In four of the twelve groups, ten points would have been enough to advance, like the WAC, which had the same number of points at the end. No one else in the group finished with ten or more points. That was also because Ludogorez didn’t get a single point this time. And the misfortune was ultimately self-inflicted. The 2-0 draw on 26 November at home to Royal Antwerp acted like the nail in the coffin. “Fucked up” was midfielder Peter Michorl’s brief analysis later.
Missing on Thursday in Bulgaria with a suspension, for him the Danish Mads Madsen made a good figure at the venue and also scored his first goal for LASK with a 3-1 (66th). “He took good steps forward,” Thalhammer said, praising the 22-year-old. “You can see that it can be a great reinforcement for us. But it still has a lot of potential. “
Europa League: LASK wins in Bulgaria
LASK said goodbye to the UEFA Europa League on Thursday night with a 3-1 win at Ludogorez Razgrad.
With Jewhen Tscheberko, who has only had 100 minutes on his legs for LASK, another 22-year-old summer signing made his international debut in “athletes” apparel: “Now he’s ready to play at this level” Thalhammer stated that “he has proven that he can be and will be a very important player for us. “
Thalhammer “very impressed” by performance
In general he knew how to please the final performance of his troops. “I was very, very impressed with my team, how they found focus and attitude today,” explained Thalhammer, whose men scored 0-0 despite the “incredibly dominant” first half, including the penalty missed by Thomas Goiginger (44th). the break left and immediately after starting again from scratch the 0: 1 conceded (46th).
“We stayed calm even after falling behind and finished the game clearly and clearly with a good performance,” said former women’s team boss ÖFB delighted. Philipp Wiesinger (56.), Rene Renner (61./Elfer) and Madsen finally dominated it and secured their deserved success.
Further development is positive
Thalhammer, who replaced the successful coach Valerien Ismael in the summer, sees himself on the right track with Upper Austria despite the bitter departure. “I see a very, very good evolution in the course of the group stage,” summed up the coach. “We develop well in all phases of the game. The game against the ball was of a very high level, so we improved the details. On the other hand, we improve our possession of the ball, in positional play. This is also proven by all the data. “
