The match is tied 1- 1 at the end of the first half. I am annoyed after seeing Leverkusen's performance. They were not able to play well in the first half. The team was able to take the lead in just 6 minutes of the match. But even then we did not see a strong attack from them.
Don't be too upset because it's only the first week. Given the current situation, we could be even more upset with Leverkusen in the middle or even at the end of the season lol.
With the current situation, where changes are happening everywhere due to new coaches and players, adaptation is needed. However, considering that Leverkusen was one of the clubs that could truly compete for trophies in the previous two seasons, the failure in the first week's match is clearly disappointing.
Their ball possession was decent, but aside from that, there’s nothing to be proud of from Leverkusen in today’s match. Their attack buildup was poor, their passing accuracy wasn’t any better than Hoffenheim’s, and of course, their finishing was severely hindered when these issues weren’t addressed from the start.
They lost points in the first week against a team that, in terms of strength, is actually below them, which shows that there is still a lot Ten Hag needs to do. Honestly, I doubt he can fix this, given his previous coaching career.
