Testify
Christoph Freund about…
… the short season so far:
“The season is still very young. We played four competitive games, of which we won three and lost one. This early defeat at Sturm was a bit unusual for us. After the friendly win against Liverpool, Graz may have missed a few percent. That was a clear sign for us that we have to keep working hard and that the championship WILL NOT be a sure-fire success. But we’re back on track, the energy in the team is high and it’s our turn again to work everything out – hopefully on Sunday against WAC.”
… possible transfers until the end of August:
“I don’t want to rule out that something else will happen before then. We have now clarified Benjamin Sesko’s personnel. There was a lot of hype about him, like we haven’t seen it often before. Ultimately, he also wanted us to clarify that quickly, and we’re happy that that’s off the table. We now have an extremely large number of games in autumn and we know that we need a lot of players. But we know that we have a broad base. Something else can probably happen.”
Matthias Jaissle on…
… his state of health and the duel with the Carinthians:
“I’m 100 percent fit again. Basically, it is very unusual to follow such a game (note: against TSV Hartberg) from home. Big compliments to our entire staff, they did a great job in my absence.
The fact is that the WAC is actually very constant. If you look at that across the seasons, we’ve been unbeaten for a long time and played really well. We also know from our own experience in the cup semifinals how uncomfortable they can be. We are assuming that they will have a top team together on Sunday and will demand everything from us.”
Benjamin Sesko on…
… the game against WAC:
“WAC did very well in the Conference League during the week and come to us with a sense of achievement. That’s why we have to present ourselves as a team again and concentrate fully on our strengths, on our game. If we can do that, we will also be successful.”
