Werner, coach of RB, encourages team before Bayern match: "Keep playing football"
In an exciting turn of events, RB Leipzig is set to face FC Bayern in the opening game of the new Bundesliga season on Friday at 8:30 PM. This highly-anticipated match will take place at the Isar, the same venue where Leipzig secured a memorable 3:1 win against Bayern back in May 2023.
The Hungarian goalkeeper, Peter Gulacsi, will be between the posts for Leipzig in this highly-anticipated rematch. Gulacsi's key saves in the last encounter against Bayern have solidified his position as the starting goalkeeper.
Ole Werner, the new head coach of RB Leipzig, is eager to repeat the success they had in Munich three months ago, when they won the Supercup against Bayern with a convincing 3:0 scoreline. Werner believes it is crucial to play football away in Munich and wants his team to put pressure on Bayern at the right moments.
Last season, Leipzig suffered a 1:5 defeat in the away game against Bayern. However, the new season brings a newly assembled team under Werner's guidance, offering a fresh opportunity to turn the tables.
David Raum, the new captain of RB Leipzig, shares Werner's ambition. He expressed his hope for breaking Munich's undefeated record in opening games, which currently stands at 18 wins and 5 draws.
Werner encourages early pressing to achieve high ball wins and emphasises the importance of defending well in the game. He also stresses the importance of always having clear solutions in the game. The opening game is considered a chance for RB Leipzig to showcase their game and set the tone for the season.
The last meeting between the two teams in Leipzig ended in a 3:3 draw, with Leipzig squandering a 2:0 lead. Werner's assessment of VfB Stuttgart in the Supercup was that they were a well-rehearsed team playing in the same patterns as the previous season. If Leipzig can maintain their focus and execution, they stand a good chance against Bayern.
As the countdown to the match begins, both teams are preparing diligently, eager to kick off the new season with a victory. The stage is set for an intense and thrilling encounter between two of Germany's top football clubs.
