1 draw and 1 loss → 5 wins and 1 draw! TA: The pharmaceutical company is on the right track after the coaching change. Players suspected Ten Hag in July

In the second round of the German Cup, Bayer Leverkusen eliminated Paderborn 4-2 in overtime. "The Athletic" wrote an article stating that after Ten Hag left, Leverkusen has gradually got on the right track.

It has been two months since Leverkusen fired Ten Hag. He was originally the company's replacement after Alonso's departure, but he was fired after only three official games after taking office. Danish coach Jurman took over his position. Since he was out of work after the 2024 European Cup, Leverkusen quickly completed the appointment and saved a liquidated damages.

The 53-year-old Jurman has many characteristics that Ten Hacher does not have. He is a gentler coach who does not emphasize ideological control like Ten Hacher, and his management style is not as strict. Sources in the locker room revealed that Leverkusen players did not agree with Ten Hag's coaching style and even doubted whether Ten Hag was the right person as early as mid-July during the pre-season tour to Brazil.

After the coaching change, Leverkusen achieved 5 wins and 1 draw in 6 Bundesliga games, and also successfully advanced to the German Cup. The only blemish was the 7-2 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. This game exposed Leverkusen's youth and inexperience, issues that are not always punished in the league, but will be punished against a strong team like Paris, who are very likely to be stronger, more experienced and more dominant.

The same is likely to be true for the weekend game against Bayern. Bayern has won all 14 games so far this season, scoring 51 to 10 goals. But Ullman's current performance in leading the team is still very satisfactory.
