After the liberating blow against Dortmund, the Leipzig coach spoke openly about his situation in Leipzig and coaches in general.

The Leipzig coach Marco Rose, who has recently come under heavy criticism, has spoken openly about the hardships of the coaching business after the end of the negative series. "One shot under the bar, one in. We know everything that we then discuss, which is then opened up. (...) It's surreal at times, what you experience as a person," Rose said on Sky TV after the 2-0 win against Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga.

It's all so close together. "It's actually madness. I have to explain myself all the time, I like doing that too. It's hard to grasp sometimes," said Rose. The fundamental performance is assessed relatively quickly "via the result and the work of the coach too, of course", added Rose.

Exchange with Klopp helps

For Rose, however, this is not just a soccer issue, but one for society as a whole. "How do we treat each other? How much respect do we have for each other?" said Rose, who also appreciates the collaboration with Jürgen Klopp, Head of Soccer Development at RB: "It helps me to have an exchange with him because he has an incredible wealth of experience and we coaches are also a bit alone here and there. And then it helps when someone looks at it from the outside, isn't in this bubble at all, doesn't have this pressure."

After the botched Champions League season and four league games without a win recently, Rose had come under criticism, but the 2-0 win against Dortmund gave the Saxons a shot in the arm.
