Hartberg is not completely dissatisfied after 1: 1

Hartberg didn’t get the perfect dress rehearsal before the European Cup premiere. But coach Markus Schopp wanted to be able to “qualify” the 1-1 draw in the first Bundesliga game in Altach. “Hartberg shouldn’t be dissatisfied with a starting point at Altach,” Schopp said.
Despite the changed expectations, Schopp also does not see reaching the master group as an obligation this year. “We want to be there if any of these great teams don’t perform as they should. But to speak of the top six as TSV Hartberg would be almost arrogant.”
The fact that the Styrians did not leave the field as losers in an opening game after 2018 and 2019 was again thanks to Dario Tadic. The scorer made “no chance” (Alex Pastoor) – a volley shot from the turn after taking the chest – the goal until the final score.
The forward identified the need to catch up as a team. “All the automatisms still don’t work the way you imagine,” Tadic said on Sky. “But I’m in a good mood because things will get better and better in the coming weeks.”
The international baptism of fire awaits in Gliwice on Thursday. The second round duel for the Europa League qualification will be decided in one match, the opponent is still looking for his form. After three rounds, the third of the 2019/20 Polish Championship remains winless, after two 0-1 losses there was a 0-0 at Warta Posen on Saturday.
Of course, Schopp already took a photo. “It’s a team that is very robust and very disciplined. When it comes to ball possession, they have a lot of quality in one position or another,” Schopp said of the opponent. “But everyone who knows us knows that we can grow with difficult tasks.”
Altach was a benchmark on Saturday. Last year’s eighth was even closer to victory in front of 2,358 spectators. “I think we deserved a little more than one point,” coach Pastoor said. He was satisfied with what they offered him. “We achieved some of the goals that we had scored. Many more balls, centers in the area and many more shots.”
Sports director Christian Möckel was “mostly satisfied”. One is happily on the right track, former Schalke striker Chinedu Obasi (34), who still lacked the playing permit, should be the wanted executor. Möckel: “If all the players are on board, we are well positioned.”
