Normally. Bayer Leverkusen is the team I thought would challenge Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga title next season, and since they sold their two key players and changed their manager, I have started doubting them again. I don’t really expect any good performance from Bayer Leverkusen again. Because things will change and will be new to this team, two key players have been changed and the manager. This means they are going to be introducing a new method of play to the squad, and this will take time before everything is as they want. Let's see how the season will go for them.

Leverkusen has got the capacity to to challenge Munich but now that they no longer have xabi as their coaching is going to be a difficult one for them because they will need time to adopt to their new coaches styl and that will take some time. I cannot have big expectations from Leverkusen this season because I will be seeing it that this season they are going to use it to rebuild and get the team back on track to beeing that formidable team that can challenge Munich as they once did few seasons ago.

Yes, that's true. It's best for all Leverkusen fans to not expect too much from Ten Hag, as that would be better for the team's future development. One of the reasons Ten Hag failed at Manchester United was also because the management and fans expected too much of him, which became a burden for Ten Hag.

If Leverkusen fans do the same thing they did when Ten Hag was at Manchester United, I don't think Ten Hag will develop. Therefore, Leverkusen fans should give Ten Hag time to build a strong team, and certainly shouldn't expect him to compete with Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga title in his first season at Leverkusen. A top-three finish for Leverkusen was a good achievement for Ten Hag in his first season. Fans can expect more from Ten Hag to win the Bundesliga trophy in his second season.
