New life for Ilaix

The earthquake on RB Leipzig’s bench may have positive consequences for Ilaix Moriba. The former Barcelona player was not at all happy with Jesse Marsch, sacked last Sunday as coach of the team sponsored by la Red Bull And he has not changed much after his departure, since against City he only played six minutes. The Guinean-born midfielder did not count under Marsch, who only gave him a total of 96 minutes on the green so far this season. The time for Ilaix may have come. Tedesco, the new coach, will bring new ideas.

“He has talent, but he needs to play with more rhythm and understand that there is no need to always have to do something special in decisive moments. He needs to understand better on the field what we need and what is important to us,” explained the dismissed Marsch recently, hinting that he did not consider Ilaix mature enough to make him a key part of his Leipzig, currently ranked eleventh in the Bundesliga.

“He has to be patient. He is only 18 years old and now he wants everything. But in our team he has to win every minute. That is the most important thing for his mentality,” he said in an interview with the German newspaper. image that did not sit well with the player’s environment at all. “You have to get used to the intensity in Germany, which is very different from Spain, where it is a lot about playing the ball and maintaining possession. The important thing here is to understand the intensity,” he stressed.

It seems that those who did not quite understand what Marsch wanted were the players themselves and the RB board of directors, who, seeing the objectives of the season in danger, did not hesitate to get rid of the controversial coach.
