After their opening Champions League win, RB Leipzig coach Marco Rose has praised the maturity of his rejuvenated team. "I've liked the way we've handled opposition for a few weeks now," Rose said after the 3-1 win at Young Boys Bern. "You can get eaten up here, and we prevented that. We fought back. That has something of warrior mentality."
The success in Bern not only takes the pressure off the team with an eye on the next game against defending champions Manchester City. It was also the fourth win in a row and an important building block to continue the winning streak on Saturday at Borussia Mönchengladbach. "We defend the goal well, have quality going forward. The victory helps immensely until the guys we're missing right now come back," Rose said.
Captain Willi Orban will miss more than two months with a torn lateral ligament in his knee. The Spanish international Dani Olmo can not currently train with a bruise in the knee. It is unclear how long the offensive player, who is being courted by top clubs, will be out. In Mönchengladbach he will not be there.
