Konrad Laimer will face his former club RB Leipzig in a Bundesliga game for the first time since his summer transfer to FC Bayern. The midfielder leaves no doubt in advance about his ambitious ambitions with the Munich team.
Laimer himself played 130 Bundesliga games in the Leipzig jersey and won the German Cup twice with RB. His move to German champions FC Bayern has paid off so far, as he has appeared in all Bundesliga games this season.
The Austrian once again has big plans for the top game on Saturday evening, in which leaders Bayern face fourth-placed RB Leipzig: “We want to go there and win. We know what the opponent can do, but we also know what we can do.” , Laimer was confidently quoted on the FC Bayern club website.
Meanwhile, the 26-year-old left no doubts about the quality of the opponent, for whom he played between 2017 and 2023: “It will definitely be a top game. They are in a good mood, we are in a good mood. We are looking forward to Saturday. “
In fact, the Red Bulls have recently won a whopping seven competitive games in a row. The Bundesliga opener at Bayer Leverkusen was lost 2-3 in mid-August. Since then, head coach Marco Rose’s team has defeated every opponent that stood in their way.
