Before the “final” of the Champions League against Atlético de Madrid next Wednesday, the champion of the Red Bull Salzburg soccer series should be on Saturday (from 4pm live and exclusively on Sky Sport Austria 3 – stream the game live with the SkyX Dream Pass) compete in Admira. 18 points separate the forward from the bottom diver, who faces the task of avoiding the sixth consecutive defeat. “The roles in this game are clearly assigned, we come in as favorites,” said Salzburg forward Patson Daka.
This was not only underscored by the 8-2 win over St. Pölten the week before, especially the performance in the 3-1 win over Lok Moscow in the Champions League, the “bulls” knew how to please. This also means that the possibility of first-class promotion to the knockout stage lives on. The biggest task at Maria Enzersdorf for coach Jesse Marsch’s team will be to shake off both the big role of favorite and the European highlight of the head on Wednesday.
“Now we have to regenerate well for the game in Admira, with fresh legs and a clear head. It will be a difficult match for us precisely because the situation at the table is very clear, ”emphasized Marsch. “We have to completely hide the table situation and fully concentrate on the game and our tasks. We did very well recently in St. Pölten, we want to take advantage of this performance again ”, said the American, who thanks to the return of Daka and Masaya Okugawa, who already played as wild cards or substitutes against Moscow. He has many options, especially on offense.
In view of her situation, Admira must expect a small miracle. The most recent 2: 3 against Hartberg appeared to be on track for a change, but the 2-0 lead after 19 minutes had turned into a 2: 3 late in the game. “I wonder if everyone gives their all every day for us to be successful,” infuriated sports director Franz Wohlfahrt. Goalkeeper Andreas Leitner promised to improve. “We are well prepared by the technical team every game day. But the players will have to cover our noses if we inexplicably leave the match schedule, “he said.
From the point of view of coach Damir Buric, “there is an opportunity to see what level we are at,” explained the Croatian. “We have to have a good day and make fewer mistakes.” Well-being awaited “a visible response to passion. Everyone has to put aside their personal sensibilities. It only works together. “
