Domenico Tedesco talks RB Leipzig, ambitions and footballing ... (Bundesliga.com - official website)

Ever wondered who RB Leipzig coach Domenico Tedesco would support if Italy played Germany in a World Cup final, or in what languages the multi-lingual ...

We are in the semi-final and if you are in the semi-final you want to win it." You have to adapt to the kind of players you have and what kind of strengths you have inside the squad; this is the main thing in our work. Always working on the details is very important and not to allow external influences to come inside the team." "First of all, by not reading the newspapers and then telling the players not to read anything. The most important thing is to analyse your game by yourself and not to let [outsiders] analyse them. I think the whole team is working a lot during the game to create a lot of chances and [Christopher] and also Andre [Silva] are happy about this. But it's down to our work, the work of the team, that we reached these kind of games. To play the first game against Mainz and then to analyse what we can improve and to work on that during the week. "I try to just speak English during the team sessions. We had three games in December, and of course I analysed these games and tried to figure out what we needed to improve, and then in this single week we tried to work on it. Tedesco: "You know, first of all when you come to a new club, you have to know the team; you have to speak a lot with the individual players and try to find out what was the problem was in the past. Leipzig have been flying under Tedesco since the coach was installed last December. Currently chasing a top-four Bundesliga finish, through to the DFB Cup semi-finals and in the final eight of the UEFA Europa League, the Saxony-based side face an exciting final eight weeks of a campaign that promises so much.

Domenico Tedesco's RB Leipzig Revival (Breaking The Lines)

Domenico Tedesco, an understudy to Julian Nagelsmann at TSG Hoffenheim, and probably the last semi-successful manager in Schalke's multi-year fall from grace, ...

In the 14 Bundesliga matches under Jesse Marsch, Leipzig’s 6 fullbacks contributed just 2 goals and assists between them. This is also a key reason why high-caliber opponents found it so easy to score against Marsch’s side. Under Marsch, however, the 25-year old’s output in the final third took a marked nose-dive. Mohammad Simakan, Leipzig’s right centerback and the first player to appear in the clip, boldly steps into midfield before possession is cheaply turned over. Going forward, Tedesco’s tactical shift has also revolutionized the impact of Leipzig’s fullbacks. Thus, a new, but simultaneously well-known, face returned to the Bundesliga dugout.
