Salzburg and the whistle from the last hole (90minuten.at)

FC Red Bull Salzburg – TSV Egger Glas Hartberg 3:2 (1:1)
Referee: Achim Untergasser

Gerhard Struber (coach FC Red Bull Salzburg):
…about the victory: “It makes us happy that we got these three points. We knew it would be a difficult game for us because Hartberg is flowing at the moment. We haven’t always had the access we imagined. In the end, we were dealing with standard situations today, so we have to improve and become stable. We started the game well and had a lot of good moments, especially at the start of the second half. We repeatedly couldn’t fully control the momentum because we didn’t take advantage of the opportunities. At the moment, due to our situation, it is not as easy to dominate the games as we would like. Nevertheless, we managed to score a three-pointer and it was good for all of us because we knew how to get out of the last hole.”

…about the current training situation: “I have had five players available during the international break for the last 14 days. Because of our situation, it’s not that easy to train with this personnel situation.”

…about a possible appearance by Andreas Ulmer in the upcoming Champions League game: “Hope dies last. We believe that Andi will work out. We are working on it closely and with a lot of energy. If it doesn’t work out, we’ll think of something.”

Markus Schopp (Trainer TSV Egger Glas Hartberg):
…about the defeat: “It was another good game for us and we will leave the field as losers again against Salzburg. We lost control of the game for a few moments, that was just before half-time and just after half-time. We are missing the final step to structure the game against such an opponent with even more clarity so that the opponent can no longer come back. Key moments in the first half were Donis’ injury and it has to be 2-0. “

…on the reasons for the defeat: “We wasted it today because we didn’t manage to be more specific with our good possession of the ball. We had strong phases where we had to crush the opponent and punish them with more goals. We were the better team in terms of play and failed to convert these moments into goals and then realized what it means to play against such an opponent with this quality.”

…about the development of TSV Hartberg: “We are developing fantastically. We’ve been looking forward to this game because we want to show what we can do against teams like these. The boys are excited about it.”
