Salzburg struggles with a false start: “It’s just shit”

New coach, new striker, new captain, new (old) goalkeeper – but the dilemma is still the same. Salzburg If there is a further crisis, it also comes under Thomas lets not on the way. With the 1: 2 after extension in the Cup quarter-finals against the LASK, the false start is perfect. “It’s just shit,” brought a frustrated one Mads Bidstrup The situation after the defeat to the point.

The Dane is the new captain of Salzburg, who actually seemed on the right track in half time. Many pressing moments, a lot of possession of the ball – it was a dominant appearance. Tormann had behind Alexander Schlager – He is also number one again under Letsch – hardly anything to do. With the exception of Gloukh’s hit, however, not much went forward. Newcomer Karim Onisiwo Couldn’t set an accents, looked (still) like a foreign body.

The record of neo-trainer Thomas Letsch reads modestly: 2 test games (Bavaria and Midtjylland), 2 CL games (Real and Atletico), 1 cup game (LASK) – all lost. “We didn’t make the second goal,” the coach, who had set two titles as the goal, was annoyed. “We can write one of them now,” was the frustration with him too, “the disappointment is great.”

Salzburg needs the turnaround, and that quickly. The league starts against Klagenfurt at the weekend. Letsch: “We have to play better in all areas.” He also knows that a victory at Lake Wörthersee is mandatory, if you still want to catch up with the ten-point deficit on Leader Sturm. “We have no time for patience,” said Bidstrup. His trainer sees it similarly that the cup-off makes his rescue operation after the messed up autumn of Salzburg: “It is clear to everyone that it is not possible overnight. And with a win here, a lot would of course be easier, but football is not a dream concert. ”The pressure on him has increased. “We cannot expect patience, we are in the professional football business. It’s about entering results. We need results. ”

The fact is that the winner in the ÖFB Cup is not called Salzburg or Sturm for the first time since 2013.
