Marco Rose looked very proud after Leipzig's cup win against Eintracht Frankfurt. "We have won. Some people no longer thought we could do it," said the RB coach after the 3-0 win in the round of 16 against the in-form league rivals. And his relief at the victory was just as noticeable. After all, his job is now more secure again after his team's strong performance.
It was surprising how quickly RB flipped the switch from wanting to being able to do it after six games without a win. Rose commented on this with a quote from his video analyst, who had said before the game: "When your back's against the wall, there's only one way to go."
The fact that Benjamin Sesko and Loïs Openda scored two dream goals made the evening perfect for Leipzig. The coach was celebrated by the fans with chants for several minutes after the game.
"I'd be lying if I said that didn't do me any good," said the 48-year-old. He also spoke of having received a lot of encouragement from outside in the past few days. "That's when you first realize that there's a lot going on outside," said the RB coach.
