Xavi Simons has also moved from Paris Saint-Germain to DFB Cup winners RB Leipzig on loan in the summer because of coach Marco Rose. Before the top game of the soccer Bundesliga on Saturday (18.30 clock/Sky) against FC Bayern Munich, the Dutchman told TV channel Sky, Rose explained to him the project, what he plans to do with the team, how he sees him on the pitch. "That gave me goose bumps. I was excited, wanted to come here and play under him. How he wants to play soccer is really good for me and my development," Simons said.
Against Bayern, the 20-year-old expects an intense game. Although RB won in the Supercup in August in Munich, he said. "But I'm sure they will come here and show us that they want to win. But I see the chance at 50-50. We play at home and have the support of the fans," Simons said.
