The ex-coach couldn’t have done much better …
Leipzig shoots Hertha 6-0 down – after only four points from five games, is back on track for now. Trainer Jesse Marsch (47) has resorted to a success system.
The return of the nail men!
As under Julian Nagelsmann (34 / now Bayern), RB is playing for the first time this season with a back three in defense. With proven staff: With the exception of Gvardiol, there are no newcomers in the starting line-up. King transfer André Silva (25 / for 23 million from Frankfurt) must first go to the bank.
And suddenly it works at Leipzig: Nkunku (16th), Silva substitute Poulsen (23rd) and Mukiele (45th + 3) made everything clear against completely overwhelmed Berliners before the break. And in the second half, RB continues to do magic – Forsberg with a penalty (60th), again Nkunku (70th) and Haidara (77th) finally shoot down Hertha.
Thanks to the nail man tactic!
Marsch confirms: “We said that a back three works well against a team that can defend more deeply. The guys know the triple chain very well from the past two years. “
Goalscorer Poulsen explains: “The most important thing in this game was that we were all there for each other. That has been missing in the past few weeks. “
Will RB soon be reinforced by an ex-national player?
Boss Oliver Mintzlaff (46) confirmed the interest in Mario Gomez (36) before the game. Sport BILD and BILD reported on Wednesday about the plan to bring the former Bayern star into the Red Bull Group.
Mintzlaff: “Mario Gomez is an interesting person. He had an exciting career in which he has experienced ups and downs and has fought his way back again and again. He has great charisma. Mario will not become sports director at RB Leipzig. But it is no longer a secret that we are in exchange. “
