FC Red Bull Salzburg take the Austrian Bundesliga by storm, the series champions top the table with a perfect score and the “bulls” can once again participate in the Champions League.
However, after the 7-1 win over TSV Hartberg (match report >>>), RBS coach Jesse Marsch has worry lines on his forehead. The reason for this are three crown cases within his team, which were known on Sunday (all information >>>).
“We have been saying for many weeks that our biggest opponent could be the virus. That is the case now,” the American declared on “Sky.”
Marsch demands self-isolation from his players
He did not notice any of these concerns in the Salzburg players on the field. The “cops” played their game despite the three failures and swept the Oststeirer off the field. “It is important that we do not get discouraged and that we have achieved such a performance. Unfortunately, we have no choice but to accept it. For now we have to learn to deal with it. We have seen how quickly it can go away It can,” says Albert Vallci, who was responsible for the 2-0 meanwhile.
Lest there be any more cases, all the Salzburgers are not canceled from their national teams, instead they should go into self-isolation. Marsch rallied his troops after the final whistle and told them to behave very carefully in their spare time so as not to jeopardize the future “police” season.
There are various theories as to where the three people from Salzburg were infected. The most outstanding is: In the playoff opponent of the Champions League Maccabi Tel Aviv, where twelve players are already infected. Guardian Cican Stankovic also believes that the encounter with the Israelis is to blame for the misery, but Managing Director Stephan Reiter has the opposite view (read here >>>).
“A small private mistake hurts the whole team”
Also Vallci can hardly explain the sudden infection of the three unnamed players, after all the tests had negative results until recently, even after the first duel with Maccabi the week before. “We still don’t know exactly how that could happen. Unfortunately, we don’t know if it’s really from this CL qualifying match. We have to keep our focus. You can see that a little mistake is enough in private and you hurt the whole team. Of course, it is not a reproach “, the Styrian does not want to jump to conclusions.
Unfortunately, it is not ruled out that more cases may arise. On Sunday morning, the people of Salzburg were completely screened again by rapid test, all negative. In the coming days, tests will be carried out with more intensity than usual to isolate infected people as quickly as possible. “There is a bit of uncertainty because we do not know exactly where it comes from. I hope there are no more cases,” hopes Vallci, who will spend the next few days on the Playstation.

Does international break an advantage? March is not safe
Given that the entire team will be staying in Salzburg for the next two weeks and Marsch can call on all players with the exception of the infected and thus can benefit from a mini-prep mid-season, this could be a huge advantage. for the “bulls”. “for the extremely intense next few weeks.
“If they are all negative, it is an advantage that they are all there. But for me it is a pity that ‘Szobo’ (Dominik Szoboszlai, note) cannot be with Hungary, or Andi Ulmer and ‘Cic’ (Cican Stankovic, Note) cannot He can play for Austria. I think the national team is an advantage. It’s a great feeling to represent his own country. Because of the tension, it’s good for us that everyone stays there, but because of the experience, it’s not good, “explains Marsch.
Immediately after the international break, Salzburg will continue with three weeks of English. In 22 days, a cup round, three days of Bundesliga matches and three standout Champions League matches await the entire Jesse Marsch squad again.
