Sunday, 15/01/2017 : RB Leipzig 4-0 Rangers
That was a useful exercise against a team that has only dropped 1 point at home in the Bundesliga, to Borussia Dortmund. Leipzig played the pressing game (as predicted), which stifled Rangers' ability to set-up attacks. The same pressing game meant that Leipzig always had a free man or men to pass to, from which they then launched their attacks. There is much to be gleaned from this match and if the lessons are learnt, then this exercise will have served its purpose.
