Creepy backdrop
This Salzburg “backdrop” was scary!
There was a free choice of seats at FC Red Bull Salzburg's cup match against WSG Tirol on Wednesday evening. Not even 2500 spectators came to see the Bulls on the pitch. But Pep Lijnders praised the supporters.
No, the big picture was not taken two hours before the game, but at kick-off. Only 2437 spectators attended the cup game between the Bulls and WSG Tirol. Creepy! The minus record of 1500 fans - also set against the Tyroleans at the end of October 2020 (5:0) due to corona restrictions - was clearly missed.
Unsurprisingly, the Bulls' mega-crisis is also reflected in the attendance figures. "You shouldn't be surprised," says Otto, who was caught by the Krone outside the stadium in an almost eerie silence. But Salzburg is also different.
"At other clubs, people come anyway, even if the team is playing badly." Nevertheless, the 74-year-old was highly critical of those responsible and joked: "If they lose, I'll buy two train tickets. One to Passau for sports director Seonbuchner, the second to the Netherlands for coach Lijnders." His threat was not carried out.
Huge praise from Lijnders
Visitor Doris also calls for personnel consequences. "The club management is to blame for the crisis," she says. Fan Marco emphasizes: "The important thing is that we all stick together."
In contrast to previous weeks, the spectators were not disappointed this time. With a courageous performance, the Bulls confidently advanced to the quarter-finals of the ÖFB Cup. As thanks for the support, coach Pep Lijnders said in the press conference afterwards: "It felt like there were 25,000 in the stadium."
