After just a few weeks Jeggo is very pleased with the coaching team and head coach Christian Ilzer: “We have a clear plan on how we want to play football. The goal is to clearly dominate the game. Our game lives on great intensity, a lot of passion and a purposefully forward. We also have a clear idea of how we want to conquer the ball.”
The international test matches against Slavia Prague, pre-season Europa League quarter-finalists, and Banik Ostrava were very revealing. “Slavia Prague showed us some weaknesses and we were able to build on them. In the first half against Banik Ostrava, we made a significant step forward. We will continue to improve against the Queens Park Rangers,” said the defensive midfielder.
James Jeggo celebrated his starting line-up debut for the Australian national team this summer. After a ten-day training camp with the ‘Socceroos’, he played in a test match against South Korea. “It was a very good time for me, again a great experience and a great chance to prove myself,” emphasizes the 27-year-old.
After a week and a half of vacation Jeggo started his third preparation for Austria Wien. “I feel very good since the beginning of the preparation. We worked on our game day after day. Even off the field, the training camp had a lot of positive effects in personal interactions - the atmosphere in the team and getting to know the coaching team.”
In the squad, the national team player takes on a new role as the only defensive midfielder in the 4-4-2 system with a flexible diamond, in front of him two offensively aligned central defender and one playmaker. “I feel better alone as the defensive midfielder. This gives me more responsibility. That way, I can clear things in front of the defence, back my fellow players and I’m in a good position for passes to players like Sax and Grünwald,” explains Jeggo.
A week after the game against the Queens Park Rangers the first competitive game in the Cup is waiting for the ‘Violets’, seven days later the start of the league in Tyrol. On August 8th and 15th, Austria Wien will enter the UEFA Europa League in the third qualifying round. “It’s starting soon - it is important that we have a good start in all competitions. That's why the game against the Queens Park Rangers is kind of the last test - at home in front of our own fans, every player can once again push himself for the starting elven,” emphasizes Jeggo, who hopes for many other international games in ‘Favoriten’:
"Of course, it is a big goal this season to make it into the European Cup - that's what we fought for last season. I want to play in the group stage as long as possible with Austria Wien. But first, it's important to get ahead in the Cup and start well into the championship.
