Prohaska analyzes:

“The top flight is too big for us”

At the halfway point of the current European Cup league phases, Austria is twelfth in the five-year rankings. According to Herbert Prohaska, that's where we belong: "The top flight is too big for us, the Conference League is perfect." He is not yet enthusiastic about the new mode.

Half-time in the European Cup league phases, so far I haven't been able to get to grips with the new mode. I miss the comparisons at home and away against the same opponent. But now there's a flood of games. Thursday is madness. Pep Guardiola is right when he talks about "as many games as in the NBA". That's good for soccer fans, but almost too much even for me. If I followed everything, my wife would divorce me.
