Ole Werner feels his Leipzig squad “has the right mindset” to achieve

Here’s what Die Roten Bullen’s coach and skipper had to say after their victory in Lower Saxony.

RB Leipzig ground out an important 1-0 win over VfL Wolfsburg on Saturday. Head coach Ole Werner was more than content with his side’s efforts and praised Johan Bakayoko.

“Overall, it was an evenly-matched game and we had to work hard to earn our chances today. There were a lot of chances at both ends.

“There were several things I was pleased with when we had the ball, but there were some situations where we could have been more precise. 

“Baka[yoko] just keeps getting better and better and is getting used to the speed. He didn’t just stand out with his goal, but also in how he won possession.

“Our points tally is looking good. I think the team has the right mindset, which is what we need. However, there are still areas we need to work on,” he added. 

Club captain David Raum also shared his thoughts in the mixed room. He explained how proud he was of his side’s development since their 6-0 to Bayern Munich to start the season. 

“I think we could have scored one or two more goals today. In the end though, it was a gritty 1-0 away win – the kind that feels and does us good. Right now we’ve got that little bit of luck on our side. 

“I’m proud of the team. On matchday 1 we were heavily beaten, but we picked ourselves up and have won every game since. There’s a fantastic spirit on and off the pitch. It’s a joy to be captain of this team,” Raum said.
