Important away win in Gelzenkirhen
Julian offered a very interesting tactic against Schalke. Team played with only one striker in the penalty area of Schalke. Nkunku’s main priority was pressing the defenders of Schalke and running up and down to tremble the legs of defenders. Sorloth and Angelino were on the wings but they were not playing as the role-winger. Their main goal was also going deep in the midfield and giving assists to Nkunku. Team had three central defenders and two defenders on the wings. Those two wing-defenders could run in the attack and don’t come back too fast because the three central-defender system could easily defend. It seems that Julian Nagelsmann’s strategy was well-thought because the team won the game. Leipzig scored three goals and took three points. Team scored one goal in the first half and two goals in the second half.

Keep in mind that Leipzig scored two goals in the second half. They found it easy to control the ball in the area of Schalke 04 area. Julian said that Schalke could not offer an anti-tactic because Leipzig’s strategy was a bit surprising for them. Nagelsmann praised the defender of Leipzig – Mukiele. He said that Mukiele is a very bright and cheerful guy. He did everything to lock the defensive line of Leipzig.
