Rangnick: Haaland could have led Leipzig to the championship title!

In a sensational interview with "BildTV", Ralf Rangnick, the current Austrian national coach, expressed his conviction that RB Leipzig would have been champion in the Bundesliga if he had not left the club in 2019. Rangnick answered the provocative question of whether he had won the title with Leipzig, with a clear "right". In his opinion, the decisive factor would have been to sign Haaland, who was lost by RB Leipzig to Borussia Dortmund at the time. Rangnick explained that at Leipzig, the attractive exit clause of 20 million euros was informed of Haaland's attractive exit clause, but this did not use what was proven to be a mistake. "If you had given Haaland a five -year contract at the time, you would have been a German champion in any case," said Rangnick. Haaland, who is now playing at Manchester City and is considered one of the best strikers in the world, became the decisive factor in Rangnick's reasoning.

Rangnick's criticism of the current situation at Borussia Dortmund could also not be clearer. In view of her latest defeat against Bochum, the Sky Analyst Dietmar Hamann turned against the club and claimed that Dortmund did not need a coach but a magician. Rangnick also joined the voices that Dortmund questioned in their sporting strategy. He found that no clear concept has been pursued over the past few years, which has a negative impact on team performance. "The players cannot be to blame. The basic structure of a game idea has not been followed for years," emphasized Rangnick. He referred to the successful times under Jürgen Klopp and criticized the management of the association for the fact that in recent years she has hadn't been able to put together a team after a defined style of play. Dortmund is currently in the midfield of the Bundesliga, but can hope for the upcoming duel against Sporting CP to qualify for the next round of the Champions League, such as Onefootball reported.
