Strategic Focus: Acknowledging the team’s disappointing performances, ten Hag remains optimistic about reversing their fortunes. He detailed ongoing strategic discussions aimed at improving tactics and boosting player morale. With a focus on the upcoming games, particularly against Brentford, he is confident of turning the tide: “We stick to the plan and are convinced it will be a success.”
