While Leipzig returned to victory in the Bundesliga this Saturday on the pitch in Kiel (0-2), some of the local supporters held up a banner targeting Oliver Mintzlaff and Jürgen Klopp. Now integrated into the Red Bull universe, the two men were accused of being the “gravediggers of german football“.
These criticisms of the Redbull galaxy and its representatives are not new across the Rhine. For his part, Marco Rose, the coach of RB Leipzig, a club affiliated with the energy drink group, reacted firmly: “I think it would be very smart not to give a platform to fools. Let’s not talk about it, they just have to take their banners home. They painted something on it, had fun in the stadium and went home. No one reacted, no one was interested. These are nonsense that have been spread and that’s all“. A story which has not yet stopped being talked about.
