"It is a big challenge because in football you need processes to make that work. You don't push a button. You have to work every day and create. There is so much quality. We are looking to make that work and tick. Suddenly, it will hopefully explode. We don't know when. Until then we will have good minutes, bad minutes, and make it work."
"If you want to be a top team you have to be good at almost all facets of the game. I have the feeling I can be myself here. I don't have to explain how I want to play football, how to lead. There have been changes but also very, very good players are left. It is up to us to create a fantastic team on and off the pitch."
Kasper Hjulmand was appointed Bayer Leverkusen head coach on a two-year deal following Erik ten Hag's shock dismissal. Leverkusen have yet to record a league win after a 2-1 loss to Hoffenheim and a 3-3 draw with 10-man Werder Bremen. The squad underwent a major summer exodus, losing Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Jonathan Tah, Granit Xhaka, and Piero Hincapie, among others. Hjulmand emphasized the need to build processes, daily work, and cohesion to unlock the remaining quality. Eintracht Frankfurt visit on Friday in a difficult early test. Patrik Schick remains a key attacking threat.
