The 0: 6 clap against FC Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga start has left significant traces at RB Leipzig.
It was of course shocking for all of us that “we had such a despondent, disastrous appearance. And of course it is important to work up now,” said Red Bull Boss Oliver Mintzlaff on Monday in Hamburg on the sidelines of the “Sport Bild” Award: “That was the first match day and not the last match day. Nevertheless, there was certainly a lot of speech.”
Next Saturday (3:30 p.m./Sky) against 1. FC Heidenheim Mintzlaff from the team of the new coach Ole Werner is now expecting a different face.
“A worse face than what we presented in Munich – I certainly don’t expect that. But of course, we also need a reaction and not only on the second matchday, but also fundamentally,” said the manager: “We did a lot and that it was of course a hard damping, that is clear. But that also happens in sports, and now it also means drawing the right conclusions and then, of course, a different appearance.”

Does Xavi Simons change? “Must fit for all sides”
Meanwhile, Mintzlaff left it open whether offensive star Xavi Simons stays in Leipzig. The 22 -year -old Dutch is courted by Chelsea.
There are “certainly conversations and also interested parties,” said Mintzlaff: “But it has to fit for all sides. And if that happens, it could still be that there is a finish. And if it doesn’t happen, Xavi Simons is RB Leipzig this season.”
The transfer window in the Bundesliga closes next week.
