Lots of praise from Leipzig for Berner: ‘YB was difficult to tame’

The top Bundesliga club defeated the Super League team at the start of the Champions League. Final result 3:1. It doesn’t always look like a victory in Leipzig against YB on Tuesday evening in Wankdorf.

In the 72nd minute, Joker Ganvoula even had a great opportunity to score the YB lead goal and make it 2-1 after Elia’s excellent dribbling. Shortly afterwards the setback came with the goal of RB midfielder Schlager and it was only in injury time that the bag was closed. After the match, the East Germans had a lot of respect for the Swiss double winner.

“We defended ourselves against them”

Coach Marco Rose does not have just one or two words for the Bernese team, but very positive sentences: “It’s a great little football stadium, great fans who support the team. And they play dynamic football, then things can go wrong here and then you you too will be eaten.”

Eaten, the current Bundesliga third place by the Super League representative? That’s exactly what Roos meant. The East German, who leads his hometown Leipzig in the Champions League from the sidelines, continues: “We prevented that, we fought back.” The respect for YB radiates from it.

The Wankdorf electrifies

Goal scorer Schlager, who made it 2-1 with a well-placed long shot (73′), also emphasizes the energy that YB can develop in Wankdorf: “We deserved to triumph in the end, but they have incredible energy on the field.” It was difficult to control them.”

The Austrian especially praises the first half of the Bernese team, in which they warmed up more and more after the cold start: “They were extremely aggressive and vicious, it was not easy.”

Leipzig has been in top form for months

As a reminder: the words come from the team that has been at the top of the Bundesliga for months. Leipzig are a force under coach Rose and would have won the Bundesliga last season if you just look at the 47-year-old’s 29 games since he took over a year ago.

At the start of the current season, Leipzig defeated Bayern 3-0 in the Supercup final. And RB won their last three Bundesliga games after the initial defeat to Leverkusen against Stuttgart, Union Berlin and Augsburg, with a goal difference of 11:1.

YB can clearly keep up with the Bundesliga teams on Tuesday evening – if not more than that – especially when it comes to the respect they get from the bulls.
