The Danish striker has been with Die Rotten Bullen since 2013 and has played a big role in cementing the club’s status as one of the most exciting teams in world football. Having joined Leipzig when they were in the third tier of German football, Poulsen led the line to devastating effect and produced the goods consistently in front of goal, as they made their way to the Bundesliga in 2016.
Since then, both Poulsen and Leipzig have developed consistently, with the club reaching the UEFA Champions League semi-final in 2020 under Julian Nagelsmann. When asked by Sportskeeda to name his toughest opponent and his best teammate, the 28-year-old admitted that it was a difficult question but eventually narrowed down on his choices after much deliberation.
After looking back on Leipzig’s journey to the top, Poulsen admitted that the club’s best achievement was reaching the UEFA Champions League semi-final two years ago.
Yussuf Poulsen optimistic about RB Leipzig’s prospects under Domenico Tedesco
RB Leipzig have endured a tough 2021-22 Bundesliga campaign due to a handful of issues. Jesse Marsch, who replaced Julian Nagelsmann as head coach at the start of the season, was fired before the turn of the year, with former Schalke manager Domenico Tedesco taking over the reins.
While Poulsen acknowledged that Leipzig haven’t quite met expectations so far this season, he affirmed that they are on the right path under their new manager.
Leipzig are currently seventh in the Bundesliga standings but are just three points behind fourth-placed Hoffenheim. With 15 games to go between now and the end of the season, Die Rotten Bullen are more than capable of putting together a run of wins to secure a top-four finish.
