In their last friendly game before the start of the season Leverkusen have lost to Chelsea 2-0. The game was a total dominance by Chelsea with ball possession of 70% and 24 shots on goal (9 on target) Vs. Leverkusen's only 4 shots (2 on target).
Judging by this game alone, things are not looking very bright for Ten Haag's team.
They further strengthened their squad in the recent days by completing acquisition of goalkeeper Janis Blaswich (Leipzig) and right winger Ernest Poku (AZ Alkmaar). We'll see if that will make any difference.
Tomorrow they are playing against SG Sonnenhof Großaspach (a Regional League club) in the first round of the DFB Pokal. Anything other than a convincing win by Bayer will be a red flag.

There are many criticisms about ETH, for me this is something of a warning, however things can change for the first games of the official season and if they see that they lose at least the first 5 games then it is time for him to be fired, more failures cannot be accepted in this team, Leverkusen is a team that is used to winning.

Now, with the debut and losing, it's something that doesn't help ETH much, In any case, we have to wait and see how everything develops For me, things are just starting the team is starting to consolidate, and so far, there aren't many expectations for ETH.
