RB Leipzig’s project had a wild season with Julian Nagelsmann at the helm, leading the Bundesliga midway through, before fading to 3rd place. However, RBL made a great run in the UCL into the semifinals. We assess that first campaign, discuss the offseason moves and figure out where Leipzig are heading into 2020\21 with a man who follows RB football.
Introducing Jack Brace the founder of Red Bull Hub who helps me break down the following topics:
* Hee-chan Hwang’s role in helping to replace Timo Werner and how others can help
* improvement in depth, but not in quality?
* is this gonna be Amadou Haidara’s season?
* the midfield problems with Konny Laimer’s injury
* Kampl vs Adams
* who’s gonna play fullback and the role of Benni Henrichs
* what happens to fringe squad players like Lookman/Forsberg, etc?
* the Poulsen dilemma
* Jean Kevin Augustin’s contract dispute and the legal battle vs Leeds
* in praise of Gulácsi
* outlook for 20\21 season
