After the attack: mourning flor and minute's silence

The rampage through the pedestrian zone with two dead and over 20 injured is the talk of the town. The fans have canceled a planned march to the game, but support will still be provided. There will be a minute's silence before kick-off and the players will wear mourning flags. "It's an issue that depresses us, that makes us angry," said Werner. "You look for explanations and find none. It's upsetting."

Klopp, Rangnick and co.: celebrity visit

The soccer celebrities of the RB cosmos will take their seats in the stands. Global soccer boss Jürgen Klopp is reportedly coming to Leipzig, as is his predecessor and RB architect Ralf Rangnick. The latter as part of the promotion heroes of 2016. Leipzig were promoted to the Bundesliga ten years ago and have only missed out on the European Cup once since then. Marcel Halstenberg and Stefan Ilsanker from the promotion team have announced their participation, while Willi Orban, Lukas Klostermann and Peter Gulacsi are currently still in the squad. They will meet on Friday evening, and a tour of the new office is planned before the game on Saturday.

Patience game: what to expect from the opponents

FC St. Pauli, who are under serious threat of relegation, want to go as long as possible without conceding a goal and then hope for luck and efficiency up front. "St. Pauli defend well from a deep block and have good transitional moments," analyzed Werner. The coach, who turned 38 on Monday, believes that his team has made progress this season in playing against deep-lying opponents. "We're looking at how we can still find gaps and cause problems for opponents through good positioning and movement," said Werner.

More conviction: That's what the error analysis after Leverkusen revealed

Little went right in the deserved 4-1 defeat in Leverkusen. They could have already secured the top flight with a win there. The game was therefore critically reviewed. "We never really got into the game with or without the ball," said Werner. "We didn't manage to get any conviction into our processes, we never really had access."
