Here is the LIVETICKER:

LASK go into the last game of the year in a bad way. After four defeats in a row, including the disgraceful performance in Florence (0:7), Linz want to say goodbye to their fans with dignity in today's Conference League home game against Vikingur Reykjavik. "It's definitely a question of character," explained captain Robert Zulj. The hoped-for promotion is only mathematically possible.

"That requires a passionate performance!"
After the low point against Fiorentina, Linz have announced that they want to show morale once again, at least for the end of the year. "We want to say goodbye in front of our home crowd with a good game and a good result. Our top priority is to show a different face to the one we showed in Florence. The team is aware of that, we're all aware of that. That requires a passionate performance over the entire 90 minutes," explained coach Markus Schopp.

In retrospect, Schopp repeated his criticism of the lack of quality and team unity. "The result speaks for itself and it has emerged over the weeks that this is not a team. It's obvious that we reached our limits in certain positions and that one or two players were overstretched in their roles. It's important to be very clear here that there is a plan for the future," said the LASK coach.
