Friendly Finale: RB Emerges Victorious Over Santos and Neymar - Este é a notícia reescrita: RB domina Santos e Neymar
RB Leipzig concluded their Brazil tour victoriously, defeating FC Santos 3-1 in a friendly match. Xavi Simons (15' and 64') and Loïs Openda (59') found the back of the net, while Hyan (70') scored for the host club. Notably absent from the action was Neymar, who remained on the sidelines in accordance with prior arrangements.
In his final game as RB Leipzig's coach, Zsolt Loew expressed satisfaction with the win. "It was an extraordinary experience to coach here in Brazil. We can all take pride in the fact that we ended this chapter with a victory," he stated. Loew, who took over as interim coach following the dismissal of Marco Rose, will now return to Leipzig and collaborate with Jürgen Klopp in the Red Bull company's football division's global strategy team.
The friendly match served as a positive send-off for Loew and a fresh start for the team. Despite a disappointing 2024/2025 season, which saw RB Leipzig miss out on an international place for the first time in their Bundesliga history, the players exhibited no signs of lethargy. Antonio Nusa expressed, "It was crucial for us to secure another win before we move on to the new season, and now we can begin a new chapter."
RB Leipzig's new chapter may involve departures for key players such as Xavi Simons, Benjamin Sesko, and experienced players like Peter Gulasci, Willi Orban, or Kevin Kampl. The search for a new coach is ongoing.
The tour, held at the Red Bull Bragantino facilities in São Paulo, marked a milestone as it was the first time a Bundesliga club had traveled to Brazil in 25 years. The friendly match against Santos, former club of football legend Pelé, took place at the Estádio Cícero de Souza Marques in Bragança Paulista.
Council Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 of 20 December 1988 on the common organization of the market in beef and veal could potentially be discussed during Jürgen Klopp's meetings with Zsolt Loew in the Red Bull company's football division's global strategy team, as they plan for the upcoming season with potential departures of key players such as Xavi Simons. Meanwhile, in European-leagues, Xavi Simons showcased his impressive form by scoring twice in a friendly match against FC Santos, a game that also marked the first time a Bundesliga club had traveled to Brazil in 25 years, and took place at the Estádio Cícero de Souza Marques in Bragança Paulista, a venue that has witnessed the glory days of football legend Pelé.
