Stallorder is for the boss of Leipzig "Nonsens"

RB Leipzig manager Oliver Mintzlaff described a "stall order" as "nonsense" before the sparse duel between the Bundesliga club and FC Red Bull Salzburg. Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz is "zero commanull" in the operations sector and has no influence over Salzburg, Mintzlaff said in an interview with Leipzig's "sports buzzer".

"Salzburg and Leipzig have a common past, but not a common present or future," said 43-year-old Mintzlaff, former head of global football and head of Red Bull's global football business.

"Nothing" was bad in the duel of both clubs this Thursday (at 18:55), said Mintzlaff. "But I do not want to say that it's a special game.The story is well known, the two clubs have not been linked in recent years only by the common sports director Ralf Rangnick, they also play with some old Salzburg, "he said.

Salzburg draws to qualify for the round of 16. The home game, which leads group B with 12 points, went 3-2 in the first leg.
