After defeat

Frustration for Beichler, hot air around goalscorer Reischl

Liefering have a lot to work on after their first-round defeat. Coach Beichler wants to see more attitude from his players. Meanwhile, the rumors surrounding striker Luka Reischl are unfounded.

"We have to remind ourselves that our performance - and there was still a lot of footballing potential in the second half - was decent right from the start. Then you can create scoring chances simply by keeping your composure and forcing the ball." Liefering coach Daniel Beichler was extremely frustrated after the 1-0 opening defeat against Vienna. The young bulls should score against Lafnitz next Friday if they don't want to find themselves at the back of the pack again - like last fall.

However, he can breathe a sigh of relief when it comes to his goalscorer Luka Reischl. Rumors of a possible transfer to Hansa Rostock in the third German league surfaced on Thursday. However, there is "nothing to it", as the club confirmed to the "Krone". Head coach Beichler had nothing but praise for the 20-year-old from Pongau: "You could tell from the very first second that Luka was pulling himself apart for the team."
