RB Leipzig's managing director Oliver Mintzlaff has criticized the performance of the vice-champions after the 1: 2 at Union Berlin and the third Bundesliga defeat in succession and a separation from head coach Jesse Marsch has not ruled out.

“That was a desperate performance, very, very bad,” said Mintzlaff on Friday at DAZN and was “very, very disappointed”.

Because of his corona infection, Marsch did not travel to Berlin.

“Today the team had a duty,” said Mintzlaff, pointing out that “not just a discussion about coaches”, but also “a discussion about the team”.

"That now has to be analyzed very hard," emphasized the CEO.

For the first time in their Bundesliga history, Leipzig suffered three defeats in a row.

From 14 games so far this season, RB only got 18 points.

"That is not enough for our claim, that is not what we can expect with this great squad," said Mintzlaff and admitted that "of course, in principle" people are concerned.

When explicitly asked whether he would rule out a change of coach, he said that you are now going "home with the impressions".

"And then we analyze that."

With a view to the upcoming game in the Champions League against Manchester City and the other Bundesliga games in the coming weeks, Mintzlaff said: "We won't achieve our goals that way, and we don't want to correct them in the first half of the season."

You will now "take a deep breath and try to sleep a night and then think with a reasonably clear mind what we need to do better".

This should also be discussed with Marsch.

Now “everything belongs on the table, that's no different with us than in any other club,” said Mintzlaff.
