It seems the doubts surrounding Ten Hag are starting to be confirmed, as he hasn't been able to lead Leverkusen to victory. The pressure will only increase as time goes on, the only way to retain his managerial position for a longer period is to quickly win the next match. Otherwise, anything Ten Hag says will seem like an excuse, and Leverkusen fans won't accept it.
Leverkusen had been leading 3-1 against Bremen who played with 10 men since the 63rd minute. However, in the remaining match, many unexpected surprises occurred, so Leverkusen had to be satisfied with the final result of 3-3. Previously, when Xabi Alonso was still in charge, incidents like this were very rare. Leverkusen who specialized in winning in extra time, has now turned into a team that lacks the spirit to defend its victory.
This failure was due to Ten Hag's inability to read the situation on the field. Those who had the advantage in goals and numbers should have been able to control the game well, but the opposite happened. Whatever excuse Ten Hag gives, he now needs to prove himself. He must be able to return Leverkusen to its best form if he doesn't want to lose his job sooner than expected.
