German sports commentator Patrick Sherer provided detailed information about the activities of coach Erik ten Hag at the "Bayer" club. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The specialist was dismissed after two rounds following the start of the season. Ten Hag did not address his players before the match against "Hoffenheim" in the first round.
The players expected a motivational speech, the team needed to be inspired within 60 seconds, but there was no word. According to Sherer, Erik ten Hag was surprised by the silence in the dressing room and expected everything to happen on its own.
Discussing this situation, the coach noted that while working in Manchester, players sometimes gathered in a circle, with Fernandes or Maguire giving speeches, and the coach rarely spoke in such situations. This fact provides important information about the relationships within the team and the leadership style.
Ten Hag's approach and team management style did not prove effective during his tenure at "Bayer". As a result, the club's management decided to replace the coach.
This event may affect the team's future development. It once again confirmed the importance of communication between the coach and players in the sports world.
