Slowly it gets serious again: On Friday and Saturday, the OÖ-Profik clubs LASK, Blau-Weiß Linz, SV Ried and FC Hertha Wels will start the competitive game of the new season in the ÖFB Cup. Last weekend, the Upper Austria quartet tried for an emergency. These are the most important findings after the summer preparation:
At the LASK, the attack pressing is back: Under neo-trainer Joao Sacramento, the athletics should again want to connect to previous success days. Ball conquests at the very front belong again to the tactical corset. The fitness required for this should also be given again – this was particularly criticized a year ago after the summer preparation. A difference to the pre -season: the LASK is far thinner on paper. Especially in central defense and in the storm there are still too few alternatives. Goal scorer Maximilian Entrup was also lacking in the final test games against Hajduk Split (2: 1) and Union Berlin (0: 2) due to injury. Fix has been on the pitch since the weekend who will lead the black and white in the coming season: Sascha Horvath was officially appointed the new LASK captain during the team presentation.
Blau-Weiß Linz is still too dependent on striker Ronivalaldo: The Linzer completed a turbulent preparation with the 1: 4 against the English second division club Ipswich Town. After the short-term jump of success coach Gerald Scheiblehner on the day of the training start, Neo-Coach Mitja Mörec took over only two weeks later.
