RB Leipzig: Ole Werner's tough preparation for the new season!

RB Leipzig are set for an exciting new season as Ole Werner, 37, has been officially introduced as coach. With him come fresh ideas and an energetic style of play, which the club urgently needs. Werner plans to lead the team back to the top of the table and qualify for international business. Sports director Marcel Schäfer emphasizes that Werner has the ability to specifically develop both teams and individual players. There are a lot of rumors at the moment about possible additions and departures to the squad, but Werner would first like to get a clear picture of his team.

Preparation for the new season has already begun. Players are expected to undergo mandatory testing in the next few days, while actual training is scheduled to start on Monday. In the first phase, we not only work on football skills, but also focus on the physical fundamentals. Werner attaches great importance to a physically demanding style of play that includes both running and ball units. His goal is to develop a solid defensive structure and to develop various approach strategies against opposing formations. This was described by Jürgen Klopp as “proactive, intense and orderly”, complemented by creative elements.

Intensive preparation and first test

The focus in the first training sessions is on sharpening the basics for an active, courageous and offensive style of play. All players completed the performance tests satisfactorily, which enabled a positive start to the intensive preparation phase. The first test will take place on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. against regional league team ZFC Meuselwitz, followed by a training camp in Donaueschingen, which will take place from July 23rd to 30th.

Werner plans to combine elements of his previous coaching approaches with the proven virtues of RB Leipzig. The new style of play will aim to act with conviction and determination, without hiding on the defensive. Changes in the squad seem inevitable as returnees like Timo Werner and Andre Silva are unlikely to have a chance of a place in the squad. A clear plan is now in sight, and anticipation for the challenges ahead is growing.

The next few weeks will be crucial in the reorganization of the team under Ole Werner, and both players and fans are looking forward to the changes and the games that lie ahead.
