Salzburg cheers after 4: 0: a victory that takes pressure off your shoulders!
After a long negative run, Red Bull Salzburg returned to the road to success with an impressive 4-0 home win against Hartberg. Coach Pepijn Lijnders emphasized that this victory was essential to take the pressure off the team. Attacker Nicolás Capaldo, who scored two goals, explained the importance of the game and the need to keep the connection to the master group. Despite the clear result, the criticism of the team does not fail to materialize, since the second half in particular revealed weaknesses that Lijnders and sports director Rouven Schröder could not ignore. "We have lost too many simple balls," said Lijnders about the defensive problems, which were also visible at the missed penalty from Oscar Gloukh. After all, he was able to rehabilitate with his own goal and thus ensured a certain satisfaction after the game.
In the Champions League, however, the situation for the Salzburg is critical. Karim Konate, which has been right for years, has remained far behind his possibilities with only two leagers this season. So the fans wonder: "Who can shoot the gates for Salzburg?" While the team continues to look for a "salvation bringer", the pressure before the upcoming duel against Feyenoord in Rotterdam is getting bigger. The coach Lijnders relies on the players to be able to enter the player and admonishes them for concentration. The statistics are alarming: compared to the last season, the offensive power has noticeably decreased, and defensively are also under pressure because the number of goals in the game has risen. This currently only leaves the bulls in fourth place in their Champions League group.
With great challenges and a clear expectation in the back, Lijnders faces a critical phase of his coaching career. After the recent success in the Bundesliga, it remains to be seen whether the team can create the turn in the Champions League. Sizzling like ever are the highlights, but time is pushing. The next chance to pull the helm around is already waiting in Rotterdam, but without a solid offensive performance and a stable defensive game, the dream of the international heights could soon burst, as Salzburg24 reports.
