"A lot of patience": Schäfer gives RB coach Rose a job guarantee

Simons investment thwarts transfer plans

RB have been winless in the Bundesliga for four games, with their harmless attack in particular causing headaches. "We have a duty to achieve better results and work on the way we play soccer," emphasized Schäfer. Leipzig are currently fourth and would have achieved the minimum target of qualifying for the Champions League.

However, they are only four points ahead of tenth place and the trend is currently pointing downwards. Leipzig signed two promising players on the last day of the recent transfer window. There was no money for a higher caliber, as Leipzig signed the previously loaned-out Xavi Simons permanently for €50 million at the end of last week.
