Leipzig goes down badly in Frankfurt |
Tedesco wobbles, Götze conjures up
That’s supposed to be a contender for the championship?
Frankfurt wins 4-0 against Leipzig and pushes RB deeper and deeper into the crisis.
No game idea, a completely insecure defensive, without penetrating power in the storm – Leipzig goes under in Frankfurt. The highly praised attack around Werner and Nkunku didn’t manage a single shot on goal in the first half.
Now Domenico Tedesco’s (36) chair is shaking!
The trainer at “Sky”: “Today we completely missed the basics. We weren’t even on the pitch in the first half. Frankfurt did well. But we were lousy. A disaster.”
RB boss Oliver Mintzlaff (47) had already counted Tedesco publicly after the second day of the game, said after the 2-2 win against Cologne: “It’s a crappy start with two points from two games.” And the 2-0 win against Wolfsburg last matchday? As it turned out – just a flash in the pan!
And that despite the fact that the Saxons were able to get top-class players like Schlager, Raum and Werner in the summer and keep the top performers Laimer, Gvardiol and Nkunku. If RB doesn’t get any more points, it will be very tight for Tedesco. Because: Even if the Champions League qualification is officially the goal, RB maker Mintzlaff secretly dreams of more.
The Frankfurt team, on the other hand, ended their curse at home and won a game in their own four walls for the first time in 174 days. Most recently, the team of coach Oliver Glasner (48) celebrated a threesome with their own fans in the 2-1 win over Bochum last March.
Eintracht newcomer Mario Götze (30) shows his best game so far in the Frankfurt dress, constantly whirls through the Leipzig defense and is involved in two goals.
16. Minute: Götze crosses into the penalty area with a lot of feeling. There, Kolo Muani climbs up and puts himself over to Kamada. The Japanese nods into the empty goal. 1:0!
22. Minute: Rode plays a one-two with Kolo Muani on the penalty area, then has far too much space on the right corner of the penalty area and shoots – 2:0!
67. Minute: Götze just shoots at it from the back. Tuta makes the rebound clean.
Borre makes everything clear with a penalty (84th)!
Götze: “That was a very remarkable achievement from us.”
Keeper Kevin Trapp (32): “As a team, one of the best games we’ve ever shown.”
Bitter: Rode is substituted in the 32nd minute because of a muscle injury. Previously, Leipzig’s Olmo had to go down. The RB playmaker was unable to continue after an unfortunate tackle with Sow.
