Erik ten Hag cautioned Bayer Leverkusen supporters to avoid expecting miracles in his first season, emphasizing the need for patience. After being appointed following Xabi Alonso's departure, Ten Hag highlighted significant player changes and warned that contending for major titles would take time. He stressed that success at the top level requires hard work and development, indicating the real pivotal time for the season will be around March or April. The team's debut in the DFB-Pokal against Sonnenhof Grossaspach is an early opportunity to see the new squad in action.
"I know how to manage processes, and you can't force the process. It's impossible. Nobody is Harry Potter."
"For me, the start of the season is the middle of March, April 1, then you have to be in a position where you can win something."
