On Friday, an unusual friendly match took place. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The young players of the "Flamengo" team faced Germany's "Bayer Leverkusen" club. The "Bayer" team is led by Dutch coach Erik ten Hag.
He came to the club management during the pre-season break. Interestingly, at the end of the first half, the team that finished second in the German championship lost to the young Brazilians 0:4.
This was the first friendly match for the "Bayer" team in the last two months. Previously, they had not played friendly matches against other clubs after the summer break.
Additionally, last season Erik ten Hag left "Manchester United." He had worked at this club for many years.
The "Bayer" team was also left by Spanish coach Xabi Alonso. He is now active at the "Real" club.
