“A duel at eye level”: the voices of Sturm Graz

LASK defeated SK Sturm Graz 2-0 in Sunday’s main game and inflicted the first loss of the season on Christian Ilzer’s team. A bitter result, according to the technician. Sturm Graz’s votes against LASK.

Christian Ilzer (Sturm’s coach): “The bottom line was that we didn’t pass the school final exam. This early deficit was very annoying for me. Before we had a good chance, and then one on the counter. Against LASK it’s really difficult to run after a deficit. We fight, but then he caught us over the course of the first half. Then we had a period of pressure and we deserved a point. Maybe I would have liked a trace of LASK’s efficiency, so things would have been exciting here. “

In the final phase, Sturm was clearly on the trigger, but then left-back Dante missed a mishap, which Linz seized for the final score 2-0. (More in the game report)

Ilzer on the unfortunate raven Dante (via Sky): “I do not need to apologize, he is a professional, a young player that we can pick up. He played a great game before and the only thing that matters is that he learns from the mistake and does not repeat it.”

Stefan Hierländer (captain of the storm): “We didn’t reward each other at the end of the day, we quickly conceded a bitter goal and slept for the first 15 minutes. Then we controlled the game, we had half-goal chances, but we should have played them better. We were on the trigger.” But we didn’t score. It is very bitter to lose this game today. “

Kevin Friesenbicher (Sturm player via Sky): During the first quarter of an hour we were not in the game as we thought. We kept getting behind the chains with deep balls and created some good chances. I think it was a match on equal terms and that we should have won at least one point.

Dominik Thalhammer (LASK coach): “A big compliment to my team’s defensive performance. They defended the balls well in the second half, when there were a lot of set pieces. Unfortunately, it was a bit confusing in the second half. Sturm played extremely aggressive against the ball. Then he did. We did not have control of the game anymore. We are happy with a win at work and a 2-0 away win. But we know we need to have more control in the second half. “

Husein Balic (LASK scorer): “I am happy that now it is also working in the final. Of course, I worked very hard. I lost a lot of opportunities last season.”
