RB Leipzig: “On the right track”! Tedesco special praise for Sörloth | Sports

Halftime in the RB Leipzig camp! Domenico Tedesco (36) drew a first conclusion on Wednesday. The coach talked about:

• the first camp days: “Things are going well so far, everyone is on board. It’s important that nobody breaks away. The strain is already very high.”

• the first test on Saturday against Southampton: “Of course, you prepare a game like this less than a league game. We want to look at ourselves and see what we train in the test match. We’re going to introduce something to Southampton – what system they play, where we have a room or two.”

• the future of Nordi Mukiele (contract expires) and loan returnee Ilaix Moriba: “This is the squad that is here, with whom I work – and I like that too. The boys are my boys, our boys – as long as nothing changes.”

• the squad size: “The squad is too big. You only have to look at the center, for 3 positions we have 7 to 8 players. That’s very simple math. Some will not be in the squad like that. And that creates dissatisfaction.”

• Alexander Sörloth returning on loan: “He’s doing very well, has a lot of presence on the pitch and is a very good guy who’s popular with the team. He’s on his way to take his chance positively.”

• the development of André Silva: “We’re promising ourselves a lot, also for the coming season, development is good, even if he – like some others – was in a small hole in the second half of the season. The only thing that helps is work – and regenerate when you’re a bit overplayed. André needs rhythm, trust and flanks. So he can be indispensable in the box.”

• the challenge of the second year: “It will be a season that none of us has played before. There is a World Cup in winter, we have the opportunity for the first time to prepare for the summer with a team. But to be honest, it’s already a bit scattered. The national players came back later, the last ones only in the camp. Those are the challenges. But we see it more as an opportunity. We can start from scratch and are up for it.”

• his pending contract extension: “There is no new status. The club approached me during the break and wanted to start the topic. I’m happy when the club is happy. But I asked not to talk about it now. Now it is important to focus. I feel good here, everyone can see that. Between September and December there is enough time to get together. It would be easy for me to say, let’s do it now.”

• the contract extension of Christopher Nkunku: “I congratulated Oliver Mintzlaff, it wasn’t easy keeping a player like that. It makes us happy. That can also be a signal for the team.”

• the season ticket record and the sold-out Liverpool friendly: “We also talked about it in the coaching team, those are nice facts. I hope and believe that winning the cup did something. I have that feeling. We were allowed to drive through the city with the trophy. Many families were there, many small fans who grow with the club and have now experienced the first trophy. That’s a lot of potential. I take it with great pleasure.”
