At SKN St. Pölten, the alarm bells are ringing after four losses in the last five games, the most recent at the start of the qualifying group against Admira.
The “Wolves” are now tied on points with the table bottom in fourth place in the qualifying group, the defeat against the Südstadt team is well deserved, says SKN coach Robert Ibertsberger.
“We did not create enough opportunities ourselves. So Admira is to be congratulated for deserving the victory,” said the SKN coach after the match on “Sky”.
“Now we know which way it is going”
Ibertsberger complained that his team did not find the right solutions for his way of playing in Südstadt. “Today we saw that we have our problems against short opponents and we are careless with our passing game. Then you lose the balls. In the second half it was more difficult against a very short opponent, which Admira played on the scorecard.”
While it looked like St. Pölten could play a role in the championship group fight in the first half of the season, the “Wolves” find themselves in the middle of a relegation battle nine days before the end of the season. “Now we know in which direction we are headed and it is very clear that we must roll up our sleeves. We are there where we did not want to be,” Ibertsberger said.
It is normal that, after the last weeks and months, the trainer has also become the center of critical appraisal. “In general, you always have to talk about it after games like this. Of course, I approach the talks openly and we have to discuss how we have to go to the next round,” says Ibertsberger.
“We want to continue like this”
In any case, her Admira counterpart Damir Buric has more reason to be happy. Already on the first day of the qualifying group, Admira found a connection with the rest of the field.
“It was exciting to see what it means for a team like us that we can take home three points. It was a really exciting game,” Buric said. His team played well and found a decent amount of opportunities to score, even if the passing game was not correct in the second half.
“I’m happy that the team won again and played again to zero. We changed a few things and that was really good and then we had access to the game again. We are looking forward to the next game,” Buric said fiercely. .
Sebastian Bauer, who scored his first Bundesliga goal in his 54th Bundesliga game after a mistake by SKN goalkeeper Riegler, also has particular reasons to be happy.
“The victory was not so special, even if it was the first goal. The main thing is that we have all three points. We need every point, every victory. Now we have started and this is how we want to continue.” said the central defender his individual milestone.
“We were very present in the duels, we scored a goal, we were stable at the back and we did not allow anything, this is how we took the victory,” said Bauer, assessing the performance of his team.
While Admira hosts SV Ried in the next round, SKN St. Pölten has to go to Altach.
