It was a spectacle for neutral spectators, but a bitter afternoon for RB Leipzig. After the 3:3 draw in Bochum, the mood at the Saxons is at rock bottom.

Marco Rose had clear words. "We are naive in phases, we act naively," said the RB Leipzig coach after his team let a three-goal lead slip away in a 3-3 draw at Bundesliga bottom side Bochum. The 48-year-old spoke of carelessness in "the way we deal with our goals". Just talking doesn't help: "We have to look ourselves in the eye and act."

Kevin Kampl was also clear. "This should never happen to a team like us," said the midfielder, who said he was "stunned". "We are all angry." Three days after the 2-1 defeat at VfB Stuttgart, when RB had also led, even a seemingly safe lead was not enough this time. The Saxons slipped out of the Champions League places for the first time.

Rose: As coach, sometimes "only in the passenger seat"

Bochum's Myron Boadu took the win away from Leipzig virtually single-handedly with three goals in the second half. "That was a bit of kindergarten on our part," said Kampl, defending the coaching team. "It's not the coaches' fault. They give us everything."

Rose himself did not want to absolve himself of responsibility. "The coaching team is also part of the team. I see us as a community," he said. However, he was no longer able to intervene in the dynamics of the second half. "As a coach, you're sometimes only in the passenger seat. But I'm in the same car as the boys. That's important."
