Football champions Red Bull Salzburg need help from Austria Klagenfurt on the last Bundesliga matchday in order to be able to lift the plate towards the sky for the eleventh time en suite. The Bulls are relying on the support of Peter Pacult’s team.
The chance of the title is still there. We believe in it!” says Salzburg goalkeeper Timo Horn about the title thriller in the Bundesliga. Before the last match day, the defending champions are separated by two points from league leaders Sturm Graz. Which makes it clear that the Bulls not only need a win over LASK in the big finale on Sunday, but also support from Austria Klagenfurt. Only if Peter Pacult’s team scores in Graz can Salzburg’s dream of an eleventh Meisterteller en suite become reality. In order to further heat up the Carinthians, the Mozartstadters are considering sending one or two crates of beer to Lake Wörthersee as a “bribe”. “Not just a few,” laughs Horn. “I will definitely be involved in that. We hope that we will get support from Klagenfurt and that they will give it their all.” Defense chief Strahinja Pavlovic also wants to use his contacts. The Serb knows his compatriot Nikola Djoric and wants to call him. “But I hope even more for my Austrian colleagues,” laughs the 22-year-old. These are supposed to get their compatriots really excited so that Klagenfurt in the Mur metropolis becomes a party crasher. Playmaker Luka Sucic relies primarily on Peter Pacult. A few weeks ago he became a bull’s terror in his Violets’ 4-3 win. And now storms should also teach fear. “I know him and am sure that Klagenfurt will give 100 percent. “That’s why we have to do our homework,” he explains.Salzburg coach Cinel clarifiedInterim coach Onur Cinel is unimpressed by the tension in the title fight. The “Krone” wanted to know from the 38-year-old how great his belief in the title is. “I’m not thinking about it right now,” he said after the 5-1 win in Hartberg. “Sturm is deservedly leading the league, even if the referee’s decisions (in the 2-0 loss at Rapid, note) leave a strange aftertaste.” The goal was that his team now had a final on their hands. “So it’s a very nice situation.”
