The Leipzig Bulls trotted off the field angrily during halftime in Wankdorf on Tuesday evening. YB had harassed, irritated and incited the top Bundesliga team after falling behind early (3rd minute) – the Bernese team then hit back with Elia’s equalizer (33rd minute). There was a lot of talking to do in the Leipzig dressing room. “Everyone gave their opinion, it was stable, I like that,” says Swede Emil Forsberg (31).
The heated Bulls had to let off some steam at halftime. “We were dissatisfied, angry and knew that this was not our game,” says Xaver Schlager (25). The scorer for Leipzig’s renewed lead (2-1 in the 73rd minute) gives an insight into the dressing room: “It got loud. Everyone was talking about what was wrong.”
A response was needed
After the discussion, RB took control of the match again and won 3-1. “I am happy and proud of the reaction during half time,” said a relieved Forsberg after Leipzig’s opening victory. The man who eliminated Switzerland five years ago with his winning goal for Sweden in the European Championship round of 16 – just like his teammates and his coach – has a lot of praise for YB: “They are really good and many will still have problems here. ”
RB coach Marco Rose (47) confirms his players’ dissatisfaction after YB caused them big problems in the first half: “It’s good that the boys were angry with themselves – and I was a bit angry too.” Rose would have won the Bundesliga with Leipzig last season if only the 29 rounds since he took office a year ago had been counted. In Wankdorf he and his team had to go through the books.
“The long balls came back immediately.”
The problems were discussed objectively, Rose emphasizes. And Forsberg and Schlager also say that the behavior of the invited officers in the locker room was civilized. But the Leipzig stars were angry.
What did YB do so well to irritate Leipzig? “They are very good at counter-pressure. We played a lot of long balls and they all came right back,” said coach Rose. “It’s about being active and doing the last few meters. We did that much better in the second half.” Thank you for the clear language during the half-time debate.
