leverkusen won the title without losing the entire season. Before that, Munich dominated the Bundesliga for a long time. However, they could not win the title without losing the entire season.

Secondly , does Leverkusen really want to compete for the title next season ? If they had the desire, Leverkusen would not have decided to sell Wirtz and Frimpong . Although leverkusen got a large amount of money by selling these two players. Leverkusen needed this money to manage the club well.

If Ten Hag can keep leverkusen's performance stable and Leverkusen is in second or third place in the table , the management will be happy. It will be difficult for Leverkusen to compete with Munich for the title with this squad.

That's right, the departure of Xabi Alonso followed by Florian Wirtz and Frimpong has the potential to harm Leverkusen in the competition for trophies next season. They are key figures who led Leverkusen to win trophies, their departure is a sign of decline. It is unfair to judge Ten Hag too early because the Bundesliga has not started yet, but I would not expect much from Ten Hag. It is not easy to break Bayern Munich's dominance, they have a pretty good and luxurious squad.

Ten Hag has not been able to do anything in the past that we can rely on. Ajax's performance was good with ten hag. This cannot be denied. However despite getting enough opportunities with Manchester United, Ten Hag completely failed. So , we should not have too much expectation on Ten Hag.

However , if Leverkusen wants to build a stable, or find young talent, then they will get enough support from ten hag. Ten Hag has previous experience of this. But if Leverkusen wants to dominate the Bundesliga and win the title, it will probably not be possible for this Leverkusen squad. Leverkusen's squad is relatively weak now. Leverkusen also does not have the ability to buy players by spending a lot of money.
