Leipzig (dpa) – Schalke 04 do not score goals, RB Leipzig does not go away: Logically, the meeting of the two clubs ended in a draw.
The Leipzigians live better because the contact with the summit remains unchanged. Although Schalke has left the direct relegation zone, he remains in great danger.
THE RANK OF DEFENSE: Both coaches can now count on that. No matter who is head coach Ralf Rangnick in his rotation, the back is zero. "I am pleased that seasoned players have regained their form, as in our first year in the Bundesliga," said Rangnick, including central defenders Willi Orban and Dayot Upamecano. It was only in two typical situations that the badignment was not correct, which made Schalke the only chance. Even with the Gelsenkirchnern, it looks better in the back. Leipzig had only two, three good chances to shoot. "We have now developed a zero-mind mentality," said Benjamin Stambouli.
THE ROCK ROOTS AVERAGE: RB has lacked creativity this time. Emil Forsberg was injured, Kevin Kampl was tired after the many face-offs and at his own request: ideas were rare in Schalke's game, as Rangnick and Bruma did not not started from the beginning. When Schalke and Kampl arrived, Schalke had to worry about the question. Tedesco gives too much importance to achieving his own goal. Moves to the opponent's penalty area found and runs too seldom. "We did not want to hit the knife," he explained defensive tactics.
THE STORM: Among these, RB has five very good, only the four used have not hit this time. "At crucial moments, the bad players were in the wrong place," Rangnick said on a missed opportunity. The national player Timo Werner himself is too much rubbed in the duels. "We got together well into the 16's, but then we ran out of creativity and efficiency," complained Yussuf Poulsen. From Schalke came to the head after standard situations nothing. Nevertheless, Tedesco remains calm. "If we did not find a chance, I should worry," he said. Stambouli hopes to make a breakthrough in the Cup against 1. FC Köln: "There we have to score the goal to go from the front."
OUTLOOK: With the exception of Forsberg, Leipzig can exploit its full potential and will continue to score points with the way it currently plays football and will also be able to beat TSG Hoffenheim on Wednesday in the Cup. Schalke needs goals to reward himself. "The good news is that no one is going to put pressure on us and that the coaches have their game plan, which has recently been largely put into play, which will give them confidence and we will win games again," said Weston McKennie. Rn-Trainer Rangnick also stressed: "Schalke does not belong to this place and will show it soon."
