""It is a process. We need time, and we need matches, and they are coming," Hjulmand told a press conference on Friday. "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.""
"Leverkusen have seen a summer of changes at the club, with many of their domestic double-winning squad departing for pastures new. The likes of Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Jonathan Tah and Granit Xhaka have all left the club, while Xabi Alonso replaced Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid. Leverkusen welcomed 17 new faces through the door, while also breaking their club-record transfer fee twice with the signings of Malik Tillman and Jarell Quansah."
Bayer Leverkusen are undergoing a major rebuild after a summer of departures and arrivals. Several members of the domestic double-winning squad left, including Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Jonathan Tah and Granit Xhaka, while 17 new players arrived and the club twice broke its transfer record for Malik Tillman and Jarell Quansah. Managerial changes continued as Xabi Alonso departed for Real Madrid and Erik ten Hag briefly replaced him. Head coach Kasper Hjulmand describes the project as a process that needs time and matches for cohesion. Early Bundesliga results are mixed but underlying metrics, including an xGA of 4.5, look promising.
