Everything is happening way too fast for Blau-Weiss Linz

The 0:5 against Rapid once again showed Blau-Weiss Linz the limits. Coach Gerald Scheiblehner remains calm.

“We have to be realistic about the whole thing. In the first laps we had opponents who were clearly superior to us,” said the 46-year-old. The only opponent within reach was Hartberg, against the Styrians they scored the only point so far at home with a happy 3:3. “When the opponent puts pressure on us and we get stressed, we still make the wrong decisions.”

Against Rapid, Blau-Weiss Linz was again overwhelmed with the duel and the pace – in the legs and in the head. You can get used to that, but only as far as the potential of the individual players allows. “We can’t condemn or badmouth any players now, these are my players,” said the coach. In the coming weeks he will find out who is not enough in the Bundesliga. The away game on Saturday at Sturm Graz is still a bonus game – after that it gets serious: In Tirol and after the international break against Altach points are needed.
