In the half-time break of the Champions League quarter-final between RB Leipzig and Atlético Madrid (2-1), the two coaches Julian Nagelsmann and Diego Simeone apparently clashed.
Julian Nagelsmann did not want to be completely out of touch with the language about the incident at half-time. With Atlético coach Diego Simeone, the RB Leipzig coach obviously clashed quite violently on Thursday evening during the half-time break. Was it possible that the Estádio José Alvalade was actually getting down to business?
In the joy of the semi-finals, Nagelsmann wanted the matter after 2-1 against the Spaniards at the Champions League blitz tournament then did not overestimate and reported a “very warm congratulations” Simeones after the final whistle. But: “At halftime I wanted to make it clear that he is a scary winner, that he also wants to win in the cabin tunnel,” Nagelsmann hinted at the dispute.
“That I did what I had to do against the fact that it ended in a draw in the cabin tunnel and we won the game,” he continued his story somewhat cryptically, ending with a compliment for his colleague known as a hothead: “I didn’t want that dramatize, but emphasize that I think the type he is awesome, that he probably wants to win even when it comes to Schnick-Schnack-Schnuck. “
Was there a fight between the two coaches during the break? “I’m not going to tell you in detail, you might see it on a couple of cameras,” the 33-year-old avoided. “He showed that he is a winner and always wants to win. I wouldn’t have done that, but everyone has to decide for themselves. “
What exactly was going on in the catacombs remained hidden from the TV cameras and will probably remain a secret forever.
