The home debut for Ole Werner offers the best opportunity to show an appropriate reaction to the 6-0 debacle in Munich. "That doesn't mean that everything has to go perfectly in every phase, but we have to present ourselves differently as a team. That wasn't our standard in Munich - and that's not good enough in the Bundesliga," said the 37-year-old RB Leipzig coach, emphasizing ahead of this Saturday's league match (3.30pm/Sky) against 1. FC Heidenheim: "The fire we had in training this week makes me feel positive. The team was very self-critical. It was a clear analysis."
Leipzig have never lost a home opener (7 wins, 2 draws) in the Bundesliga. That should remain the case in the tenth Bundesliga season. There has also been no defeat against Heidenheim in the four duels so far (3 wins/1 draw).
