RB Leipzig lost their final pre-season friendly against Lens 1-2. After the match, head coach Ole Werner had some comments on the game.

Ole Werner said: "The result was not what we expected. The opponent was more energetic and sharp today. We still have a lot of room for improvement in pressing, defensive aggression and our performance after steals. This game has given us a lot of valuable experience. The key is that we must learn from it seriously."

"We are in a stage of continuous improvement, but we must ensure that we are moving in the right direction. In this regard, we really need to coordinate our teamwork more precisely."

"Overall, I am very satisfied with some aspects, especially in physical confrontation, we cooperated very well. The tactical execution has also made obvious progress. Now we still have a week, I believe that by then we can call this pre-season game a wonderful one."

Arthur Vermeulen said: "Our performance today did not meet expectations. As a team, we need to improve both defense and offense. We are capable of doing better."

"Today's performance wasn't ideal, but we know our strengths. Now, we're focused on the next match. We'll discuss Sandhausen in detail next week to ensure we're fully prepared. We'll definitely be ready."
