The alarm bells are ringing at the tail light of the WSG Tirol, but experienced Stefan Maierhofer misses the determination on the pitch: “Nice and nice in the cabin is of no use.”
The title fight has once again become a clear Salzburg thing, the situation at the end of the table two rounds before the end is completely different. The worst cards were promoted by WSG Tirol after the 0-1 loss to Altach. Not all professionals at the bottom of the table seem to have grown the pressure and drama of the relegation battle, as the comments after the final whistle suggest. “For some players, I have to question whether they have made the relegation battle,” criticized ex-striker Stefan Maierhofer in the “Sky” interview. “It’s body language. When our trainer in his late 40s shows more energy and passion with the plaster outside than some players.
The addressed Thomas Silberberger, who continues to walk on crutches four weeks after his lower leg injury, also missed the determination on the field. “Some players were fed up,” was his first analysis. “They got it for sure. But they don’t have the strength to flip the switch and go to war. That is now a matter of the head. ”The four relegation candidates still have it in their own hands. For Maierhofer, the route is clear:“ We have to act accordingly. Nice and nice in the cabin, that doesn’t work. “
Two endgames for the Tyroleans
The Tyroleans compete in Mattersburg on Tuesday (8.30 p.m., live sky) and could leave the Red Lantern in Burgenland with a win. Because the goal difference would currently no longer be decisive with a difference of three points, because Mattersburg is ranked back due to the non-rounding in the division of points after the basic round in the event of a tie. WSG trainer Thomas Silberberger also knows this: “If we win there, we will overtake Mattersburg and the pressure will shift somewhere else.” In the final round next Saturday, the WSG then receives the Admira. “There will be two finals, we just have to be aware of that,” emphasized Silberberger. “We have it in our own hands, with two wins we stay in it. I have never relegated as a coach and I will never relegate. ”
After the surprising success at Austria, St. Pölten has had the best cards since Saturday. “There is still a lot to do before the league remains, we cannot let go now,” said coach Robert Ibertsberger. He is warned by the developments in the 30th round: “On the one hand we are very close to the league, on the other hand it can look very different again after the next round. Mattersburg may have felt safer and is now fully in the raffle again. “The Burgenlanders gave the chance of early relegation, coach Franz Ponweiser does not believe that his team will be put off the track:” We have already proven that we have the virtues for the relegation battle and we will knock them out. “
