On Friday, the LASK Art Smakaj presented the third access, in the last test game of the preparation against Union Berlin, the 22 -year -old was in the starting eleven according to Blankett – but he had to wait for the debut: After the warming up, coach Joao Sacramento stated the gear at Smakaj. It was only from the 63rd minute that the national player of Kosovo was allowed to show the 6442 spectators in the Raiffeisen-Arena in the black and white dress.
It was not only because of the preparation. Usually, in the last test, at least the majority of the planned starting eleven can warm up for the first competitive game. At the LASK, those who were on the ball at 0-2 against Union Berlin knew that they were currently in the challenge role: against the German Bundesliga club with ex-athletic Marin Ljubicic in the first half and ÖFB team defender Leopold across the field after the break, the “second set” played at LASK.
Victory in the early dress rehearsal
The actual dress rehearsal had already taken place on Friday to open the “Summer Series Upper Austria” in the Raiffeisen-Arena: Then the first set of LASK against Hajduk Split won 2-1.
It was a real endurance test before the first competitive game against the Vienna Sport Club in the first round of the ÖFB Cup on Saturday at the Hohen, because the Croatians must also be fit for the emergency: they play on Wednesday in the conference League qualification against Zira. The athletics passed the test properly, both goals scored Samuel Adeniran (8th, 92nd).
