2:40am, 20 July 2025Football

In the early morning of July 19, Tenghach made his debut after taking over as coach of Leverkusen. However, in this warm-up match against Flamengo U20, Leverkusen lost 1-5. I really didn't expect such a start. But Tenhah was quite calm about the result and said he didn't care about the preseason score. This game is worth paying attention to both for him and the team.

Tenhach took a break after leaving Manchester United, then accepted the invitation of Leverkusen and became the new head coach, replacing Alonso who went to Real Madrid. Over the past few weeks, he has worked hard to integrate into the team, through training and communication, and wants to build a tacit understanding with the players. But in this debut, Leverkusen did not perform well and his defense in the first half was a pity. In the first half, Leverkusen was mostly young players. As a result, the team was completely suppressed by the opponent and scored 4 goals in 45 minutes, and the game was one-sided. The second half was replaced, and the situation was better, but in the end he lost 1-5. This is too frustrating for a team that wants to compete for the Bundesliga title. However, Tenghach didn't care much about the score after the game, and also recognized some highlights in the game.

Tenhach said in an interview after the game that the key to this game is not winning or losing, but depends on the performance and physical condition of the players. He emphasized that the team is still adjusting, and the rotation of young players in the first half is more like training and cannot reflect real strength. The main players played in the second half and their performance improved. He felt that the team had begun to adapt to his coaching philosophy.

For Leverkusen fans, this result is definitely not satisfactory. But the preseason is to prepare for the new season. Whether this loss will be a turning point in Tenhah's coaching process depends on the future. Everyone is very concerned about how this strong Bundesliga team starts again under the leadership of the new coach.
