For Erik ten Hag and his coaches the time in the Brazilian metropolis presents the opportunity to get to know the team and lay the foundations for a successful 2025/26 campaign. Ten Hag: "It's fantastic. We’re going to Brazil. The country that shaped football and where lots of good players come from. Bayer has a special connection to Brazil – the club as well as the company. We want to take the first steps in team building there and really gel. It will be a great tour and we are really looking forward to it."
