TSV Prolactal Hartberg – FC Red Bull Salzburg 0: 6 (0: 4)
Referee: Julian Weinberger

Markus Schopp (Trainer TSV Prolactal Hartberg):
… About the game: “The first 25 minutes were not suitable for the Bundesliga. You have to honestly say that. We completely missed the basic virtues, so we don’t need to talk about any tactical element, but if you go into duels and lose everyone, that’s just not enough. For a few other things, I have to put my shoe on, that’s clear too. After the 25th minute the game was actually over, so there are a few things to be very critical of. Last Wednesday we took a huge step forward, today we took a step back. The truth lies somewhere in between. “

… When asked whether the victory against the LASK led to too high an elation: “Maybe. Yes, I don’t want to rule that out. And not just with the players, but also with us in the coaching team. Just put things in the right place. We just have to question it critically. ”

… before the game about the contract negotiations: “We know where the club comes from. We know what great opportunities we have worked out over the past few years – this speaks not only for the coaching team and the team, but above all for the people who work all around. The question is where you want to go. Of course, every trainer has his ideas and ideas. And the question is whether the environment enables you to continue this development. There are very specific approaches for me that are just very important to me. And the Erich knows that, Hartberg knows that. Accordingly, there is an exchange, but a decision has not yet been made. Because I think that’s a very important decision for me. “

Rene Swete (TSV Prolactal Hartberg):
… When asked if he would have preferred to go home after eleven minutes: “It was actually eight minutes after the 2-0. After seeing how we showed our duel behavior. And there comes a 6-0 against the best team in Austria. Maybe a few after the LASK game were too euphoric that less is possible. Then it just comes out. “

Rajko Rep (TSV Prolactal Hartberg):
… About the game: “We were dead after ten minutes and we were also a bit lucky in the first half that it was only 0: 4. Another goal in the second half and that is very difficult for the head. ”

Michael Huber (TSV Prolactal Hartberg):
… about the game: “It was our idea that we try to solve it in a playful way. We succeeded very well against the LASK, and we still succeeded partially today. But there were still too many slight mistakes in the ball and Salzburg took advantage of it freezing cold. ”

Erich Korherr (Chairman TSV Prolactal Hartberg) before the game in a video contribution:
… About the games in the Meister-PlayOff without spectators: “We all prepared for highlight games with a sold-out house. It is of course a very, very bad thing, you have to say that, because it was amazing for the region and everyone was happy. The pre-sale for the play-off was very strong. “

… About the financial loss as a result: “It is certainly in the six-figure range what we only lose when playing games. Unfortunately, we can no longer make up for that, unfortunately it is so. “

… about his additional tasks for the club at the moment: “I have now actually taken over the entire handling of the match report with the referees, with the press as far as the coach and the players are concerned, because I am the only one of the officials who works in the red group is. It’s difficult. Because it is no secret that if one of the red groups falls ill, the problem is that the rest are in quarantine at home. And we have volunteers and of course they can’t stay away from their jobs. On the whole, I can already work from home, which is why we decided to do it that way. ”

… About the negotiations with trainer Markus Schopp: “We are in negotiations. Of course, some infrastructure improvements are required, and the team must stay together accordingly. And I think we can already believe that Markus Schopp may also be our trainer next year. ”

… About the short-time working of the players: “We don’t have that much training because of the many games at the moment and there are always recovery phases inside. And you don’t get 20 hours a week – so short-time work is possible. “

Jesse Marsch (FC Red Bull Salzburg coach):
… about Patson Daka and his somersault celebration: “Yes, this flip is not allowed. But he has no respect for the coach and that’s how he does it. No, that’s a joke (laughs). But we said that we need him and he shouldn’t hurt himself with this flip. Patson played very well, it was important for the team. ”

… About the game: “The boys were ready. That was great. The attitude on the pitch, the communication, the performance – it was a good day for us. ”

… about the competition failing: “A good day for us. But we have more to do. It is important that we stay with the same mentality and that every player is ready for every situation. It fits very well at the moment. “

… about his armband “Black Lives Matter”, which he wore during the game: “For me as an American, that’s very important. It is a big issue in our country now. But also here as the coach of this team. We have a lot of boys from Africa and everywhere. We are a big family and at this moment I feel that it is important that we all understand that this issue is important all over the world and also for our team. ”

… About the topic of racism: “Racism is always an issue in America and also in football. We saw that. Perhaps it was our fault as white, privileged people that we didn’t do enough. It is now our time to help. We cannot say that we have tolerance and so, that is not enough now. We have to give full support and make sure that there is great responsibility for one another. ”

