Bundesliga club RB Leipzig will also be relying on the new team spirit that has developed since the opening defeat at Bayern Munich in Saturday's match at VfL Wolfsburg (3.30 pm/Sky). "What helps a team is clarity. Clarity for every player, where will they be in the season, how will they start the season? We didn't have that for long stretches of the preparation," said coach Ole Werner. RB Leipzig's current squad has only been in place since the transfer deadline.
It helps if everyone has clarity now, if there is a hierarchy. "You can only give responsibility to players when they know that they are there and what role they are supposed to play," emphasized the RB coach.
