Whether the opponent is Augsburg or Leipzig – Lieberknecht sees “zero difference” in the preparation. RB is a “big number” with good results in the Champions League and the league. And championship contenders, the Lilies coach added. Dani Olmo and Benjamin Henrichs will probably be in the squad, both of whom were injured recently. Lukas Klostermann will probably have to pass. “They are individually top-class in every position,” says Lieberknecht, “they play at the highest level, it’s very intense football.” Above all, he demands activity from his own team – and that they sometimes defend in a position where you don’t actually want to be at that moment. “Tactics are one thing, but we need a different key this time. Intensity, duels and mentality play an overriding role.”
