Salzburg's coach Letsch: We have to finally end the crisis!

Red Bull Salzburg is in a serious crisis. Coach Thomas Letsch has yet to win in his first four games with the team. Despite this unfortunate outcome, Letsch is optimistic and relies on mental strength to solve the blockage. “If we stick together, we can turn things around,” explains the 56-year-old, who calls on his players to throw off the burden of failure. Key player Mads Bidstrup, who has been appointed the new captain, will also lead the team with fresh energy and role model function. Bidstrup himself sees the captaincy as a great honor and is ready to give everything for the team's success, as he emphasized in an interview. However, Salzburg will still be without eight injured players, including the ailing Oscar Gloukh, who could return in early March, according to reports oe24.at.

The starting position for the upcoming game against WSG Tirol on Saturday is anything but ideal. Salzburg are only in fifth place after 17 match days, ten points behind league leaders Sturm Graz. The injury problem is exacerbated by the departures in the winter, as also by krone.at was reported. Several players such as Stefan Bajcetic and Lucas Gourna-Douath had to leave the team, while the injury list is getting longer and longer. Takumu Kawamura will be out for at least six weeks after undergoing surgery on his collarbone. In this tense situation, a win against WSG Tirol is essential to get the team back on the road to success.
