The club overcame its crisis by thinking smaller and more clearly – fewer expensive transfers, more development, and more RB DNA. Coach Ole Werner is considered the key to this course correction. RB Leipzig expert Ullrich Kroemer from the RBlive podcast analyzes in the Fever Pit'ch podcast how Werner has established a new work ethic with calm and clarity. The team once again feels like a cohesive unit, and simplicity has become a strength. However, Kroemer warns against "Red Bull hubris": No sooner is Leipzig back on top than names like Oliver Glasner or Xabi Alonso are being touted as alternatives to Werner. From a sporting perspective, RB Leipzig is not yet a top team – their record against Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen remains weak. For the Champions League, they need more maturity and control of the game, qualities that must first be demonstrated under the strain of competing in three competitions. Already, stadium expansion and greater ambitions are being discussed, even though it was precisely this pressure to grow that led the club into crisis.
