Better than Bayern: The Bulls have become powerful under Rose

class=”sc-29f61514-0 icZBHN”>

Trainer Marco Rose (47) has been with the Leipzig Bulls for almost exactly a year. And this with flying colors. Rose has turned the club, with drinks giant Red Bull in the background, into the team with the best points average in the Bundesliga since taking over on September 8, 2022. With Leipzig, YB has a huge obstacle in their way at the start of the Champions League in Wankdorf.

There is a ‘Marco Rose table’ that shows the match days of the past Bundesliga season. If only the 29 rounds had been played under Rose, Leipzig would have won the Bundesliga. Even in the current season, RB is running smoothly under Rose. The Can club clearly won the last three league matches against Stuttgart, Union Berlin and Augsburg with a goal difference of 11:1. At the start of the season they won 3-0 in the Supercup final against Bayern. The 2-3 defeat against Leverkusen with Granit Xhaka is the only setback in recent months.

Rose praises YB: “A lot of strength”

Rose’s hometown record: 46 competitive games, 2.20 points per game. As a reward, his contract was extended at the beginning of this summer until 2025. Leipzig’s ambitions are crystal clear: “We want to spend the winter in the Champions League,” says Kevin Kampl (32), who leads the team onto the field as substitute captain because defender Willi Orban (30) is missing due to injury.

Against group opponent Manchester City, Leipzig flew out of the premier league in the eighth finals last spring with a 7-0 defeat in the second leg. If the English are again too strong for the competition, Leipzig must fulfill its obligation to YB. But coach Rose knows that the Berners are not easy to beat: “YB plays in a decent competition, you cannot downplay that. The team is very strong at home, develops a lot of strength and plays simple football.”
