Unfortunately, in this opening match, Ten Hag was actually embarrassed by being defeated by Flamengo U20, even though it was a friendly match.
Wait, so this is true! I was scrolling down on Facebook and saw a post by Fabrizio on his page were he posted, Flamingo U20 4 Vs Bayern Leverkusen 0 HT, like four goals to nothing against Leverkusen and it's not even their main but by the U20. I went online to check to confirm if it wasn't a prank by Fabrizio. How really did this Leverkusen side turn out like this under Ten Hang, it might be just a friendly match but common, against U20's?
Yes, at first I also saw it in some memes and thought it was just a mockery of Ten Hag, but when I found it on Leverkusen's Twitter, ah, this is true. And even more so on Google. Even though this is just a friendly match, is it possible that Ten Hag is that relaxed and not that serious about preparing his squad? After all, it's the first match; he should understand the club's expectations under his coaching.
It's not easy, but even if they lose a friendly match, it shouldn't mean they have to be slaughtered, especially by a U20 club.
here is what reaction from Ten hag after this bad defeat
Source: reaction from Ten hag after this bad defeatI just don't understand this man, what's he talking about losing players. Was he expecting someone to die or get injured in the game. A team managed by him lost 5 - 0 to an under 20 team and his here saying a totally different thing. A friendly game yes, but losing to such a team is uncalled for, not even their senior team but brunch of players that some are still probably teens. Let's see the kind of excuses he will bring up when maybe a division thrash him again.
