The Champions League season begins! RB Leipzig starts with the Young Boys ( in the BILD live ticker).
Before kick-off, Leipzig coach Marco Rose (47) will answer questions from DAZN. There are only problems with communication with moderator Ann-Sophie Kimmel (29) on one topic.

She asks: “Xavi Simons is an exceptional player, this is not breaking news. Everyone in the Bundesliga has now seen that. But we looked at some statistics. Namely the ‘Ball Carries’. Your team is generally quite good at this, and Xavi Simons now adds to the whole statistic. To what extent is this now a central training element or do you just let the players do it?”
But Rose doesn’t really know what the term “ball carries” means. So he answers, a little confused: “What are the statistics called?”
Kimmel explains: “Ball Carries. So to put it a little nerdier: the progressive runs. So practically targeted dribbling.”
Rose: “Okay. I.”

He then answers in more detail: “That’s part of our game idea and that’s why we brought in Xavi because he suits us. He’s giving us a lot at the moment, especially with Dani Olmo missing. Yes, he just fits us very, very well. He integrated really well. But the other guys contribute to it.”
About the game he said: “We go into the game confident. We take on new tasks. Difficult opponents, great stadium, first Champions League game. It’s about delivering here again.”
