The Bundesliga debut encountered a tough battle! Claudio Echeveri made his best appearance and adapted to the problems.

Just a few days after officially joining Leverkusen, Claudio Echeveri stepped onto the field. In the first round of the Bundesliga, Eric Tenhach sent him on the court in the 84th minute of the second half of the game, when the home team Leverkusen was already behind. Although the former River Plate player showed his enthusiasm for running and willingness to play, he failed to create a miracle - Leverkusen eventually lost to Hoffenheim 1-2 in the first round of the Bundesliga.

This loss left Leverkusen fans mixed in. They were looking forward to the team having a more ideal start to the season; perhaps, fans also hope to see Claudio Echeveri make a debut in a more favorable situation. At that time, Claudio Echeveri appeared in replacement of Ibrahim Maza, trying to reverse the decline for the team - Leverkusen started with the lead, but was eventually reversed by his opponent.

In the 12 minutes of his debut (including stoppage time), Claudio Echeveri worked hard to contribute his strength: he kept running and actively asked for the ball, completed five passes and all succeeded, and tried 3 dribblings. Obviously, the young Argentine player needs more game time to adapt to the Bundesliga rhythm to fully display his potential in Leverkusen.

Claudio Echeveri's exclusive jersey number

When playing in the riverbed, Claudio Echeveri was wearing a No. 19 jersey; he used No. 30 during his time at Manchester City; and at Leverkusen, he wore a number that was very special and unrelated to his position (midfield) - No. 9, which is usually the exclusive number for the center. As for the No. 10 jersey that fans are concerned about: Last season, the number belonged to German star Florian Werz (now at Liverpool), and is now taken over by American player Malik Tillman. Tillman joined Leverkusen from Eindhoven in this transfer window, with a transfer fee of up to 35 million euros, setting a Leverkusen transfer record in the history of Leverkusen.
