SK Sturm loses embarrassingly 0:3 in Wolfsberg – What’s wrong with the team?
SK Sturm Graz suffered a bitter setback in the championship race when Jürgen Säumel's team lost a disappointing 3-0 to Wolfsberger AC. This was not only a bitter setback, but also a repeat of the defeat from September, when they also lost against WAC in Graz. According to the statistics, Sturm failed to fire a single shot on goal, while WAC shot on goal a total of six times and succeeded three times, reports laola1.at.
Captain Jon Gorenc Stankovic was visibly frustrated after the game and said in an interview with "Sky": "It's not understandable. It can't continue like this, we have to improve." Midfielder Otar Kiteishvili criticized the entire team performance and described the start of the season as a “botched”. He made it clear that the team needed to regain a “winning mentality” to get back to the top of the league. The problems are primarily to be found in the lack of penetration and in dealing with the WAC's quick switching game, according to the clear analysis by coach Säumel, who missed the basic football virtues in the first half krone.at reported.
Shocking setbacks and circulatory problems
The game had a worrying start: the first 30 minutes were a complete disaster for the “Blackies”. During this time they were unable to influence the game. After the game, the coach noted that the basic tactics were missing to be able to survive against a strong opponent like the WAC. Despite the gloomy situation, the team remains optimistic: "Giving up is easy. We don't want to give up. I believe in the team," emphasized Kiteishvili resolutely.
The next games will be crucial; Säumel hopes to achieve a better result against Blau-Weiß Linz with a concentrated training week and a clear strategy. The team now faces the challenge of analyzing and eliminating their weaknesses as quickly as possible in order not to fall further behind in the fight for the championship title.
