In the first Bundesliga season, Blau-Weiß Linz ultimately managed to avoid relegation, now the second year awaits. Ahead of the league opener against Vienna Austria, coach Gerald Scheiblehner took time out for the "Krone" to talk about his expectations and why he is confident in the squad. 

"Krone": Despite periods of weakness, they managed to avoid relegation, highlights such as the victories over Salzburg and LASK and a spirit of optimism throughout the club. Are BW Linz ready for the season opener against Austria?
 GeraldScheiblehner: The preparation was basically positive, even if the two match cancellations were not ideal for load management. That's why we also included a test. The new players arrived very soon, but unfortunately we had a few injured players like Wähling and Anderson. But I am convinced that we have strengthened ourselves very, very well.
