All votes in “Talk & Tore”
Ferdinand Feldhofer (WAC coach) due to a gastrointestinal virus through a video:
… On the Europa League goal against Tottenham Hotspur: “We are very happy, we deserve it. Against the best of the best league, more is not possible. I already checked my email account today to see if anything had arrived. Dominik (Thalhammer) will still have my learning email so I’m looking forward to his email. “
… with perspective: “We want to spend the winter in all three competitions or create good starting positions for the spring and we are on the right track. If I’m still doing well, I’ll assume I’ll be sitting on the bench (Wednesday at the Cup). “
Dominik Thalhammer (LASK Coach):
… About Tottenham Hotspur: “It is a great challenge to play against this team. The quality of the player is incredible. You can trade five, six, seven players and the quality remains the same. A typical Mourinho style of play that holds zero, condenses the center, difficult to play, but something is possible. “
… On the duel with Red Bull Salzburg: “We lost yesterday, but it is a great motivation to do even more. We felt like we were getting closer to Salzburg, that motivates us, even if we lost yesterday. “
… On Johannes Eggestein: “We planned with him until the end of the season. A very good grip for us, I have rarely seen a player who plays with such tactical discipline, a great player with very clean technique “.
… About the newcomers to the storm: “It is talked about internally because our first pressing line has to work very hard and first we have to get it out of the seat. Since Raguz and Karamoko were also canceled, of course it is a problem. “
… On coaching training in Austria: “It’s about the coach’s own image, because the coach has an incredible impact on football across the country. That is why we fought very hard so that training had a high priority in the association. I am pleased that many coaches from Austria are making the leap abroad. There have been many professionalization measures in the training of trainers in recent years. The status that training should have is very important. Training is increasingly a reality. At Liefering, for example, we analyze a training course and divide it into all subareas. Then there are many situations in which reality is simulated, I am thinking about media training. I think a lot can be done and developed there and realistic principles implemented so that the training is of an extremely high standard. “
… on his time at ÖFB: “It was a great working environment at ÖFB (…) the idea of safety naturally plays an important role, you have a safe job. In the Bundesliga, I think the average life of a coach is 1.2 years. After a certain period of time, you can see where some want to develop, what is their life plan for the future. Something had to come for me. I really wanted to get to the Bundesliga and I had a good chance with LASK. Because there are people working there who think of visionaries, like President Siegmund Gruber and Jürgen Werner. That excited me. For such a project, for such an association, it is worth giving up a lot. You meet a lot of international experts, you learn a lot over time, you broaden your horizons and then you want to apply it in practice and now the time has come. “
… On his change as a coach: “I used to celebrate, times are up, I can be happy. In the early days of my coaching career, I was very excited, also regarding the referees, I got used to it. It is not a good strategy, it is important as a coach to try to have everything under control, a high focus is very important ”.
… On women’s and men’s football: “There is not a big difference in the way we work. We were also able to work at a very high and professional level for the women’s team. The pace and dynamics, of course, are not that high. If there are distinctive features, it is that for women’s teams, the social idea is paramount. In men’s soccer, winning and winning is very dominant. But even now I have a team that is very values-oriented and grounded. Therefore, the difference in approach and way of working is not so great. “
… About LASK: “LASK is characterized by the fact that the players feel comfortable and enjoy playing at the club. LASK thinks strategically in the medium and long term and wants to build the management structure for the coming years. The Cup is a big goal for us, we have to focus correctly, to focus on the championship after the Europa League, I hope that against Elektra on Wednesday as well. “
Gerhard Struber (New York Red Bulls coach):
… on WAC: “Today I wanted to personally congratulate Ferdinand Feldhofer on this great success. We headed a lot of things in the right direction back then and he kept the team on the right track, they are consistently performing, performing over and over again at a very high level. Team spirit and spirit is something special at WAC. Whenever I have time, I watch the WAC. “
… On Villarreal, Salzburg’s rival in the Europa League: “A first-rate Spanish club that knows how to defend and at the same time decide through individual class matches. I guess Salzburg will play at eye level in this game and if they add a bit of luck they can beat their opponents, it will be a great challenge. “
… on the type of game in MLS: “It’s very South American, there are very resourceful players in MLS, the Americans put athletics on the line from the physical side.”
… On his reasons for going to New York: “It is the opportunity to work towards great goals, the project is very ambitious. The goals are high, that’s standard in the Red Bull world. That was what attracted me to moving to New York. The ambitions that I experienced in discussions with managers in New York and personal development are a great opportunity for me. I want to take advantage of these opportunities that are not obtained as often in life. “
… on MLS rules: “It’s a ‘rules jungle’, but at the same time, when you work in MLS, you can exert a lot of influence as a coach. Because other teams have the same rules, the salary cap, for example. In terms of team strength, everyone is on a similar level. With a team of coaches you can have a big impact. That was one of the reasons I took this step. “
… On courage and authenticity: “I think I am a brave person, I always have been, I also expect that from my guys in the field, I trust myself to do many things, I look closely at things. Before I moved to Barnsley, I knew what I was getting into. England allowed me to mature personally, at a much faster rate than would have been possible in Austria. Success has also proved me right. I am a very authentic coach. If we have something to celebrate, we celebrate it. When you put a lot of energy into it and achieve success, it’s time to celebrate. Staying in the league with Barnsley in particular was a very emotional time. “
… On Salzburg sporting director Christoph Freund: “We know each other well and Christoph can say a lot. We play football together for the Salzburg national team. We had good times together in the world of football and outside of it. It is always a point of contact for me. We know what we can have from each other. “
… on possible transfers between Salzburg and New York: “You have to see what makes sense, at the end of the day it has to be a situation where everyone involved wins, including the player. If you don’t have a lot of playing time in Salzburg and we like New York can offer a platform to take the next step, then it makes sense. There could be one or the other who would like to use this. Daniel Royer has written a very good success story, he has a good influence on the team, I guess he will stay and play an important role in the team. “
… On the Austrian championship: “I am happy when the league is exciting. LASK, Sturm and Rapid do a good job. It’s gotten a little tighter, the league needs that to keep the excitement going and it’s unclear from the get-go if Red Bull will do it. In the end, I think Red Bull will win it because of the quality of the squad. LASK will have a say for a long time and perhaps Sturm Graz too. Christian Ilzer is doing a steady job and has put Sturm on the right track. The WAC will play a role in the championship in the coming weeks and months and will land there again as in previous years. “
Christoph Freund (FC Red Bull Salzburg Sporting Director):
… On a single player on Gerhard Struber: “He had an unusual run for an Austrian coach, they didn’t give him anything. It is impressive how he has developed as a coach and personality, he has also suffered setbacks, he never gave up, he goes his own way. I have known him for a long time, he represents the realistic attitude and continuity. He knows our players very well, how they train, which goes very well with the way they play football. We’ll see what the next few weeks will bring, he’s certainly not disinterested in one or the other of our players. “
