RB Leipzig CEO Oliver Mintzlaff wants to prevent a major upheaval and further refine the squad. “We want to take the next step, whatever the next step means. We played the best season in the club’s history, but we still aim to improve every year. We need a squad that is coherent as a whole,” said the 46-year-old on Sunday at the team’s reception in Leipzig.

He also felt the criticism of the club structures before the cup final against Freiburg. “You could see that the scarf issue gained momentum that Freiburg didn’t want either.

There are so many laughing, happy and friendly people here who just love and live RB Leipzig just like FC fans, Dortmund or Schalke fans do.”
