Our final home game is approaching! Die Roten Bullen face VfL Wolfsburg, who are 16th in the league table, in the last competitive home fixture of the season on Saturday (KO 15:30 CEST).
Head coach Ralph Hasenhüttl and midfielder Dominik Kaiser spoke to the media about the upcoming opponents and gave updates on the squad ahead of the match.
Ralph Hasenhüttl
“It’s our last home game of the season and we want to pick up an important three points. It’s been a season with a lot of highs, but there have also been some lows sprinkled throughout. It’s now time to give something back to the fans in the last home game because they’ve supported us so much and helped us through the highs and lows. We want to make sure that we have something to celebrate at the end of the season and that’s the mentality we’ll be taking into the game on Saturday.
The lads have been fully focused in training. We’re not overflowing with confidence at the moment, but we have to build up confidence in the game by winning the ball and hopefully taking the lead. We have to make use of the chances which present themselves. If we go behind, we have to believe in ourselves and show the mentality to come back. We need a lot of energy on Saturday! Everyone at RB Leipzig is facing this challenge together.
It happens with every opponent we face who are fighting to stay up. We work hard to create big chances to score the opener so that we can qualify for Europe. Wolfsburg will give their all in the game. They’ve tried a lot of new things in recent games and made changes so we’ll have to see how they line up and what they do against us. However, it’s not so important what they do, it’s more about how we implement our tactics.”
