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.
