Update from February 16, 5:56 p.m.:
When RB Leipzig receives Liverpool FC this evening, it will not feel like a home game for Julian Nagelsmann's team.
Which is simply because the game is being played in Budapest due to the corona quarantine regulations.
It became clear once again that this campaign was not well received by all those involved.
DAZN commentator Robby Hunke announced that he would not comment on the game as planned because it was out of the question for him to report from Budapest.
“With a hygiene concept, I can still take responsibility for job travel in the Bundesliga.
Travel abroad currently only in an emergency.
And I don't see it, ”wrote Hunke on Twitter.
Particularly bitter: “As a freelancer, it hurts because I get paid according to the assignments,” said the commentator: “But I think you should currently see the big picture.
Understand colleagues who do this for financial reasons.
I just see it differently.
My decision should just not sound like a raised index finger. "
Instead, Marco Hagemann will now comment on the game between RB Leipzig and Liverpool FC.

Munich / Budapest - Julian Nagelsmann and RB Leipzig * are probably not inconvenient that Liverpool FC is currently in a real crisis.
At least on paper, the opportunity to throw the English champion and his German world coach out of the premier class has rarely been cheaper.
But Nagelsmann refused to be lured.
He said that the Leipzig team, who recently won three league games in a row, are “very good flow” - but this does not mean that the 2019 Champions League winner is now becoming an underdog.
"I still see them as easy favorites because of their international experience," said the RB coach.

The Reds from Liverpool have had eventful weeks.
The misery of injuries knows no end, especially in defense, important support such as Virgil van Dijk or Joe Gomez with protracted wounds are missing.
To be successful over a long period of time is so difficult.
Liverpool lost all of the previous three league games, Klopp had ticked the championship after Saturday's 3-1 defeat at Leicester City.
13 points behind leaders Manchester City are simply too much.
The Reds are also out in the national cup competitions - when it comes to the title, “only” the Champions League remains.

And Leipzig?
The nail men are the only "pursuer" of FC Bayern *.
But seven points behind are also a lot of wood.
However, Nagelsmann warns of Liverpool, which have probably already messed up the title in the Premier League *.
"So they only have the focus on the Champions League because they can still win a title there," said the RB coach: "So I assume that you will go in there with full vigor and try to shake off the things that may not have worked so well in the league. ”
