In the 5th round of the Champions League group stage, before Leipzig challenged Manchester City away, Leipzig coach Roze talked eloquently at the pre-match press conference.
Speaking about meeting old friends Haaland and Gvardiol again, Roze couldn't hide his excitement: "I can't wait to be reunited with Haaland and Gvardiol. Haaland breaks record after record, and I smile tacitly. We were close, but we hadn't seen each other for a long time. I had time to chat before the game and I was happy. ”
We are also keeping a close eye on Gvardiol's performances. He's going to be able to establish himself at City, I know that. Under Pep Guardiola, he played between centre-back and full-back. After the first game, he told me it would take a lot of travel. Gvardiol is not only a great footballer, but he is also very easy to get along with, which is why he has been able to integrate into Manchester City. ”
Speaking about the game, Roze was full of fighting spirit: "This Champions League means a lot to us. Last week we were actually good in Wolfsburg, but it wasn't a good result. We lost the key to good results – consistency and the desire to win. We're going to show that in today's game, and that's what the top level demands. ”
Referring to last season's 7-0 defeat, Roze admitted: "It was a terrible feeling in that game, but it didn't destroy us. Against the world's best team, Manchester City, we will give it our all today to try to be even better. We know it, but we're here to give it a try. ”
