Hupu, September 14th, in an interview with German media "Sports Pictures", Leverkusen CEO Carlo talked about multiple topics and situations of the club, and he also talked about the previous decision to fire coach Ten Hager.

When asked about the topic of Tenhager, Carlo said: "In football, you can never say that. There are too many articles about this. I personally get along well with Tenhager. A lot of reports I read are not true. But in football, you never know if you can score 9 points in the first three rounds of the Bundesliga under the leadership of other coaches. It doesn't make sense to look back at the past now. We look at the future, and of course, from now on, we will try to win every game we can win."

"This can be said to be a misunderstanding. I want to say that (appointing him) is obviously a mistake we made. But it's not a bad thing. If you have to make a decision, we all like to make a decision. We made this decision with Rollfies and we have the support of the shareholders' committee."

"If you make a mistake, you have to respond in time. It's not right. Maybe the timing is wrong. Eric certainly has his advantage. But it's definitely a clear decision for us. Ultimately, you have to admit that we corrected a mistake made in the [initial] appointment."

"But you can assume that when we choose a coach, we will have a very good understanding of the situation and have communicated a lot. However, such things still happen. All the people in charge of personnel decision-making know this. That's why this is annoying, because you've lost five points and you may not have been preparing for two months with the current coach. But to me, it's normal, and this is what our professional team is.

"It doesn't really matter whether it's expensive or not. The important thing is that we must look to the future and strive for points. And in every event, fight for the championship until the last moment. That's what we want. ”
