Point of View: Red Bull Salzburg doesn’t even need to shine

Austrian coach Peter Stöger’s remarks after leaving the ÖFB Cup for soccer champion Red Bull Salzburg were something of an admission of the anticipated resignation. Because Stöger, whose troops were mostly busy with defensive work against the police without any chance, said he generally agreed with what his team had shown. It was good. This analysis can only mean that Austria’s expectations must have been extremely low even before the start. If Stöger is satisfied with the fact that his team only chases Salzburgs for long periods of the game. Perhaps a major Viennese club that is the Austrian Cup record winner should be a bit upset that they couldn’t even upset the champions. The Bulls didn’t even have to shine properly in their fourth straight win in a competitive game without conceding a goal. It was enough for the running team to stay compact and avoid making mistakes defensively. After the first four games in 2021, it seems that Salzburg cannot lose anymore, they lead 1-0. That also seems to take away the courage of opponents.
