“Of course that’s not possible at all,” complained Keller after his team’s 1:5 (1:1) defeat against RB Leipzig, which was overshadowed by insulting chants and the throwing of a glass bottle in the direction of a Leipzig player: “I don’t understand “Whatever is going on in people’s minds, we should be over such a status.”

It was “the clear minority of people in the stadium,” Keller added – and yet this minority is loud and stands out.

Leipzig coach Marco Rose praised his team for a “very good away performance” that would have brought a “deserved victory”. At the same time, the Leipzig native made a point of not overestimating the insults. “I’m here to connect, not to divide. It’s important to classify this correctly, not to condone it,” said Rose: “The people who don’t know it over there with us, they should come. There are quite a few a lot of cool people – like here. There are a few idiots – like here.”

Overall, “everything is very, very similar, that’s why we tore down the wall, even in our heads,” said Rose. He would rather devote his attention to the “lots of people” who “have the right attitude. We want to pull ourselves up on them.”
