Player Valuation: £80m
They might not hide from it being a pure marketing exercise for their product, but that doesn’t make them more likeable - less so IMO.
Oh they’re not likeable I just don’t agree when people say it’s cheating. They sell more players to other teams than they do to Leipzig. If it was cheating Erling Haaland wouldn’t be at Dortmund right now.
RBL MATCHDAY
Well the Rückrunde begins today (sort of) and hopefully there's a marked improvement in quality after last nights absolute Goodison snoozefest. RBL are away to in-form Stuttgart with a 7.30pm KO LIVE on BT Sport 3. The squad is still quite thin due to injuries with Laimer and Henrichs long term absentees, Konate & Nkunku out temporarily and both Mukiele & Kluivert doubts for this one. New signing Szoboszlai is ineligble to play till the next matchday. Lukas Klostermann is back in training but unsure if he'll be given minutes today.
Nagelsmann also did a nice interview for the DFL too: https://www.dierotenbullen.com/en/news/articles/2020-21-season/nagelsmann-dfl-interview.html

Angelino (who else) almost scores another beauty but his half volley well saved by Kobel. Two very young, vibrant teams on show.

Think it’s fair to say Halstenberg has been outgrown by the club and Upamecano is starting off this year as mildly overrated as the last.

Penalty to RBL. Sliced through the side then Forsberg tackled from behind. Not massively sure it would be a pen.

Amazing save from the keeper means it’s still level here.

Absolutely miles off his line to save that penalty. VAR still turkey drunk it seems.

Haidara somehow doesn’t score 1v1 in the start of the second half. Think this will end up ones of those what could have been matches.

Finally. Angelino cross in ends up to Olmo back stick. Stuttgart we’re just growing into it so much needed.

Haidara certainly isn’t a forward. Kobel saves a great shot of his before he somehow lashes it over the bar on the rebound. Looks like Klostermann is coming on for his first game of the season. Good to have him back.

Should be an equaliser for Stuttgart. Customary Upamecano sloppy error leads to a 1v1 but big Pete to the rescue.

Sorloth can’t catch a break. Another amazing save to stop a header into the back post. Some keeper this young lad.
