“It’s a great experience for all of us to compete with the best in the world,” said LASK goalkeeper Alexander Schlager after the 3-0 draw in the Europa League opener against Tottenham. Yesterday at 6:05 pm, the athletes landed at Hörsching airport. He then went directly to Pasching to perform the following crown tests. The Bundesliga continues on Sunday against St. Pölten (2.30pm).
“You have to admit with envy that Tottenham has the highest individual quality,” coach Dominik Thalhammer said. A year and a half ago, Londoners played in the Champions League final (0-2 against Liverpool), “now they are even better for me.” However, LASK managed to keep the game open after the break. “If you want to think of a sensation, everything has to fit.” Not everything fit. José Mourinho still received praise. “LASK is very well organized, the coach knows how to play.”
Rasgrad is not a problem
St. Pölten is a smaller caliber. Those from Lower Austria were last in the Bundesliga, but just as cold when it came to punishing the mistakes of their opponents. “It’s an important game for us to be on top,” Thalhammer said. “We put all our energy into this game.” The Europa League home game against Razgrad on Thursday is irrelevant, with the exception of one perspective: “The teams we score against are yet to come.” This also applies to Rapid after 1: 2 against Arsenal. The duel between the Europa League starters and the WAC (1-1 against CSKA Moscow) will take place on Sunday.
