Although in the eyes of outsiders, the Leipzig Red Bull team gives the impression of a nouveau riche team, relying on the support of the wealthy Red Bull Group behind it to be in the Bundesliga championship group, but in fact, although the Red Bull Group does have the financial resources of the country, the operation idea of its team has never been Manchester City, Paris-style spending, on the contrary, they are very cautious in their recruitment, preferring the mutual circulation of young potential players and players in their own teams.

For example, last season, the target king of the Leipzig team was Scottish 19-year-old rising star Oliver Burke, who was bought by Nottingham Forest for 13.68 million pounds, and this season's target of the team is also the 19-year-old Zhang Zhetian who transferred from Arsenal, although he spent 110 million euros, but as long as you look at his performance in the first half of the year, you know that this transfer is definitely worth the money.

Putting aside the palm, the target of the planned transfer is Jane Kevin Augustin, who transferred from Paris Saint-Germain for 12.6 million euros at the age of 20. This kind of transfer thinking is destined to make it difficult for Leipzig to find a replacement for Keita of the same strength quickly, so once it is placed in Keita, it will inevitably affect the strength of the team, which is why the Red Bull Group still insists on keeping Naby Keita for a season even though they know that they can earn an additional 20 million pounds in transfer fees this summer, because the potential decline in the team's record caused by the departure of the Guinean will definitely bring greater losses to the team. And not just because of the deep pockets and not caring about the £20 million in income.

In any case, Leipzig did not have any need to open Keita's transfer talks this summer, because since the settlement clause already exists, Red Bull Group does not need to worry about not having a buyer at all, and choosing to sell to the Reds early is undoubtedly a favor to return their favor and a change in their original strategy.

It turned out that the former main goalkeeper of the Red Bull Group, Peter Gulacic, came from Liverpool's youth training, and the Hungarian, who was the third goalkeeper of the Red Army at that time, switched from Liverpool to Red Bull Salzburg in the summer of 13, and then transferred to Leipzig in 15 years, and sat firmly in the main position for a season. So it is possible that Gulacic will seek a move in the winter or next summer with fewer appearances this season.

Not only that, but Red Bull Salzburg also loaned Liverpool's academy player Winston, an English native who played an important role in Salzburg's title defense.

It can be seen from this that the Red Bull Group seem to have a preference for the Reds' academy players, while on the other hand, in the case of Winston's loan, the Reds have rejected multiple offers from the Championship in favour of a loan move to Salzburg, which also shows that the relationship between the two sides at the top level is quite good.

Therefore, Red Bull are willing to send Keita to Anfield, in addition to returning the favor, there is also a plan to adjust the original plan to get a limited loan or purchase right for their young players through their relationship with Liverpool.

The original plan was to cooperate not only with the players, but also with commercial operations.

As we all know, since Jurgen Klopp took charge of the Reds, Uncle Slag likes to lead the team to warm up with the German team every summer, as was the case with Mainz last year and Hertha Berlin this year, and it is likely that the Reds will host a friendly match with Leipzig next summer, and this may also be part of Keita's transfer.

For Leipzig and the Red Bull Group, maintaining a friendly relationship with Liverpool, a century-old Premier League club, was a great way to expand their influence, but the arrival of Zhang Zhetian changed their minds.

As mentioned above, Zhang Zhetian came to Leipzig in the eyes of some people is equivalent to Diego Maradona coming to Naples, so as long as Zhang Zhetian leads Leipzig to win the championship every season, even if it is only the German Cup championship and can maintain the top three in the league standings stably, coupled with Zhang Zhetian's own strong popularity and fans, Red Bull Group has no need to rely on others' snorts.

What's more, Keita's departure at the age of 22 has undoubtedly slapped Leipzig, a club that aspires to become a European giant, and has embarrassed the Red Bull Group's top management.

The departure of the Guinean is obviously not looking down on the team, and the idea of going to the big club is bound to affect the other talents in the team.

It is foreseeable that Emil Forsberg may not be able to stay, and Keita is now a big name in the team, and the Dane, who is now a big name in the team, would have left this summer if it were not for the toughness of the club's top management, and the Bundesliga assist king is definitely a sweet spot in the eyes of the giants.

Keita's transfer also alarmed Zhang Zhetian, and he returned to normal after closing the door to the club's top management.

It's another two-week international break, although there are not many players selected for the national team by RB Leipzig, there are many players from the national youth team of the Bundesliga with many young talents.

What Ralchenhuttl wants to focus on is the team's offensive routine, and it is still so difficult to play against the Bundesliga that is not as strong as his own, if he meets Bayern, Dort, or even the Champions League veterans, look at the fate of other German teams participating in the Champions League in addition to the experienced Bundesliga duo in the Champions League.

With the pressure of playing on two fronts, coupled with a desperate lack of experience in the Champions League and two-fronts, Hasenhuttl knows that it is not only stressful but also challenging to rotate players and achieve good results in the Champions League in addition to maintaining a consistent record in the league and laying the foundation for Leipzig's future rise.

After becoming the captain of the team, Zhang Zhetian gradually became proficient in handling the affairs of the team, building a smooth communication bridge between players and coaches, as well as the club's senior management.

There are no matches in the Europa League this week, but the world preliminaries on all continents are back in smoke, and at the same time, the transfer market is also entering the countdown.

After confirming Keita's transfer for next summer, the Leipzig hierarchy quickly finalised his replacement, signing Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Kevin Kanpur for the second-highest transfer fee in the club's history, Slovenian international Kevin Kanpur.

Kanpur plays as a right midfielder, but can also play as a central midfielder or midfielder, and has accumulated Champions League experience during his time at Bayer Leverkusen, although the 26-year-old is in his playing years, Leipzig signed him, not only because he looks at his Champions League experience, but also because he and Leipzig sporting director Rangnick are old acquaintances, and the two have worked together successfully at Red Bull Salzburg before.

The deal, which was Leipzig's last, was during the team's training session, and he received an unexpected invitation: a guest commentator on the national football match.
