Rose expects his team to be "greedy and aggressive" against Freiburg
Marco Rose also expects a reaction from his team in the Bundesliga. After the 2-0 defeat at FSV Mainz 05 and the subsequent place in the last 16 of the Champions League thanks to the 2-1 win at Red Star Belgrade, the RB Leipzig head coach wants to get back on the road to success in the league.
"We've lost some ground in the Bundesliga. I expect us to be greedy and attacking," said Rose ahead of this Sunday's game (7.30pm/DAZN) against SC Freiburg. Rose is particularly curious about the tactics of the team from Freiburg. "Will they also play deeper? Or will they surprise us and attack early? That's the exciting question."
Two strikers, Timo Werner and Yussuf Poulsen, are fit for action again. Werner, who was recently absent due to an infection and scored ten times against Freiburg, took part in the full team training session with the Saxons on Friday. Poulsen, who recently had adductor problems, is expected to be in the squad for the clash between the two teams with the strongest duels.
Leipzig are unbeaten in nine competitive matches against Freiburg. The Breisgauers have only managed two draws at the Red Bull Arena and have lost five of their previous matches.
Rose is eager for RB Leipzig to regain their form in the Bundesliga, specifically against SC Freiburg, as they aim to be aggressive and score often. The tactics of Freiburg, whether they play defensively or attack early, intrigue Rose.
