Ole Werner does not share national team coach Julian Nagelsmann's criticism of a trio from RB Leipzig. "I trust all the boys to play a good role in the German national team," said the RB Leipzig coach. He did not perceive Nagelsmann's comments in a Kicker interview as a particularly big issue for the players either. Nevertheless, Werner said that there are "certainly different views on how to go about it."
In concrete terms, Nagelsmann had called for Brajan Gruda to have more goal threat, Ridle Baku had not yet reached the performance level of the first half of the season and Benjamin Henrichs still needed rhythm after his serious injury, but was not playing much. "Of course, Brajan can be given more ouput," said Werner. "On the other hand, he hasn't played that many games for us yet." Gruda arrived from Brighton at the beginning of February and has recorded one goal and one assist in four Bundesliga appearances so far.
