Alonso gave Leverkusen a chance to feel more confident then they have ever felt as a team, he also Instilled a strong winning mentality that reshaped their minds into not settling for a defeat even at times when it felt like they were already defeated, he will be missed by the team and even the players. Ten Hag has got a challenge with his relationship with players and that has affected how he relates with his players and to a great extent it may be the reason for the kind of results he gets, I am hoping he does better with Leverkusen as time goes on.
Alonso leaving Bayern Leverkusen will really really affect them at the same time I'm thinking it's because he left the club that's why some players too left the club to other clubs. Alonso really brought out the best out of this Leverkusen team. Ten Hang has a mountain to climb because the fans will be expecting a lot from him when the season starts.
What the fans are expecting from Ten Hag is very high already even before the start of the season, and he needs to make that possible. If the season gets started, Leverkusen key players will have left the club, and also their manager will have left, which I think is a wrong move for Bayer Leverkusen. I think even if they change their manager, they should let their two main key players go. It will definitely affect them. Maybe they feel like Ten Hag can make things possible for them.
Since Manchester United did not favour him, Bayer Leverkusen will favour him, so let’s not criticise yet because we did the same when Bayern Munich signed Vincent Kompany as their manager. None of us believe he will perform the way he did last season, so even for this one, we should wait and see.
