The RB Leipzig coach, Julian Nagelsmann, said this Monday that his team will be on Tuesday “at 120 percent” and that it will demand everything from the rival in the semifinal of the Champions League, PSG, in the fight to reach the final. Likewise, the 33-year-old young technician stated that “Nobody can foresee what Neymar is going to do” ahead of tomorrow's game.
“We will be at 120 percent and we are going to demand everything from the rival”Nagelsmann said at a press conference. “Everyone on the team is hungry to move on and step into the competition,” he added.
In addition to maximum intensity, Nagelsmann expects from his team serenity in possession of the ball and daring to create in their own game.
“We can do them more harm if we take control of the game and we create game, “he assured.
Nagelsmann also said that PSG “does not like to defend as much as attack” and that for this reason we must try to demand them in defense.
Leipzig finished the first round of the Bundesliga as the leader and then went flat down the stretch. Nagelsmann justified the downturn due to the forced pause by the coronavirus pandemic, which left the team “physically touched.”
“Now we are good again and we have ambition,” said Nagelsmann.
“It is about getting the last reserves, to achieve this there are many factors and also good nutrition and good rest have a role,” he said.
Asked about how he will face Neymar Nagelsmann, he said that trying to control the Brazilian has to be the job of the whole team.
“Nobody can foresee what Neymar is going to do at the decisive moment. We have to face it as a team. We won't be able to defend everything but PSG won't be able to either. We have to create our game, in the end the one who scores one more goal will win, “he said.
