Leipzig – After the disappointment in the Champions League, RB Leipzig is back in the Bundesliga. Will the Saxons be able to immediately flip the switch again in the top game against Borussia M'Gladbach?
RB Leipzig is in a mini-crisis
The situation is almost hopeless with four defeats in four Champions League games. And now, away from home with Inter Milan and at home against Aston Villa and Sporting Lisbon, all opponents come from the upper table region.
Head coach Rose didn't want to go into swashbuckling mode after Celtic's disgrace and looked for explanations for the sudden slump in his own lead. He also didn’t want to hide a “certain loss of substance”. “At the moment we just can’t manage to get to the level we need as a team, even in Dortmund,” said the 48-year-old.
After the defeats in the premier class, the Bundesliga games have recently been something of a lifeline for Leipzig. With a view to the top game this Saturday (6.30 p.m./Sky) against Rose's former club Borussia Mönchengladbach and the increasing concerns, caution is also advised.
Even Gulacsi made a mistake recently
Lutsharel Geertruida had to leave the field with a muscle injury. This means that after the left side, the right side is also missing in defense. “It’s the limit now,” said Rose. He misses “one or two players.” Castello Lukeba (muscle problems) is still questionable for Saturday. Lukas Klostermann sat on the bench in Glasgow with a bad knee.
In keeping with the situation, goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi, who had been outstanding of late, also made a mistake at Celtic Park when he allowed Alistair Johnston's cross to rebound. Reo Hatate scored to make it 3-1. In the Bundesliga, the Hungarian national goalkeeper was recently a bench player, defending 86.1 percent of the balls and keeping six clean sheets.
But even in Dortmund he couldn't prevent RB's first defeat after 19 unbeaten games with his brilliant saves. Now comes the other Borussia, who swept Werder Bremen 4-1. However, the Foals lost all of their last three games against Leipzig – without scoring their own goal. (dpa/kk)
