Burned: Tedesco cannot imagine distraction due to Rangers

On Tuesday, the RB Leipzig Tross broke out from Düsseldorf Airport to Glasgow. Due to the tight schedule, those responsible at the Saxons waived a recurrence to Leipzig in the meantime. Because on Thursday evening (9 p.m., live! At Tross broke), the next game is already coming up for the team of coach Domenico Tedesco, a very important one: the semi-final second leg of the Europa League at the Glasgow Rangers.

With a tie or victory, RB would achieve the finale of Seville after the 1-0 first leg success and would be very close to the first title of the young club history. In addition, reaching the final would also offer the chance to get a place in the Champions League for the next season. Because the Europa League winner also moves into the premier class-directly into the first lottery pot in the draw of the group phase 2022/23.

Reaching the premier class at RB is the primary goal, and with a view to that, the 1: 3 was on Monday evening at Borussia Mönchengladbach for Tedesco's team "a small setback", as Willi Orban admitted. Peter Gulacsi evaluates the starting point - RB has fallen back from the fourth to fifth place, at one point behind the SC Freiburg - similar to that of the central defenders. "From this moment it is no longer just in our hands," emphasized the keeper and captain, "of course we still have two games in which we can get six points. But it may not be enough either."

Of course we still have two games in which we can get six points. But it may not be enough.

As far as reaching the Champions League, Orban is confident ("Everything is still open when we win twice, we are in the Champions League, I think"), but in the league Leipzig has the catch -up in This year, Pole position in the race for the premier class conquered the two youngest defeats against 1. FC Union Berlin (1: 2) and now re-given in the Borussia Park. For the first time under Tedesco and for the first time since the 13th/14th The game day (1: 3 against Leverkusen, 1: 2 at Union) RB lost two competitive games one after the other.

Palatinate lethargian appearance

The fact that the Lethargic performance in Mönchengladbach, especially in the first half, is related to the upcoming Europa League semi-final and that the team's thoughts may have been at the game on Thursday is decidedly rejected at RB. "It doesn't matter at all, we knew how important the game is in Gladbach," emphasized Gulacsi, and also Orban ("No, not at all") and Tedesco hit this notch. "I can't imagine," the Leipzig coach replied when asked whether his actors may not have been tackled the game in Mönchengladbach with a full focus, "as we talked about the game and burned the players."

two ways to the premier class

Check off and look ahead, now means the maxim at RB. After all, there are only two days left until the duel with the Glasgow Rangers in a probably bubbling Ibrox Park. "We won the first game 1-0, that was a first step," said Gulacsi, "we know that it gets hot, but we just have to play our football - better than in Gladbach. Then we have a good chance, then we have a good chance, to get to the final. "

And with that, RB would have another way to achieve the basic goal of this season.
