Pressure increases in Leipzig: "Subordinate everything to success"

Coach Marco Rose is under close scrutiny from RB Leipzig's management following the recent negative run in the Bundesliga and Champions League. "Of course, we also know that we urgently need a sense of achievement and need to turn things around. At RB, we subordinate everything to success," said managing director Marcel Schäfer in an interview with "Kicker". However, he is also "convinced of the coaching team around Marco, convinced of the squad".

After a promising start to the season, the Saxons have recently picked up just one point from five competitive matches. That was "simply far from our expectations, we don't need to beat around the bush", said Schäfer.

Staying focused is the motto

In the league, third-placed RB face VfL Wolfsburg at home on Saturday (3.30 pm/Sky), who are strong away from home. "First and foremost, I expect everyone in the stadium to feel from the very first minute that we will give everything to win this game. The fans have supported us really well recently and we should give them something in return," said Schäfer. "Above all, we should get three points again to stay at the top of the Bundesliga." The gap to leaders Bayern Munich is currently eight points.
