Nagelsmann blasts 'school team' Leipzig after Hertha draw

BERLIN: Julian Nagelsman slammed 10-man RB Leipzig for defending like “a school team” in Wednesday’s 2-2 draw at home to Hertha Berlin behind closed doors which cost them the chance to go second in the Bundesliga.

“We started well, but fell behind because we defend a set piece like a school team,” fumed Nagelsmann. “We have to blame ourselves for this. We’re happy that we scored another point, but I’m not happy at all.” Leipzig had just been reduced to 10 men when defender Marcel Halstenberg was sent off for a second yellow card after a late foul on Brazil U-23 striker Cunha, who was playing against the club he left in January.

The result leaves Leipzig third in the table, two points behind Dortmund, beaten 1-0 on Tuesday by leaders Bayern Munich who are seven points clear and on course for an eighth straight German league title.Schalke are winless in ten games as their free fall down the table continued with a 2-1 defeat at relegation-threatened Fortuna Duesseldorf.

Cologne were reduced to 10 men when Belgian defender Sebastian Bornauw was shown a straight red for fouling Baumgartner, who set up defender Steven Zuber to leave Hoffenheim 3-0 up early in the second-half.
