The Salzburg train continues to pick up speed after the winter holidays. After the sovereign 2-0 success in Altach, the “Bulls” followed with a clear 3-0 victory against SV Ried (match report >>>).
This means that for the first time since matchdays five and six in two straight league games, the series champion hasn’t conceded a goal, on offense things are going well all season anyway. This time too, because with a slightly better use of chances in the second half, a much bigger victory would have been possible than it already was.
However, for Salzburg coach Jesse Marsch, what counts in “Sky” is the strong defense, which was probably activated during the winter break: “A big problem for us is that we play at zero, my guys just have Mind you, stay that strong in the defensive third and then we’ll just have a great team. “
“We can always meet”
(The text continues below the video).
At the same time, the American tries not to downplay the top performance of his offense: “You could see our philosophy on the field very well, especially in the first half. We can always score because we have very good talents up front.”
One of these fine talents is new signing Brenden Aaronson, who immediately delivered a powerful test of talent when he debuted and with his assist to Rasmus Kristensen’s 1-0 lead also immortalized himself on the Bundesliga top scorers list.
“I am very proud of my performance, all the players naturally want to contribute something to the success and that I was able to book an assist directly makes me very happy,” said coach Jesse Marsch’s compatriot with “Sky.”
His coach also has words of praise for his protégé: “He played well. Day by day he learns that our league is very intense and that all teams have a good pressure plan in place. The first assist was very important for him and I think he is improving. with every game. “
For Aaronson, the intense game in the league in particular is something new, as he also emphasizes: “It’s a lot more aggressive here than in MLS. The pressure is higher and the pressure game is more forced, but I like that because I think that that also helps me as a player. “
Bernardo injured? “I hope it’s not so bad”
A small downturn, however, remains despite the sovereign performance, because the returnees Bernardo, who also celebrated his debut in the starting eleven, had to leave the field injured after a good hour of play.
Until then, the Brazilian had an impeccable performance, showing the flexibility that Salzburg has gained with him. “He played very well, he won a lot of duels, he acted tactically,” emphasizes Marsch.
Now there is hope that Bernardo’s injury is not too serious, as another monstrous program is imminent in the coming weeks. “We hope the injury is not so serious. It may be a few days before we know more, but hopefully it is not so serious.”
The battle for relegation is present in Ried
The world looks completely different in SV Ried. In the second game with neo-coach Miron Muslic, the Innviertlers are without a points victory, the brave appearance at Red Bull Arena almost becoming their undoing.
Muslic himself knows this too, who told Sky: “If you go into halftime with a 3-0 break against Red Bull Salzburg, then of course the game is over, especially away from home. So I have reasons. during halftime the player appeals so that we don’t get knocked down here. “
And yet the “Vikings” scored almost more goals in the final ten minutes of the match, with several attempts missing just inches for a standing ovation from the Salzburg side. However, the neo-coach was proud of his team.
“Salzburg just have the quality that they can score three or four goals. But we showed great morale in the second half, we got closer, we were there for each other. Those are virtues that can help in the relegation battle.” .
And then the bad word fell: “relegation battle”. The newcomer slides further and further into those, but is still five points ahead of the lower lights of Altach and Südstadt.
For Muslic, however, it was already clear when he took office that for better or for worse it would lead to a battle for relegation. “I actually knew from day one, that it would be very, very tight and very, very tight until the end. We are set for it by default.”
And although the result naturally did not go well, the neo-coach is satisfied with the performance, especially in the second half. “We have already made some progress!”
