After the next disappointment, Marco Rose noted a fact that is not entirely unimportant for his future. "We have 21 points and are in second place. You can't complain about that for now," said the RB Leipzig coach after the 0-0 draw against Borussia Mönchengladbach. Thanks to their position in the Bundesliga, Rose's job is not up for debate for the time being, even after their third winless game and a performance that was only good enough in the second half.
"We are confident in our squad and our coaching team, but of course we also have to deliver," said sporting director Marcel Schäfer on the Sport1 program "Doppelpass". "We haven't had a good week, we have high ambitions. We will address things." The manner in which they played was not what they wanted to bring to the pitch.
But there was plenty to complain about from the point of view of Oliver Mintzlaff and his management team. Four defeats from four games in the Champions League, a poor attacking display with three clean sheets in the Bundesliga and currently acute problems with creating chances. Against Gladbach, they had one and a half opportunities with good intentions, but Christoph Baumgartner failed to take advantage of each of them.
