ÖFB-U21: New team boss Perchtold without Schöller and Göschl in Marbella!

In the run-up to the highly expected training camp of the U21 national team in Marbella, the new team boss Peter Perchtold has to do without two important players: central defender Jakob Schöller and goalkeeper Benjamin Göschl. Schöller, who recently could not play in the UEFA Conference League, was canceled due to injury. Göschl, which was available as a backup in the European Cup, has no commitment in the Bundesliga. Keeper Juri Kirchmayr from the ASK Voitsberg and defender Tobias Gruber from Wolfsberger AC were nominated as additions, as it was on laola1.at

Under the direction of Perchtold, the team will now meet in Spain to complete intensive training sessions and prepare for the friendly international match against Switzerland on March 21 at 6:00 p.m. The new coach emphasized the importance of getting to know each other during the course and conveying the game ideas. "The last few days have been labor -intensive, but now the anticipation is increasing to the coming days," said Perchtold, making it clear that the focus will not only be at stake, but also on the daily training sessions and video analyzes, such as 12termann.at reported.

squad and challenges

The squad for the course mainly consists of players from the years 2004 and 2005, although younger talents were deliberately not taken into account to help the older U19 team in the European Championship qualification. "We travel to Spain with a powerful group. They are talented boys, and I'm really happy to work with them," said Perchtold confidently. A total of nine players are in the current squad who have already gained experience in the U21 national team and will do everything they can to leave a strong impression.

While the team is training in Marbella, all eyes are on the first game in which the new ideas of the coaching team will test themselves. The pressure is great, but the will to develop your own way of playing and internalize the identity -strong elements of Austrian football is also enormous.
