House exhausted, 29,520 spectators: In Salzburg, everything is prepared for a football festival. After the 3-2 victory of the Austrian League leaders in Leipzig for the start of the Europa League, the two teams sponsored by Red Bull meet again on Thursday (at 18:55) in Wals-Siezenheim. Like 20 September, many European eyes will be on the match.
This certainly includes Hoffenheim officials. The newspaper "Bild" announced on Monday that a change of Salzburg coach Marco Rose this summer at the German Bundesliga would be more concrete. It is negotiated on a three-year contract. Rumors about the departure of the successful coach are, however, far from new. German interference in the media has always been synonymous. Before the Celtic match in early October, for example, the "kicker" had already announced that Rose was at the top of the list of concrete successor candidates to Julian Nagelsmann, who will travel to Leipzig next summer.
"We are in October and are discussing topics that could worsen next year.I just do not like to comment.I've done well until here.I'm still sitting here, even if I left seven times. "Rose then answered the questions. The 42-year-old German will have to comment on the current report at Wednesday's official press conference. However, expect the answer to be similar.
In any event, the goal of Hoffenheim is to clarify the issue of training by the end of the year. If the choice actually returns to Rose, which seems unlikely, a redemption payment to "bulls" would be due, as Rose had extended her contract prematurely from May to 2020. The Rose team can not be diverted by speculation currently has a very strong.
The race is impressive with 41 points out of 45 possible in the Bundesliga and four victories in the Europa League. Exceptionally, this balance is not enough for a ticket for the knockout phase. "It's quite unusual that despite the four victories, we have not finished yet, and as none of us are starting for a final game in Glasgow, we want to fix the climb on Thursday," said midfielder Xaver Schlager. And striker Hannes Wolf added: "We want everything to be clear and hibernated in the Europa League because we need these games."
The premature rise would also be Rose's taste, but warned: "We have a lot of confidence in ourselves and we have created a superior starting position, but we also know that nothing has been decided yet." Theoretically, the Salzburg could also Leipzig Celtic Glasgow, also six points of the pace, will be exceeded.
The current form speaks easily of Salzburg. The finalists in Leipzig suffered a setback at Wolfsburg in the German league last week. They came back in fourth place and had to play against former Salzburgs Kevin Kampl (ankle), Marcel Sabitzer (Wade) and Dayot Upamecano Knee). "But we need an outstanding performance," was aware of Schlager.
Even the champion of Austria can not take full advantage. With Amadou Haidara, only the support is injured, which is badociated with a winter transfer to Leipzig. Even Reinhold Yabo must continue to go into injured form.
