Many eyes in Salzburg are already on the upcoming Champions League opener against AC Milan. But before that happens, the people of Mozart will welcome the WSG Tirol on Saturday. The roles seem to be clearly distributed, you stay in sixth place in the Bundesliga table, but you can still take something with you.
“It’s going to be extremely difficult, we know that. We’re playing against a top international team, against a permanent guest in the Champions League. If we want to get something against Salzburg, we need a dream day and they need a bad one,” estimates WSG coach Thomas Silberberger the situation. Although the last three clashes were clearly in favor of the series champion, the Tyroleans draw hope – in the 2021 championship group, the WSG was able to prevail 3-2 at home. “We’re definitely not going to Salzburg to leave the field without a fight – even if the statistics are devastating for us,” said Silberberger.
anything but a Salzburg victory would be a surprise on Saturday. The market value of the League Croesus is around 21 times that of the WSG squad. Silberberger doesn’t accept that you have nothing to lose: “There’s nothing to lose, that’s not true. We have a lot to win, of course, but I don’t want to get a swatter in Salzburg either.”
