Nagelsmann: “Soccer is a sector of the economy”

Two days left for the return of the Bundesliga and half the world is pending the highest German competition and its peculiar health plan that, supposedly, will guarantee the health and well-being of all. Of course, the Leipzig coach, Julian Nagelsmann, stressed that he will live football as he was used to doing on the bench. “I will celebrate the goals as always. I always scream the same, no matter what goal we score, and I always come up. I will do it again now. Nor do I celebrate the group goals, “explained the coach of the Red Bull team.

As for the discussion around the return of the Bundesliga, Nagelsmann compared sport with other sectors within a country's economy. “In principle, I accept and respect all kinds of opinions,” he clarified. “I am a participant in reopening as many sectors as possible within the economy. Soccer is one of them. If one branch cannot open, the other cannot. If you open a branch it is already better than none. If they open two, it's even better. And if they open all, it is the best, “concluded the former Hoffenheim coach.

When asked about the return of the Bundesliga, Nagelsmann does not seem too nervous. The Leipzig coach admits that his team is not at the same level as before the break, but is convinced that his Leipzig will compete: “Not that we are going to sign great performances on a tactical level, but we will not be a bunch of headless chickens on the pitch either.“he concluded.
