There were lots of changes at Leverkusen over the summer, and only four players who started the final match of last season began against Gladbach last weekend. That can't be easy?
Alejandro Grimaldo: "Yes, we’ve got lots of new players – young players with lots of talent, but they are still young. You can see that. We need time, we need to get used to the new coach, who’s only just arrived as well. While we need that time, football doesn’t wait for you.”
Were you expecting the kind of mixed results you have had so far this season?
Grimaldo: "We knew things wouldn’t be as easy or as fluid as in the previous two years, but we’re working to regain that confidence and fluidity.”
