The situation of RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga is becoming increasingly critical. The defeat against Mainz on Saturday was a new setback. Expert Lothar Matthäus becomes critical.
RB Leipzig is in the crisis. After the 1-2 defeat against Mainz 05, the club is under pressure, but coach Marco Rose remains in office-still. The sporting development in recent weeks has been critical of record national player Lothar Matthäus. At “Sky90” he said: “Football at RB (…) is currently a pile of rubble.”
The TV expert sees a clear discrepancy between the former RB football and the current situation. “With what was there and with what is still there, Red Bull football is currently where those responsible never wanted to see him,” he said.
Leipzig is currently only sixth in the Bundesliga, and the gap to a Champions League-Platz is now three points. The team of coach Marco Rose was only able to win one of the past eight Bundesliga games.
There is currently nothing left of the euphoria from January, who was felt in the RB cosmos after Jürgen Klopp’s “Head of Global Soccer”. “Jürgen Klopp does not come up now, puts on his hand and everything works again. This is also a long process for it to work again,” Matthew is sure.
Despite the current misery and the embarrassment, coach Marco Rose may remain in the Champions League, it is said. But it is also clear: the Leipzig coach will have to win in Freiburg next Saturday evening, otherwise his term of office could be over after two and a half years.
