Successful Cup Start
RB Leipzig won 6:0 against Eintracht Trier in the cup, without any new starters in the lineup. The victory came in the first phase of the season and showed that the team, despite transfer‑market issues, started the decisive matches confidently.
Demichelis’ Game Plan
With over 70 percent ball possession, the new RB coach Martin Demichelis finally showed what he wants to play offensively: a lot of build‑up through the middle, through‑balls to the wings or into the half‑space. “We played a good game, we left home satisfied,” says the Argentine. Manager Marcel Schäfer adds: “We hit the gas from the first second and were highly focused. That pleased me.” Demichelis himself stresses that there is still room for improvement in the last third of the game, and BILD says a step forward is needed to win against Gladbach.
Transfer Market and Squad Strategy
Schäfer keeps the possibility open that RB Leipzig may need further acquisitions to survive in the Bundesliga. “We still do not pay moon prices. We only do things that increase quality,” he says. New signings must be better than the players already in the squad. With the current squad, the team is well equipped and the players receive trust.
Future Prospects
The ambitions lie in the top‑four of the Bundesliga and the knockout stage of the Champions League. Schäfer relies on the experience of the past season and stresses that patience with the own players is necessary. In the wide positions, Johan Bakayoko could take over Yan Diomande’s role, while Brajan Gruda is considered an alternative for the flank. BILD sees hope but also a high risk.
Conclusion
RB Leipzig has laid a solid start with the 6:0 win over Eintracht Trier. The current game plan and squad strategy are solid, but the team still needs to improve the final third to reach the high goals in the Bundesliga and the Champions League.
