Red Bull Salzburg got in the mood for the Champions League game at Atlético de Madrid with a win in Austria. Even without some regular staffing, the champions, who were still at maximum points, eliminated a small flaw at 2-0 and took the first win to zero of the current season. For Austria, the opponent was “currently too big”, as Peter Stöger pointed out. On Tuesday, Salzburg will play the role of outsider.

Jesse Marsch dismissed the question about zero on goals conceded. “It was often a problem, even when we won 7-1. Sometimes we made a mistake, we conceded a goal. That can happen,” said the American. A goal difference of 19: 4 after five rounds proves him right. Obviously, missing out on impeccable success ate away at the professionals themselves. “That shows the character of the team, that we always want to offer the best possible performance,” said defender Patrick Farkas. For the scorer Mergim Berisha it was the basis. “Because we can score up front in all matches,” emphasized the forward.
The German U21 player broke Austria’s defensive bar for the first time in just over an hour. Added alternate Patson Daka (91). It was a deserved victory after Salzburg’s improved performance in the second half of the game. Before the break, neither team had made a dangerous shot at the opponent’s goal. Marsch praised her second set, which she doesn’t see as such. “It’s about the mentality of the team. Our advantage is also quality. It is very close between the first and the second player (in one position, note).”
March: “I don’t need so many explanations”
Atlético’s home game against Betis Sevilla wanted to see Salzburg on the bus back home in front of the screens. The Madrid’s short preparation time worries Marsch less. “We don’t need so many explanations about which players, what style of play. It is relatively clear. We have to be very precise in our match schedule. Atlético is no different from Lok Moscow in terms of style of play, but different in quality in terms of playing style. field, “he said. . Against the Russians there was a 2: 2 for Salzburg early in the group stage, which the Mozartstadters saw as a disappointment.
The rotation in Austria could become a model for Salzburg in the coming weeks. Four days after Atlético, a home game against WSG Tirol continues. This is followed by a week of highlights at home against FC Bayern Munich (November 3) and away against runners-up Rapid (November 8). Then the next international break is expected.
In Austria, the evening ended when they realized that they had challenged the opponent, but missed the great opportunity for a surprise. In counterattack situations, the favorites acted very little on purpose. “We rarely make the right decision in these situations. We annoyed them, they were dissatisfied with their game. But you have to play certain situations more calmly,” Stöger emphasized.
This shouldn’t be a reproach to your young offensive players. “We have guys with us who played Liefering last year. Now they are playing against their Champions League team. So that’s fine,” said the violet coach, referring to Patrick Wimmer, Manprit Sarkaria, Benedikt Pichler or den Replaces Aleksandar Jukic.
Austria threatens to return to sixth position after the dreaded defeat on Sunday. The Viennese now expect two duels with Hartberg. After the away game next Saturday, the Styrians will play the round of 16 of the Cup in Vienna. It can be expected that due to the coronavirus measures, 3,000 fans will not be allowed to enter the Generali Arena as on Saturday. Stöger regretted it and took it with a bit of sarcasm. “The support was really good. We were always exhausted,” he joked. In any case, he is “happy with all the spectators who can enter the stadium.”
