Coach Marco Rose’s team couldn’t get more than a 1-1 (1-0) draw with favorite opponent TSG Hoffenheim and remains one point behind VfB Stuttgart with one more game. After nine games without defeat, only victories on the last two matchdays will help third place, and Borussia Dortmund could also come closer from behind.
“No, it doesn’t matter,” the RB Leipzig goalkeeper said energetically to a reporter. Whether third, fourth or fifth place – the premier class is safe anyway. “But we aim to be at least the third-best team in Germany,” emphasized Gulacsi: “You can see that the Bundesliga has held up very well internationally this year. Coming third in this league is important for us.”
“We still have a chance. We will give everything until the end to finish third,” said Gulacsi. There are “two more ways to still finish third,” added coach Marco Rose: “We want to play good games because we still want to improve the table.”
Benjamin Sesko’s lead (38th) was not enough for the sixth competitive win in a row against Kraichgauer, after the yellow-red card for Xavi Simons (72nd), Andrej Kramaric (90th) equalized. With the point, Hoffenheim temporarily moved up to seventh place in the European Cup, but four teams could still overtake them over the course of the weekend. The dream of international business will probably also need six points from the remaining two games.
After securing their sixth Champions League participation in a row, Leipzig was happy about their planning security. While it was forbidden to let the season end, the motto was: “We have other ambitious goals and want to do the best we can,” said Rose energetically. His team got off to a lively start in front of 25,066 spectators and restricted Hoffenheim deep in their own half.
