RB Salzburg will “break the points record”
FC Red Bull Salzburg – RZ Pellets WAC, 4: 0 (3: 0)
Referee: Daniel Pfister
Matthias Jaissle (Red Bull Salzburg coach):
…about the party: “We did really well from the first minute. There was a lot of speed. Even when we had the ball, we tried to play dynamically again and again and to set the spaces dynamically. Great praise, that was a really good performance by the team. A well-deserved win at this altitude.”
…about the motivation in the team: “The boys are professional footballers and should always have this intrinsic motivation to win games. There is no extra praise, because the motivation should always be there.”
…about Karim Adeyemi: “I’m happy for him, especially after a time that wasn’t easy for him. He was always shaken by small surprises and illnesses. Now he’s slowly getting back on his feet.”
…about a possible points record: “That’s a nice side note. We have every party’s aspiration to win. If this points record is added to that at the end, then we’ll take it with us with thanks.”
Lukas Sucic (Red Bull Salzburg):
…about the party: “The first half was extremely good from us. With the ball and against the ball, everything the coach asked of us was there. It was okay in the second half.”
…about Salzburg’s other goals: “We really enjoy playing. We still have a points record to break. That is our final goal of the season.”
“When you play in Salzburg and fall behind so quickly, it’s definitely not easy. In the end, we didn’t have enough rest when we were in possession.”
Alexander Walke (Red Bull Salzburg):
…about the party: “Of course it’s nice that I was able to play again today. I’m pleased that we won the game in a comfortable manner. Was fun.”
Karim Adeyemi (Red Bull Salzburg):
…about the party: “What does lightness mean? We just played a good game. Of course I’m happy that I could help the team. Overall we played great and won.”
Robin Dutt (WAC coach):
…about the party: “You always have to be critical of defeats. If you want to do something against Salzburg here, then you have to do it, run against the force, the speed that Salzburg has. We didn’t manage to do that today. Salzburg was a bit faster in the first half. We were always a step too late.”
…about his team’s defensive performance: “Of course you always want to get everything out of it. But not everything that goes well for Salzburg is automatically something where we have to doubt the mentality or anything else. If Salzburg uses their power and doesn’t reverse their running, then what happened in the first half will happen.”
…which didn’t work in terms of running: “You can be as fit as you like, there is always someone who is even fitter. Salzburg are fast and have power, if they bring this power, then they are superior to any team. Then you have to have a great day, like we did in the cup, so that they don’t play completely clean. Very few teams have this cream day and today we didn’t have one either.”
…about the fight for the European Cup places: “You may have noticed that we already prepared for the game against Sturm Graz at half-time today. We substituted all the players who had been yellowed at half-time. Then we have another derby to watch. Not both teams will be able to divide us. We have two games left and we are a team fighting for international places.”
Michael Liendl (WAC):
…about the game: “When you play in Salzburg and fall behind so quickly, it’s definitely not easy. In the end, we didn’t have enough rest when we were in possession of the ball. Then you run a lot against Salzburg. A clearly deserved defeat.”
…about his decision to stop at WAC: “At some point we came to a decision together that we would take a new path at WAC starting in the summer. So it was perfectly fine for me and perfectly fine for the club. It was clear that there would come a time when I would also leave the WAC. Now it’s time for summer.”
…continues: “The club made that decision, I made that decision. That’s fine. I’m still leaving my future open. I have to weigh this with my family. We’ll see what happens over the next few weeks. There is
