Now LIVE: Austria Vienna against RB Salzburg in the ticker – football

According to Jesse Marsch, the defending champion is planning three points against Austria which “has improved a lot”. Frequent players should be saved for Madrid.

“Dosage is important in games and in training units. So we will rotate a bit against Austria and use new players,” Marsch said before the fifth round game. The American is aiming for a fifth Bundesliga victory before the trip to the Spanish capital. Salzburg have scored 17 goals in four previous games. Austria is currently in fourth place.

The violets were already happy before the game. They can host 3,000 spectators in the arena, organize a “normal game day” in Corona times, as a spokesperson noted. Originally, the club had assumed a maximum of 1,500 visitors and a ban on the catering area. Then there would not have been a VIP area either. The government ordinance published Thursday night doesn’t take effect until midnight Sunday. In Austria, all the levers went into action immediately. “The cell phone was shortly before the explosion around 10pm,” head coach Peter Stöger reported.

In sporting terms, Austria wants to stumble the favorite. For that, according to Stöger, everything has to fit with violets. Phases in which your computer has not yet presented itself as stable should be avoided. “We have to push ourselves to the limit for more than 90 minutes,” said the Austria manager. “We have the ability to carry something with us,” Stöger knew. The opponent also has to play along. “Salzburg cannot have the best day, we need a superior performance.”

Its counterpart will rotate. It is unlikely that Zlatko Junuzovic, Andreas Ulmer or Patson Daka will start playing against Atlético on Saturday. “We have a large squad and we will use as many players as possible. We are also used to that from the last few years,” Marsch said. Only midfielder Antoine Bernede is injured.

Stöger also did not expect a decrease in the quality of the teacher. He’s used to “living with that beat.” The former Dortmund manager said the psychological component was more important than the physical. In recent seasons, Austria failed to capitalize on the perhaps distracted Salzburgers. For six league games, the Viennese have been waiting for a win against the Mozartstadters. Five of them were lost, the last 2-2 in Vienna in February. Marsch saw Austria as “much improved” under Stöger and politely spoke of a “great challenge”.

The disabled list in Austria has not been reduced recently. Vesel Demaku suffered a shoulder dislocation in the Cup, and is threatened with an operation with a hiatus of several months. Dominik Fitz and Alon Turgeman should start team training in the coming weeks.
