Red Bull Salzburg’s jewel: Seiwald continues to pick up momentum
At the age of 20, midfielder Nicolas Seiwald was already a manager at Red Bull Salzburg. The Kuchler has also developed enormously in one year.
On November 21, 2020, Nicolas Seiwald celebrated his Bundesliga debut for Austrian champions Red Bull Salzburg. A year later, the top talent in Austrian football has become an integral part of the Bulls’ regular line-up. Even more: the 20-year-old midfielder also made it to the Austrian national team. There, the Kuchler celebrates his debut on November 12, 2021 in a 4-2 in the World Cup qualification against Israel. Before the home game against Admira on Saturday in the Bundesliga, the whiz kid picked up momentum again.
Seiwald is returning to Salzburg with two victories in World Cup qualification against Israel and the Republic of Moldova. In both games, the youngster was in the starting line-up of ÖFB team boss Franco Foda. It can be assumed that Seiwald will soon be an integral part of the ÖFB selection. In Salzburg, the Kuchler started this season from zero to one hundred. Despite his youth, Seiwald is already one of the leading players and is also on the field in all of the champions’ competitive games. Salzburg coach Matthias Jaissle also continues to rely on the dynamism and duel strength of the season climber. “We manage the load correctly. He is in top shape and it’s a cool story for him that he has a game every three days,” said the German, who will be able to sit in the dugout on Saturday after his corona infection.
Seiwald will also take the momentum from the national team with him in the league and then in the game in the Champions League on Tuesday in Lille. “Everything went pretty quickly. I can still remember my debut in the league against Sturm when we lost. It’s a great feeling to have played so many games now,” said Seiwald, who also emphasized : “I am now even more self-confident than a year ago and I have also developed further in the technical and tactical areas.” Jaissle could only agree with the statements of one of his model students.
Jaissle is also convinced that the game in the Champions League on Tuesday against French champions Lille is not yet in the minds of his players: “It has been our hallmark in recent months that we always die the next task with high concentration coped well. “
