Now things have changed according to Werner. The team of coach Julian Nagelsmann has passed an important test with the 0-0 against Bayern.

The 32-year-old coach initiated a smart maneuver by completely changing his approach. A few weeks ago, he spoke about the mountains top demanding from his team to develop more appetite for titles.

Now Nagelsmann made a U-turn taking pressure from his side. "We are far from ready for the title," he said, adding this is perfect that way. "We are well-positioned when ending up between two and four at the table."

Behind the scene, Nagelsmann hasn't lost one inch of his ambitions despite his comments indicating "we don't need to win the title."

In London, Rasenballsport might count on similar tactics moving his lines further up and away from their own goal to gain ball-wins and create counter-attack situations.

The Leipzig coach called it an important development step to have experienced "to be at the top and hunted by other competitors." Like his team, "I never was at the top after half of the season, being exposed to much more attention, feeling more pressure," he added.

"We are still around and take this as a positive step," Angelino, on-loan-defender from Manchester City, underlined in advance of the Tottenham clash.

Leipzig might have lost most of the duels against the Bundesliga's top sides but is taking the latest draws against Moenchengladbach (2-2) and Bayern as a success.
