“It took us a bit of time at the start, but then we moved in and tried to gain control with good passing combinations.” This was the glass half full analyzed by the Leipzig captain, Willi Orbanto the microphones of DAZN following the 1-0 defeat suffered againstInter away on the fifth day of the Champions League. Only to then admit that “when you go to Milan with four defeats, you know that the team is not full of confidence”.
For the Hungarian RB defender it was anyway a step in the right direction: “A small step, unfortunately without points and without reward.” With gods improvements highlighted in the defensive department: “Our opponent was dangerous from set pieces, but in general we defended well. We stayed in the game until the end, but unfortunately we were never able to create real scoring chances. It’s really difficult to face a team Italian”, acknowledged Orban. “They defend very well in the box. We tried to push, but in the end we still lack the ability to create big chances and, as a result, we lost 0-1,” he added.
