RB Leipzig Have Introduced A Crazy New 'Wheel Of Fortune' To Punish Players

RB Leipzig manager Ralf Rangnick has introduced a mental new method of deciding how players are punished if they fall foul of club rules and regulations.

While it's standard procedure for a fine to be issued at most clubs, Rangnick, who is in his final season in charge of the club before Julian Nagelsmann takes over, has decide to spice things up a bit with a 'wheel of fortune'.

Players have to spin if they are late, use their phone during in training or turn up overweight.

According to BILD, he decided to switch things up a bit after coming to the conclusion that fines weren't doing the trick. His assistant, Jesse Marsch is said to have come up with the idea. It's nice and simple: guilty players simply spin the wheel and whatever it lands on, they must do the forfeit given.

No.4 gives you a lucky free pass but some of the others are outrageous - ranging from training in a tutu to working a three-hour shift in the club shop or 30 minutes serving food in the team cafeteria.

Here's the 12 in full, as per Who Ate All The Pies:

1. Pump up the balls, get them on the pitch, clean them - 30 minutes per day for one week

2. Train one of the academy teams on an otherwise free day - four hours

3. Stadium tour guide - one hour

4. Get lucky: No punishment

5. Mow and take care of the training pitch - four to six hours within a training week

6. Wear a pink 'princess' jersey or ballerina tutu for training - 90 minutes

7. Mix drinks ahead of training, fill bottles with water - 20 minutes per day for one week

8. Work as an assistant in the club shop for three hours

9. Serve food in the team cafeteria, clean the tables - 30 minutes per day

10. Work as kit assistant, take care of dirty shirts, help with cleaning boots - 30 minutes per day

11. Help load the team bus with crates and bags on day of away matches -around an hour and a half

12. Purchase small gifts for all of Leipzig's 60 members of staff

Not gonna lie, we're big fans of the creativity on display and would love to see footage of the players doing their punishments.
