So Matthias Jaissle was still there for Red Bull Salzburg – football
FC Red Bull Salzburg remained unbeaten after the 14th matchday of the Admiral Bundesliga. The front runner lived up to his reputation on Saturday and scored three points away from the Vienna Austria Die (match report >>>).
On a closer look, however, it is clear that the victory in Vienna-Favoriten was anything but normal. There is hardly a detail that catches the eye more than the absence of Salzburg head coach Matthias Jaissle.
As only became known on Friday, the 33-year-old tested positive for Covid-19. A circumstance that of course makes Jaissle’s presence impossible. However, the German has not left his team completely in the lurch.
As Nicolas Seiwald revealed after the game, there was a video message from the head coach before the game. But even during the party war, Jaissle was constantly networked with the players on the sidelines.
Jaissle? “War there live”
“Who Matthias, who knows how checked he is, he was at home, built himself up, was there live, connected to the analysts,” says Salzburg sports director Christoph Freund, who has just recovered from Corona, in front of the “Sky” microphone.

“Of course he wasn’t satisfied at the break either. But in the end he is also happy now, I already spoke to him on the phone for a short time”, Freund gives an insight into the process behind the scenes.
In general, the sporting director is very satisfied with how his team put away last week in order to achieve a hard-won work victory in Favoriten.
Burden to blame for mixed first half?
“The situation was not easy. It was all at short notice this week. The game on Wednesday in Wolfsburg was bitter, you could also see it with the players. We really wanted to advance, so the disappointment was great. This young team had to deal with it first to lose the first time, “friend.
“There is a lot of pressure on the team, so the first half wasn’t ideal,” continues Freund. “We didn’t find our way into the game, and the team didn’t have any energy either. We weren’t as good as we usually are often play football. “
The changes during the break, however, then paid off, with the substitution of Karim Adeyemi after an hour of field the winning goal.
Adeyemi? “Its development is just cool”
The DFB national player once again proved what value he has for the team. “It’s cool that he scored again from the bench. His development is just cool. We’ve talked a lot about him, but today he was again an important factor in winning the difficult game,” said Freund.
The decision to bring Adeyemi after an hour was quite legitimate for Freund, but the trust in the strikers, who were preferred on Saturday, is great.
“We started with Noah (note Okafor) and Junior (note Adamu), two national players from Switzerland and Austria. Then we can shoot another like Karim, who started every game before. He has the necessary freshness in In the end, it was very important because we hadn’t played such a good game up to now. If you can go up like that, that’s of course an advantage, “says the sports director.
Adeyemi: “Bank or from the start doesn’t matter”
“Last season I sat on the bench a lot and I was able to remember it again,” said Karim Adeyemi with a humorous touch on his joker role on Saturday. “The win counts. Whether I sit on the bench or play from the start doesn’t matter if we have three points in the end.”
In the end, the “cops” travel back to Mozart’s city with happy faces, as Austria was a really difficult opponent to play on. “I’m really happy, that was a difficult win at work. A 1-0 win away from home is always nice,” said Freund.
“You have to say that Austria played a really good game. They had nothing to lose against us, they just wanted to play a good football game. In the end we are a little happier winner, but we are happy to take that with us,” said the sports director.