Noah Okafor (FC Red Bull Salzburg):
… about the game: “You can be very satisfied. You don’t score six goals in every game. We made a lot of plans, started the game very well and scored three goals in the first 15 minutes. Then we slowed down a bit before half-time. We wanted to play again. In the end, it’s a very, very good team effort. ”

… About his performance: “In the end, I also scored the goal, the sixth. I’m very, very happy about that, but also about the three points. I started very well after the Corona break. But there is more. I am not yet at the level I can or would like to be at. I still have to work very hard on myself. I know what i can do. It means staying humble, working hard every day. And then I think it will be very good in the next few months. “

… About the fact that the competition has failed: “It is important to look at us. No matter how many points we are in front, we look at ourselves, play our game and then we look after the eight remaining games. “

Patson Daka (FC Red Bull Salzburg):
… About the game and when asked whether it was easy: “It just looked simple, but it wasn’t that easy. It’s about seizing the opportunities and getting started well. And that gave us a good direction. “

… About his statement with the cheers: “We are together in this story. It affects us all and that’s why we just want to support people who are affected by it. ”

… about his somersault cheer: “I am a little afraid of Jesse Marsch because he told me that I should rather leave the somersault. But it just reminds me of my friends back home in Zambia, because I always celebrated the goal and that’s why I try to enjoy it. ”

… about the duel with Shon Weissman for the lead in the list of goalscorers: “I just try to hold on to myself, measure myself and just want to score goals.”

Christoph Freund (sports director FC Red Bull Salzburg) before the game:
… When asked whether someone from Dortmund had contacted Jesse Marsch with Salzburg or had contact: “From BVB no. With Erling (Haaland, note) I have written again and again, even in the last few days, how he is doing. But not otherwise. It is also nice when it is rumored that a coach is being traded by us in such a large club. But nobody has spoken to Jesse yet. ”

… About the fact that Salzburg coaches are always in demand in Germany: “That confirms to us that we have good coaches with us and that we counted on good coaches. Marco Rose wasn’t that big of a name before. An Adi Hütter also does an outstanding job. Oliver Glasner was our assistant coach. And yes, now Jesse has made a good name for itself. So I think it’s a cool story – just like the players. “

… When asked under what circumstances Marsch could leave the club in summer: “This is currently not an issue for us. Jesse has signed a long-term contract with us and the decision is clearly up to us. ”

… when asked whether Marsch has an exit clause: “No.”

… About the plans for Europe: “We can only speculate, like others, how exactly it will go on, whether there will be qualifying games and when it will continue. For us, the only thing that is important in the next four weeks is full concentration and full focus on the championship. We absolutely want to be champions and if we become champions, then I think we also have a good starting position that we will again be there internationally in autumn next year. ”

… about the chances that Corona can keep the team together: “We have a lot of young players with us who are sure to and want to take the next step, here in Salzburg too. And we’re going to grind them properly – I’m convinced of that. The potential in this team is again very, very large and I would not be sad if we could start the next season with the team that is now together, or without major bloodletting. We had a very, very big bloodletting last year, were able to generate extremely good transfer income, played the Champions League – so we do not need transfers. So it would be a good story if we started the new season in a similar way to the squad now. ”

… When asked whether there are currently fewer player requests than normal: “Yes, of course. It is much quieter. Most clubs don’t know exactly what to do next. The season has now shifted anyway. So it’s quieter, but you’ll see what happens in the next few weeks. But basically I think it will stay a little bit calmer. “

Marc Janko (Sky Expert):
… About Patson Daka’s somersault: “His cheering scenes are also very impressive. If I had done that back then, I would have fallen to the ground like a potato sack. ”

… Before the game about the likelihood of Markus Schopp staying in Hartberg: “I think he’s looking for a new challenge. What you read between the lines and he always tries to avoid the questions with skill. He is now ready for the next step. And Hartberg – with all due respect for the club and the environment – simply cannot offer him the opportunities that he is already ready to implement. And that’s why, I think, the signs point to separation. “

Alfred Tatar (Sky Expert):
… In the middle of the game about Hartberg’s performance: “You have fought duels that you simply cannot deny. There was no punch behind it, it was just pure fear. And when you go into a game like this, you shouldn’t be surprised if you are already full after ten minutes. ”

… Before the game about the chances of Markus Schopp staying in Hartberg: “I will make a comparison: if you walk into a room that is 2.20 meters at 1.90 meters and you have no idea that you are growing. And you wash and you grow. And at some point you hit the bulb because the blanket is there. What are you going to do? Leave the room and go to a room that is higher. “
