They played exceptionally well against West Ham. They beat them with a terrific tempo. If they continue at this pace for the Premier League, they'll be in the title race. I expect a good year for Chelsea.

A special and impeccable performance by Chelsea, there is something that they gave to Chelsea and it is something that is difficult to achieve in a team when you have them and it is security and confidence, Chelsea already won this by far and it is very difficult for it to be taken away from them, now things are good, the PL will be much more fought for as it has always been, I see good teams that sometimes lose, but Chelsea is like that phoenix, I remember a few seasons ago where the entire team changed, coaches, everything, but it was a good path.

If Leverkusen sacked Ten Hag because of the results of the first two games, that would also be unprofessional, but apparently, the main reason was his failure to get along with the players, who didn't trust him and the changes he was making. If a manager gets conflicted with the squad at the very beginning of the season, it's clear that nothing good will come out of it, so letting him go was justified for that reason.

It doesn't look unprofessional when they look at your record as a coach, obviously if you've done a bad job in your previous job it shows, at one time I gave Ten Hag the green light, but if he had continued any team would have beaten him anyway, only in the pre-season did we see what was coming, the Germans are not like the English who let it go by and by and failure after failure, Leverkusen is a team that is used to winning.
