The construction sites have not become any smaller for Salzburg coach Pep Lijnders. After the 4-0 defeat against Brest, he not only has to deal with the false start in the Champions League. The goalkeeper discussion also catches up with the Salzburg head coach. The chants for Alexander Schlager did not go unnoticed by the coach; they continued to echo through the stadium long after the game was over. With the decision to demote the then injured ÖFB team goalkeeper to a reserve in the summer and to make new signing Janis Blaswich the starting goalkeeper and captain, Lijnders caused some incomprehension in the Salzburg environment. Blaswich fueled the goalkeeper discussion by once again allowing a ball to bounce forward against Brest, conceding the 3-0 defeat.
Lijnders expressed reservations about the situation and also the discontent of the fans. “First I have to deal with the relationships in the team. It’s always like this in football: if the board, the management, the team, the support team and the fans think in the same way and want the same thing, then good things can happen. ” At the moment this does not seem to be the case from all sides. “For me the most important thing is that we win together and lose together.”
