Change!
Although the league season had only just begun, everyone believed this would be the main theme of the Bundesliga this year.
After eight rounds of matches, two newly promoted teams were ranked first and third.
And if that wasn't absurd enough.
On the top scorers' chart, three strikers transferred from the 2nd Bundesliga occupied the top three spots.
How were Bundesliga stars like Luca Tony, Klose, and Kiesling supposed to feel about that?
The winds of change had begun to blow in the Bundesliga ever since Bayern hired Klinsmann as their coach.
Every team was actively seeking to make changes.
It was under these circumstances that Bruno Labbadia took the helm at Bayer Leverkusen.
Interestingly, he also came from the 2nd Bundesliga.
He was the head coach of Fiat last season.
Although he had failed to secure promotion to the top flight, he still caught the eye of Bayer Leverkusen.
