“It is a process. We need time and we need matches and they are coming...”

Bayer Leverkusen's coach, Kasper Hjulmand, believes his team is still in the process of building a competitive squad. Despite their record-breaking unbeaten run away in the Bundesliga, which stands at 35 consecutive matches, Leverkusen needs more time to gel as a team. Hjulmand stated, 

The team has undergone significant changes, including the departure of key players like Florian Wirtz, Jonathan Tah, Granit Xhaka, and Jeremie Frimpong, and the arrival of new players such as Lucas Vazquez, Malik Tillman, and Jarell Quansah.

Hjulmand's comments come after a challenging start to the season under his predecessor, Erik ten Hag, who was sacked after just two league games. The Danish coach was appointed on September 8, and since then, he has recorded a win and a draw in his two league games in charge. Leverkusen currently sits 11th in the league with five points, seven points behind leaders Bayern Munich. 

 “A lot of new players, new coaches, that's how it is. But in every game, we have to get results.”

Current Standings:

• Bundesliga Ranking: 11th
• Points: 5
• Games Played: 4
• Wins: 1
• Losses: 1
• Draws: 2

Hjulmand's task is to rebuild the team and make them competitive again, and he believes that Leverkusen has the quality to deliver top performances. He added, “We are very optimistic, and I think we have a great team. We can build an outstanding team, but we are still building it up.”

Bayer Leverkusen, currently 11th in the league with 5 points, trails behind league leaders Bayern Munich by 7 points after four games. They are also 2 points behind fifth-placed St Pauli. Following a coaching change, former Denmark coach Kasper Hjulmand took the helm on September 8, replacing Erik ten Hag who was sacked after just two Bundesliga matches.

Under Hjulmand's leadership, Leverkusen has secured a win and a draw in his first two league games. “It is a process. We need time and we need matches and they are coming,” Hjulmand said during a press conference on Friday, emphasizing the team's need for patience and more games to build momentum.

Hjulmand believes his team is still in the construction phase, integrating new players and coaches. “We are in a good process... Every single day we train, we play games... it gets better and better. A lot of new players, a lot of new positions for some players. They have to get to know each other,” he added. Leverkusen's record-breaking unbeaten run away in the Bundesliga stands at 35 consecutive matches, showcasing their potential despite current challenges.

“We are very optimistic and I think we have a great team. We can build an outstanding team but we are still building it up. A lot of new players, new coaches, that's how it is. But in every game we have to get results.”

Bayer Leverkusen continues to impress, extending their record-breaking unbeaten run in away Bundesliga matches to 35 consecutive games, spanning over two seasons. However, the team is still in the process of integrating several new players under their second coach of the season, Kasper Hjulmand. Hjulmand took over from Erik ten Hag, who was sacked after just two league games. Despite the coaching change and player overhaul, Leverkusen has shown resilience, with Hjulmand stating, “It is a process. We need time and we need matches and they are coming.” They'll face a tough test in the Champions League against PSV Eindhoven this Wednesday.

“We are in a good process,” Hjulmand said. “Every single day we train, we play games... it gets better and better. A lot of new players, a lot of new positions for some players. They have to get to know each other.”
