I was wondering how long it would take for Erik ten Hag to become the center of attention in the press, because when he was at Manchester United he constantly made speeches, gave interviews about every problem and controversy and showed a lot of optimism even when the scenario was disastrous, now he's back:

Bayer Leverkusen coach Erik ten Hag: “The agent of Xhaka can say whatever he wants, but this club has already let three important players go, and we won't let any more go”.

“Granit is a leader, he still has three years left on his contract here”, told RP.

The season hasn't started yet and he may have started making statements to the press early. I hope it's not the same as when he was at Manchester United, where he started with losses in friendlies and then came his interviews in which he complained about players and the relationship with the players became terrible, then he made terrible signings.

Now at Leverkusen, he already had a defeat in which he conceded 5 goals in the friendly match. In 5 days, he will have another friendly match against Bochum, who were recently relegated from the Bundesliga. If he loses, it will be terrible for him.

Ahahahaha! In this words "this club has already let three important players go" I see preparation to have an excuse just in case Grin

Damn, he's a real strategist! The next stage will be in the form of him finding a player to blame for everything and having a conflict with him.
But it will still be interesting to see how Ten Hag will get out of the unsuccessful results, because no one expects Bayer to take the title from Bayern, the goal for the season is to be in the top three (bookmakers quote Bayer's chances exactly like this). If the result is worse, there will be reasonable questions about him.
