Leipzig were runners-up in the Bundesliga last season, but this season's record is low, and the new coach Mahe has been dismissed after 1/3 of the season. Leipzig soon decided on a successor, with Tedesko 36 taking over.
Who is Tedesco? He coached Schalke 04 between 2017 and 19, led the team to a Bundesliga runner-up, and also broke into the Champions League round of 16, which was once regarded as a new hope in German football, competing with Nagelsmann.
Previously, Tedesko coached in Sparta, Moscow, where he left in May. After seven months of idleness, the young marshal returned to German football and took over Leipzig.
As the saying goes, changing the coach is like changing the knife, and Leipzig's performance has been reborn. In the first half, Angelinho assisted with a double, Gvadior and A-seat scored, and Leipzig took only 12 minutes to lead 2-0.
In the 87th minute, Bensebani pulled back a city, but Nkunku burst out in stoppage time, passing in three minutes to lead the team to a 4-1 victory. The 24-year-old Nkunku has shined this season, contributing seven goals and five assists after 15 bundesliga rounds, making 23 appearances in all competitions, and participating in a total of 22 goals, averaging nearly one goal per game.
After the game, Tedesko also showed his excitement without reservation, saying that Leipzig played a dominating game and could not wait to share the joy of victory with the fans.
In the middle of the week, Leipzig just beat Manchester City 2-1 to win two consecutive Champions League games to qualify for a Europa League knockout play-off. Back in the league, Leipzig won another 4-1 victory over Borussia Borussia, giving their opponents a wave of three consecutive defeats. It is worth mentioning that 4-1 is also the largest point difference record since the two teams met.
Currently, Leipzig are rising to 7th in the table with 21 points, and although they are 16 points behind Bayern, there is little hope of winning the title, but they are only five points away from 4th place Hoffenheim. Considering there are 19 rounds left in the season, Leipzig still has hopes of qualifying for the Champions League.
