Salzburg under pressure: Victory against Brest is mandatory for ascent!

On Tuesday, Red Bull Salzburg has a decisive game in the football Champions League. The opponent in the home game is Stade Brest, and a victory is almost essential for Salzburg to continue to have realistic chances of promotion. Trainer Pepijn Lijnders also said: "Printing is a privilege." This shows that the team does not shy away from the challenge, but sees it as an incentive.

Salzburg has brought itself into a difficult situation after the opening game against Sparta Prague was lost 0: 3. Lijnders emphasizes that the team should believe in its skills and that the Champions League should perceive as valuable experience. "We don't feel fear," he assured.

The upcoming challenges

In the second half of the new league aphabas, opponents from world rank like Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid are waiting for the Salzburg. Even if Stade Brest recently weakened, the Bretons should not be underestimated because they already caused surprises this season. They won their opening game in the Champions League against Sturm Graz 2-1, but their average performance in the league is reflected in 13th place in the table.

The Salzburgers are on a positive way after they were able to celebrate two victories in a row in the last games-a 4-0 in the ÖFB Cup and a 2-0 in the league. "We need all-in performance," Lijnders demands from his team, while he underlines the need for strong commitment in the upcoming fight. Midfielder Mads Bidstrup could be on the pitch in his first game after a long illness, but there are concerns about his fitness -related resilience.

Brest’s difficulties and Lijnders' tactics

Brest, which has not yet been given under coach Eric Roy, had recently suffered a bitter 0: 3 defeat in Auxerre. Roy made aware of his team's shortcomings and demanded improvements in the coming games. "Salzburg lives in another football world," he also warned of the danger of the Salzburg game. The strength of the Austrians is in extreme pressing, which they combine with a great urge to move forward.

Lijnders, on the other hand, plans to set his team not only on the opposing line -up, but also to the intensity of the game. A high flexibility in the defensive strategy is expected to withstand Breast's waves of attack. "We have to respect them, but at the same time we look forward to causing them problems," he added. Important players like Leandro Morgalla will be in the starting eleven, who hopes for a determined performance in particular.

Overall, the game is an intensive test for the Salzburg, which could be crucial for the further course in the Champions League. The upcoming tasks in the next few weeks will require the team maximum concentration and performance. More details on these important encounters can be found in a detailed report www.puls24.at .
