RB Leipzig Coach sarcastically commented on Manchester United’s Performance

DBasia.news – Manchester United’s performance throughout the 2020-2021 Champions League group phase is somewhat inconsistent. This has made Julian Nagelsmann, as the coach of RB Leipzig, commented on the matter sarcastically.

The draw has put Manchester United into group H which is considered to be the hell group. This cannot be separated from the merging of RB Leipzig and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), who were semifinalists and finalists last season in this group.

One other team that is part of this group is Istanbul Basaksehir. The Turkish representative cannot be underestimated as they have a number of former big club players who are entering the end of their career.

This condition has only made few people favor Manchester United to qualify for the top 16. PSG and Leipzig are considered to have more opportunity.

However, Manchester United had time to overturn predictions when they defeated PSG and Leipzig in the first two matches. The two victories has made the Red Devils’ steps to qualify from this group wide open.

Unfortunately Manchester United’s appearance declined after that. The defeat of Istanbul Basaksehir and PSG has made the British representative’s fate change completely.

Manchester United are now in danger of failing to qualify from the group phase and being thrown into the Europa League. That would happen if they were defeated when they visited Leipzig’s headquarters in the last match at the Red Bull Arena, Wednesday (9/12) at 03.00 WIB.

“Most of the group phase they went through sitting in first place. Now if they lose, they may not head to the knockout phase,” Nagelsmann stated.

Nagelsmann seemed to forget that Leipzig had been destroyed by Manchester United with a score of 5-0 when they visited Old Trafford, at the end of last October. At that time his care team was made helpless.

Nagelsmann now has the ambition to take revenge. He felt Leipzig at that time did not deserve to lose by a landslide score.

We can’t say they played well at the time, but they defended really well. We were better in the game but a little too scared at first, “he concluded.
