After the 2-2 draw against Lok Moscow at the start of the Champions League last week, Salzburg will face an even bigger hurdle next Tuesday: the match against Atlético de Madrid will likely be a gigantic task.
Faced with one of the best European teams in recent years, Salzburg want to surprise again, although this time they have to renounce the support of the fans, because only the players, coaches and employees of the club can come to Madrid this year. But Salzburg want to challenge the greats again.
At Atlético de Madrid, a rival to Salzburg awaits who has been one thing above all in recent years: successful. Atlético won three Europa League titles and Madrid reached the Champions League final twice. “All of us players know Atlético and they all know that he is very robust in duels and that he gets into it with great intensity. But if we attack, we will attack correctly and maybe we can enter even more aggressively tomorrow, ”said Salzburg captain Andreas Ulmer.
March: Atlético defense particularly strong
“Atlético defend incredibly well and have a lot of experienced players. I don’t think they have as much respect for us as they did for the game against Bayern. We need to understand early on whether they are defending deeper or higher. The guys have to understand our plan and be prepared for a superior performance at all times, ”agrees coach Jesse Marsch about Tuesday’s game.
Atlético: Clear defeat against Bayern without signs
Atlético’s 0: 4 early in the group stage against Bayern Munich only makes the Spaniards more dangerous up to a point. “The outcome of a previous game doesn’t matter, they are always dangerous,” says Ulmer respectfully.
Son of the coach, great Atlético fan
The Spanish also have a huge fan in the Marsch family. Son Maddox didn’t have to set up his TV in the garage, as announced after the Jesse Marsch giveaway. “He was wearing the Atlético shirt for the weekend and I told him he had to take it off now. It was his birthday and he will not receive a new Atlético jersey, ”smiles Jesse Marsch.
If the coach’s son has his way, Salzburg should not bring home any belated birthday gifts, but rather their first Champions League group stage win.
