On Tuesday in Tel Aviv, Salzburg completed the first leg on the way to participation in the Champions League with flying colors with a 2-1 victory. Regarding the second duel with the Israelis on Wednesday in Wals-Siezenheim, coach Jesse Marsch at the Innviertel will probably spare one or the other regular player, but a continuation of the last series of successes is firmly planned.
The “Bulls” had eleven wins and two draws in their last 13 league games and won their last eight competitive games in all seasons. The shape of the curve is correct, as confirmed by Marsch. “Our games so far this season have not only been very good in terms of results, but also in terms of performance. They were all a little different from each other, but each one was important to our learning process and gives us confidence for the next games, ”said the American.
Typical Bundesliga, third round
Saturday, 5 pm:
Ried – Salzburg
Ried, Josko-Arena, SR Ouschan
Possible configurations:
Ried: Sahin-Radlinger – Reiner, Reifeltshammer, Meisl – Kerhe, Ziegl, Nutz, Lercher – Offenbacher – Grüll, Gschweidl
Salzburg: Stankovic – Vallci, Onguene, Wöber, Farkas – Ashimeru, Bernede, E. Mwepu, Okugawa – Adeyemi, Berisha
The next game against Maccabi certainly will not stalk the neck, promised Sekou Koita, who brought a breath of fresh air to Tel Aviv after his substitution at halftime and set up Masaya Okugawa’s winning goal in exemplary fashion. “It is important for us to ignore the play-off game and fully concentrate on the Bundesliga,” said the Mali forward.
Ried speculates with surprise
Their coach Marsch enters the duel with respect against the Austrian Highs who started with a win over WSG Tirol and a loss to Austria. “Ried is a team that has a lot of fighting spirit and mentality,” said the Salzburg manager. “In the two previous Bundesliga appearances, they always scored last. It certainly won’t be a walk in the park for us, we have to stay focused and focused from the start and try to make the most of our opportunities.
In any event, Ried’s supervisor, Gerald Baumgartner, believed the announcement made by his Salzburg colleague. “Salzburg are professional enough to play this game seriously,” said the 55-year-old, who hopes the opponent will make some changes. Moving with the “Bulls” doesn’t have to be an asset to the Innviertel. “You just have to look at your bench to see what quality there is,” Baumgartner said.
However, Rieder’s coach speculates, like all outsiders, with a surprise against the defending champion and leader of the table. “The little one always has a chance against the big one when he does his homework. Salzburg are the big favorites, but we will not allow them to take the points voluntarily, ”announced Baumgartner.
