"Want to bring all our energy onto the pitch".

The Violets flew from Tel Aviv to Salzburg on Friday afternoon, where the team bus was waiting for Manfred Fischer & Co. and transported them directly to Tirol, where the Austrian team will train on Saturday. Twelve hours after the final whistle of the 0:4 against Hapoel Be'er Scheva, the focus of the coaching team & the team was already back on the next Bundesliga match:

"Nobody likes to lose 0:4 and certainly not in the European Cup, we take this defeat - also deserved - with us. But the most important thing now is to focus on Sunday, because the game in Tyrol is very important," emphasised coach Manfred Schmid, who substituted four players from the starting line-up yesterday at half-time: Fitz, Fischer, Ranftl and Polster:

"I really rotated yesterday for the first time because I also had the feeling that otherwise we would have more problems for Sunday." Marvin Martins dropped out at short notice on Thursday with adductor complaints. Who will be fit and ready to play on Sunday will only become clear on matchday. Central defender Lucas Galvao is missing due to suspension.

"Now we have this important game on Sunday, in which we will put everything into it and want to bring all our energy onto the pitch, because we will have a few days of rest afterwards and won't play again until the weekend," Manfred Schmid explains. For the first time in many weeks, there is no game during the week. At the end of the autumn season, Austria will host WAC in Vienna-Favoriten on 13 November at 14:30.
