Interim coach Achim Beierlorzer calls for a reaction after march dismissal

Interim trainer Achim Beierlorzer from RB Leipzig has called for a reaction from the team after the dismissal of coach Jesse Marsch. He is now allowed to leave his quarantine.

“The atmosphere is thoughtful, in such a situation there are no winners,” said Beierlorzer before the final group game of the Champions League against Manchester City on Tuesday (6.45pm in the live ticker): “It is now up to the team to reset the button press and actively look forward. “

The American march was on leave after the recent Bundesliga defeat at Union Berlin (1: 2) at the weekend. “It didn’t come as a complete surprise,” said captain Peter Gulacsi, “we were all a bit disappointed. It’s also because of the team and the results that we didn’t get together.”

Against England champions ManCity, RB is about to enter the Europa League. “It’s one of the biggest challenges in European football,” said Beierlorzer. Gulacsi said: “We absolutely want to winter in Europe, that is our big goal.”

Beierlorzer is allowed to leave the quarantine after surviving the corona infection. This was announced by RB on Monday evening “after the corresponding negative tests and consultation with the health department”. The 54-year-old will be on the sidelines against City.

Beierlorzer had already represented Marsch on the sidelines during his corona infection at the end of November until he fell ill with the virus a week later.
