That’s a disaster for Rose!

After 5 winless games (including 4 bankruptcies), RB Leipzig with coach Marco Rose received a heavy 5-1 defeat in the mega-important game against Wolfsburg and went down completely!

So the RB crisis is getting worse and worse – and the criticism of Rose after the horror performance is even greater than it already was…

But despite the biggest home defeat in Leipzig’s Bundesliga history, manager Marcel Schäfer (40) gave Rose a job guarantee after the final whistle.

Schäfer asked BILD whether Rose would sit on the bench in the cup round of 16 against Frankfurt on Wednesday: “Yes, definitely. We are convinced that together we will achieve the turnaround.”

Endgame promise for Rose!

His team suffered a double shock early on against Wolfsburg! After a fine combination and backheel pass from Tomas, Wimmer finds Baku in the penalty area. Shortly before the baseline he crosses for Mohammed Amoura (24), who chases the ball under the crossbar – 1-0 (4th)!

And just 74 seconds later, Tiago Tomas (22) makes it 2-0! His long-range shot is deflected off Kampl’s back extremely badly – Leipzig keeper Gulacsi has no chance.

After the goal, Wolfsburg wrote on their own X account: “Wow! What’s going on here?”

RB shocked – for the Saxons it is the fastest 0-2 deficit ever Bundesliga-Story!

And it gets even worse: Amoura is only accompanied by the RB defense, is allowed to simply walk into the penalty area and also tunnels Gulacsi from an acute angle – 3-0 (16th)!

Leipzig is falling apart!

RB only conceded one goal in their first 5 home games. Against Wolfsburg and former coach Ralph Hasenhüttl (57, 2016 to 2018 at RB) the bell rings three times as often in the first 16 minutes!

Afterwards there is a brutal whistle concert from the Leipzig fans and chants of “We want to see you fight”.

Gulacsi: “Today everything went against us. Of course we also have ourselves to blame. The situation has become even worse.”

You don’t get the impression that the Leipzig stars are playing against their coach. But Rose probably didn’t reach his team with his locker room speech. Because the non-performance in the first 15 minutes can be explained differently. Symbolically: Leipzig now only wins a weak 26% of its duels!

Compared to the 0-1 defeat in the Champions League At Inter Milan, Rose changed his starting eleven to one position: Sesko replaced Silva (bench).

Bitter: Lukeba has to be knocked down after 30 minutes, Seiwald comes in for him. This meant that the already full Leipzig hospital (7 injured, including Raum and Xavi Simons) continued to fill up.

Shortly before the break, Gulacsi even saved RB from a possible 0-4 deficit with two mega saves against Baku (36th, 38th).

In the second half, Leipzig gets significantly better, but even concedes goals number 4 and 5 (64th, 90th + 1) from Joakim Maehle (27) and Kevin Behrens (33)! RB captain Willi Orban (32nd) scores the consolation goal in the final phase (82nd).

In the second half it becomes clear that Rose can hardly add any quality from the bench due to the personnel problems. This means that the Rose team (in office since September 2022) temporarily slips to fourth place. The Champions League is already over after five defeats in five games.

On Wednesday (8:45 p.m.) Leipzig is in Cup-The round of 16 against Frankfurt is the most important game of the first half of the season.
