FC Red Bull Salzburg – SK Rapid Wien 4:2 (1:0)
Referee: Alexander Harkam
Jesse Marsch (Trainer FC Red Bull Salzburg):
… after the game: “A dominant performance from start to finish. Very confident. We could have scored more goals. “
… about the table: “The table is not that important to me at the moment. But the feeling that we are playing so well against one of the best opponents in our league has more meaning for us. “
… when asked about the doping bans of Mohamed Camara and Sekou Koita: “It’s not ideal for us, but we expected it a little and we still have a good squad.”
… When asked about the rumor Borussia Mönchengladbach: “I haven’t heard from Gladbach and I want to make it very clear that my focus is 100 percent on the team here. The door is closed. I work here in Salzburg – period. Until the end of the season I will certainly not have any contact with any other club. “
Patson Daka (FC Red Bull Salzburg):
… after the game: “The key today was team performance. The templates I got today were really great. That’s the only way I could score the three goals and especially because Mergim (Berisha) served me the balls like that. “
… about his performance: “It was the plan that I run until I am tired and then the next player comes in and scores, just like it was with Karim Adeyemi.”
Christoph Freund (Sports Director FC Red Bull Salzburg) at halftime:
… about the first half: “A real top game.”
… When asked about the doping bans of Mohamed Camara and Sekou Koita: “We have to accept it. It is of course bitter at this important stage. The only thing that speaks against the guys is that they took this drug. The three months will pass and then they will be back. But it’s also an opportunity for other guys. But of course we are missing two very important players who were also in top form. We don’t need to talk about that. “
… When asked about the rumor Jesse Marsch and Borussia Mönchengladbach: “The marmot greets every year. Our coaches are always named when there are vacancies anywhere in the German Bundesliga. It speaks for our trainers. But it’s currently not an issue for us and Jesse. “
Dietmar Kühbauer (trainer SK Rapid Vienna):
… About the game: “We definitely couldn’t hold the center in the first half. We had problems there. We didn’t defend the balls well behind the defense either. We had problems defending that today. So it was only a matter of time before a goal happened. We then switched to the break, but nothing has changed much. Salzburg played a good game. We didn’t play it that way. Today we were always a tad too late. You can’t do that against Salzburg because they just have good footballers and incredible speed. (…) You were far better than us today. Salzburg was the deserved winner – point. “
… When asked about the narrow offside goal from Taxi Fountas: “I would always decide these decisions for the striker – of course, because I’m now Rapid’s coach. If this goal had fallen, it could have looked different. But it has been whistled and so we don’t even have to discuss it. “
… before the game: “Today you have to have courage and go in with passion and we really have to believe in victory. If you just try to be there again, it will be too little. “
Richard Strebinger (SK Rapid Wien):
… When asked why it was a clear matter for Salzburg today: “Because they were simply better today. There were a few things. We didn’t play with the ball what we’ve shown in phases over the past few weeks. Of course, Salzburg are a good pressing team, but I do believe that there is more in us and that we can do better. With the ball, Salzburg did really well today. You have to say that. “
… When asked whether you thought that you were closer to Salzburg: “If you want to beat Salzburg, then we have to use 100 percent of our capabilities. If you don’t bring that onto the pitch, it will be very difficult against Salzburg. “
Alfred Tatar (Sky Expert):
… after the game: “A demonstration on the part of Salzburg as far as the offensive game is concerned. Rapid was confronted with facts that Rapid could not handle. The offensive game of Salzburg overwhelmed the defensive game of Rapid. Under these circumstances the 4-2 is still a result that flatters Rapid. “
… about Rapid: “Today it was bad.”
… On the verdict on the doping bans with Mohamed Camara and Sekou Koita: “I was amazed at how long UEFA took to reach this verdict. The suspension didn’t surprise me, however, as UEFA has a strict anti-doping policy. Three months are more likely to be in the lower range. “
… About the national team debate at Kara: “As a footballer, I want to play in a team that has more chances to achieve something than another with fewer chances. The Austrian national team is simply better than the Turkish. “
Andreas Herzog (Sky Expert):
… after the game: “A big statement from Salzburg. It was absolutely impressive. You can always say an offside goal or a foul before you conceded, but that’s a difference over 90 minutes. I wouldn’t have thought that. “
… before the game: “Today we will see whether Rapid can really play for the championship title. If they are at eye level today, then they can rest assured that they will be able to play for the championship title right through to the end. “
… When asked how he feels about the national team at Ercan Kara: “I’m the wrong person to talk to. I’m a bit allergic to this subject. I think it’s unfair with these dual citizenships, because the Tyrolean or the Viennese cannot say that they play for either the Tyrolean or the Viennese selection. I can play for Turkey, I can play for Croatia, I could play for Austria – but grow up in Austria – sooner or later you have to declare yourself. This is my opinion.”
