The Leipziger run far behind their expectations: 26 the explanation why RB is so reduce off.

1. Missing hierarchy

RB has neither leaders nor “dirty bags”. All too form. The seek for such gamers has lengthy been working.

2. Too small squad

A bigger squad was intentionally disbursed with. An immense mistake! In some circumstances, solely youngsters sat on the bench. More strain on the beginning XI would have additionally helped.

3. Injury badge

Ex-coach Marco Rose’s favourite speech. Over a very long time, common gamers corresponding to Xavi Simons, David Raum, Antonio Nusa or Xavier Schlager have been lacking. But even internally it’s clear: with the remaining squad, it ought to have been not less than ten extra factors.

4. Well-being oasis

Many gamers take the annual minimal objective of Champions League qualification too actually. The title by no means performed a task within the cabin.

5. Paying type

Power soccer, urgent, ball conquest, steep go, dash, commencement? There is sort of nothing left of that. Under rose was largely performed throughout as an alternative of deep. Often solely half the workforce took half within the urgent. Running Gag within the cabin: We don’t play RB soccer, however rose soccer.

6. Xavi Simons

From miracle to the issue youngster! After his lengthy harm within the first half of the season, the playmaker confirmed up, seen with star gallets on the sector and within the cabin: listless appearances, little defensive work, egocentric type of play and PR appointments burst at brief discover.

7. David room

For a very long time was one of many few RB lighting. But the nationwide participant’s positional errors value some targets. And he was not so fixed. Only two of his 74 flanks led to targets.

8. Mind body

Six coaches (Ralph Hasenhüttl, Ralf Rangnick, Julian Nagelsmann, Jesse Marsch, Domenico Tedesco, Marco Rose) and simply as many managers (Rangnick, Markus Krösche, Oliver Mintzlaff/Florian Scholz, Max Eberl, Marcel Schröder, Rouven Schäfer) with generally very completely different philosophies in 2016 Let gamers turn into piles. Very few nonetheless have the traditional RB strengths.

9. Too a lot common

Whether entrances or personal gamers – RB at all times depend on efficiency improvement. In the meantime, there are too many gamers within the squad (Lukas Klostermann, Kevin Kampl, Yussuf Poulsen, Amadou Haidara, Willi Orban), the place it’s clear: It would not get any higher.

10. Supported separations

There would have been alternatives to make these gamers in cash. But gives for Poulsen (from Dortmund) or Klostermann (UA as Rome) have been knocked out – and as an alternative the contracts prolonged costly. Exactly these squad locations are at the moment blocked for brand new gamers.

11. Advice resistance

Rose was repeatedly identified internally on the much less dynamic type of play. Without success! Even when Jürgen Klopp and his helper Zsolt Löw and Peter Krawietz gave ideas, they weren’t noticed and partially rejected. In winter there have been ideas to broaden the teaching employees. Rose did not need that both.

12. Hold on to Rose

The bosses turned out that he solely needed to go in March. Rose was already up for debate earlier than the season, when his contract was prolonged. He was additionally suggested about him within the first half of the season and within the winter break.

13.

Already within the dismissal of ex-manager Eberl it was proven: The most essential factor for RB is the entire dedication to Red Bull and its ideas. The undeniable fact that Rose elementary ideas (taking part in, transfers, journeys overseas, PR campaigns) internally and publicly criticized and partly ridiculed precipitated unrest.

14. Out-Flaute

His 24 targets from the pre -season now solely adopted 9. Lois Openda not appears full of life, much less assured, barely relaxed.

16. Bad protection

According to XGoals worth, RB ought to have obtained 56 as an alternative of 42 targets. The goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi and Maarten Vandevoordt prevented worse. The defensive gamers are sometimes too sluggish and improper.

17. Thin air

Only two groups allowed extra pictures to flank (80) – and solely Kiel extra head balls on their very own gate (108).

18. Not tight within the center

60 % of the targets have been comprised of the middle. Only Stuttgart is extra prone (61 %). And: Ten targets have been already fell within the recreation construction after lack of ball.

19. Claims

In autumn, Boss formulated Oliver Mintzlaff title ambitions. This precipitated unrest as a result of Rose and others assessed the excessive targets as unrealistic.

20. Schäfer’s inheritor

The new supervisor got here late in summer season. Competence leaderships didn’t permit earlier affect. The ex-Wolfsburg solely determined the acquisition of Nusa. He performed solidly till his harm. Many different entrances corresponding to Lutsharel Geertruida or Eljif Elmas.

21. Klopp doesn’t assist but

Since January, the brand new soccer boss has typically been in Leipzig-and in video games. Also final week. It did not assist. In Frankfurt (0: 4) it was catastrophic.

22. Fan-slhargie

Exercise as low than ever (95.3 %). Maue temper within the curve and sometimes hassle about pyrotechnics. RB tries to partially remedy the issues with compelled deprivation of season tickets.

23. Olmo exit

Play joke, cleverness and the particular one thing of Dani Olmo are lacking.

24. Problems towards small

The steadiness sheet towards groups from the decrease third of the desk: 5 wins, six attracts, a defeat. Means: 15 missed factors.

25. System confusion

Four or three chain? One or two strikers? One, two or three six? There was all the pieces this season. Including gamers who needed to play in utterly international positions (Benjamin Sesko over outdoors, Nusa as a left -back). Again and once more it was mentioned within the cabin that the gamers didn’t really feel protected within the formations.

26. Player blocked

Strong abilities corresponding to El Chadaille Betshiabu or Kosta Nadeljkovic have been used little, entry to Elmas didn’t play in any respect, turns into Turin to Leiten.
