Red Bull Salzburg coach Jesse Marsch praises Bayern Munich ahead of the climax of the Champions League on Tuesday. Despite all the admiration for the defending champion, the Austrian series champion also expects a surprise.
Despite all the admiration for Bayern Munich, the Austrian league champions, Red Bull Salzburg looks set for the expected prestigious duel in the Champions League. “This team has no weaknesses, it is the best team in the world. But we come with our strength, we want to play with courage, with our passion,” coach Jesse Marsch said before the group stage match against the record champions Germany on Tuesday (9:00 p.m.). .

If his team can “play our football, we always have a chance. It is an incredibly big test, but we are ready,” added the American. Marsch urged his professionals to “play smart. Of course we have to defend well against a scoring machine like this. But it’s an opportunity to show our development.”
Junuzović, Salzburg veteran: “Why shouldn’t we do it?”
Former Bremen legionnaire Zlatko Junuzović (“It’s almost a derby because of the proximity to Munich”) was also looking for optimism ahead of the Austrian champions’ first competitive match against Bayern. Of course, a point or even a victory would be “a big surprise. But why shouldn’t we make it?”
Against Liverpool, Salzburg “would have had a similar constellation last season. I believe in our quality. We can show how strong we are,” Junuzović said. Red Bull impressed last season against Liverpool (3: 4/0: 2).
Furthermore, Bayern “never want to leave Salzburg alone, put it under pressure. This is the most important scenario, we don’t just want to be there.” So far, Salzburg have scored a point in a 2-2 draw against Lokomotiv Moscow. At Atlético de Madrid the “Bulls” suffered a 3-2 defeat a week ago.
Tuesday’s match will be held without spectators following the recent tightening of Corona regulations in Austria. In the dress rehearsal against Tirol (5: 0) 1,500 fans were allowed. “It’s a shame we had to say goodbye to the fans, terrible!” Said Marsch.
