Leipzig’s offensive didn’t really get going this season. An offensive jewel like Ilaix Moriba could therefore be urgently needed.
Leipzig – Only six goals in five league games – four of them alone against the VfB Stuttgart! The offensive of RB Leipzig hasn’t really gotten going this season. It is quite possible that Ilaix Moriba (18), the newcomer from the big FC Barcelona, can give the right impetus.

A little more than three weeks have now passed since the Saxons finalized the change. In response to the departure of Marcel Sabitzer (27) to the record champions FC Bayern Munich, the transfer fee was reinvested directly in the Guinea-Spanish young star.
“I will give everything every minute on the pitch,” was the promise on the very first day. But so far it has not been enough for any use.
The fact that the first game for his new club could take a while was foreseeable in view of the hacking at the Catalans. Frustrated that no long-term contract agreement was reached, the 18-year-old was not allowed to train with the first team as usual.

“You have to be realistic. My fitness level cannot be optimal at the moment,” said the offensive player shortly after his engagement.
In the meantime, however, the situation looks a little different. Even before the Bundesliga game against 1. FC Köln last weekend (1: 1), coach Jesse Marsch (47) said that it would not be long in coming. “Ilaix is always better at training. And more ready and ready. Not from the start, but overall I am satisfied with his work and his adaptation,” said the coach.
When it comes to the fought-over draw, it shouldn’t be ready yet. But it is quite possible that at the upcoming home game on Saturday against Hertha BSC the big moment of the midfield talent is coming.

Because Moriba feels most at home in the head office – with quick attacks, he can perfectly serve the people in front of him. André Silva (25) in particular, who has so far remained below his chances with the Red Bulls, could benefit from the 18-year-old’s pronounced passing game.
So it remains to be seen whether Marsch sees it similarly and at least lets Moriba loose on the Berliners as a joker.
