Leverkusen shines with a passing record under coach Hjulmand!
There are exciting news from Leverkusen in the Cologne football scene! Bayer 04 Leverkusen has experienced a huge change in the past few weeks, which is characterized by a change of coach and a remarkable transfer policy. After the departure of Xabi Alonso, the Dane Kasper Hjulmand took over the scepter and has already achieved initial success.
Yesterday the team was able to win a deserved 2-0 win in the home game against Union Berlin. After the game, Hjulmand emphasized: "We took a step again". This victory was the third in Hjulmand's sixth competitive game, the team was greatly improved, with three draws in the previous games as the basis for the latest success. Particularly noteworthy: Bayer Leverkusen set up a season record in the Bundesliga with 820 passes in 90 minutes. This is an impressive value that even the leaders Bayern Munich could not achieve in his clear victories.
Creative game and high accuracy
The possession of 69 percent and a suitable accuracy of impressive 92 percent illustrate the playful dominance of the Leverkusen. Hjulmand follows a game philosophy that has parallels to his predecessor Alonso - the team led the team to the championship and the cup victory in 2024. With this new approach, midfielder Aleix Garcia (28) in particular showed its quality by contributing 157 ball campaigns and 149 passes, the two Bundesliga maximum values this season. Hjulmand has proven that creativity and passing game in the center are crucial for success.
As far as squad planning is concerned, Bayer 04 Leverkusen sold after a large -scale transfer business: Around 300 million euros flowed into the coffers, while around 200 million euros were deployed for new obligations. Eight of the new entrances were in the starting eleven against Union Berlin, which makes the change of course clear.
A look into the future
With Granit Xhaka and Florian Wirtz, who said goodbye to England, Hjulmand had to part with two top performers. Nevertheless, the team found itself quickly and shows fresh vigor. The trainer has already indicated that there is still room for further improvements and that the players still have to work on their creativity.
Overall, it can be said: Bayer Leverkusen has taken the right way and under the direction of Kasper Hjulmand the team could have an exciting season in front of them. The fans can be excited to see how the team will develop during the season. Further information can be found on kicker.de.
