Shortly before the start of spring, Salzburg still has room for improvement: the last test against the Polish league leaders ended 0-0. Coach Gerhard Struber wants a new central defender.
Is Master Salzburg ready for the start of spring next Friday in the Cup quarter-finals at LASK? This question cannot be answered clearly after the 0-0 draw in the last preseason friendly against Poland’s leader Slask Wroclaw. The Bulls managed to push the Breslau team into the final third, especially in the first 30 minutes. In addition, the home team only came into trouble as the game progressed, and if rarely. Up front, the Mozartstadt team at the Taxham training center too often missed the last pass and the last punch. So just one hand was enough to count compelling chances for the Bulls. Coach Gerhard Struber wasn’t completely satisfied either. “We know that we still have to improve,” he emphasized to the “Krone” after the game. Nevertheless, we are on the right track. “We have made important steps in the last few weeks.” Claims for starting eleven The coach was happy about Maurits Kjaergaard’s comeback. The Dane was on the pitch for the first time since November 1st. A shoulder injury had previously kept him out of action for a long time. Despite the great competition in midfield, the 20-year-old was equally confident. “I will fight for my place and want to play every game.” For the start, which also includes the league hit at home against Sturm (February 9th), Kjaergaard said he was equally confident of victory. “We are the best team in Austria.”Fix: The Bulls want to sign a central defender before the transfer deadline (February 6th). “I hope that we can take action in the coming days,” emphasizes the coach. At least that can be answered clearly.
