Red Bull Salzburg
You can’t defend like that at this level
As a fan, you must have felt like you were watching the wrong movie in the Bullen-Arena yesterday. Salzburg played well for 65 minutes and were the better team. But then coach Pep Lijnders' squad completely fell apart. Once again, the focus was on the defense.
Three games in a row without conceding a goal. The opponents were WSG Tirol, Wiener Viktoria and Austria Wien. With all due respect to this trio, none of these clubs are anywhere near Champions League level. And as soon as a team reaches this level, the Bulls' defense has enormous problems. That was evident in the 0:3 in Prague and also yesterday in the 0:4 against Brest.
All four Salzburg defenders made mistakes on Tuesday. At 0:1, Piatkowski lost a crucial duel in midfield and then Dedic was far too late. Before the second goal, Baidoo only provided Brest's attacker with protection instead of attacking him, and Morgalla then put the ball at the goalscorer's feet. The back four and goalkeeper Blaswich did not make a good impression with the other goals either.
Of course, support from the strikers and midfielders is also required, but Lijnders still needs to come up with something for his defense. Because you can't defend like that at this level.
