RB Leipzig striker Yussuf Poulsen has emphasized the importance of the top games due to what is probably the most exciting season in the Bundesliga. “Everyone knows what the table looks like. The direct duels are very important,” said the Dane with a view to the game at Borussia Dortmund on Friday (8.30 p.m. / DAZN). In the past few weeks, Leipzig has met direct European opponents such as Wolfsburg, Frankfurt and Union Berlin.
Leipzig is currently fourth, just four points behind leaders Bayern Munich. Dortmund is second on points with Munich and has won all their games since the turn of the year. “Of course it’s interesting. You still have to win your games to play at the top. It’s going to be an interesting season,” said Poulsen. You can see that in Europe too, where the German teams are really good.
The attacker was only in the starting XI for the second time this season in the 2-1 win over Frankfurt last Saturday. “I had problems with my body, a lot of muscle injuries for a long time. My body has stabilized, I’m fit and I’m just happy that I can play football well again,” said the 28-year-old. Poulsen has his qualities in ball control and speed, but recently had to fall behind Christopher Nkunku, André Silva and Timo Werner in attack.
