Letsch: “We really wanted to get the next round”

After the 3-1 home victory against FAC, Austria Wien is now in the Cup quarter-finals. Two victories are missing for a possible final at home in the Generali-Arena on May 1st. Thomas Letsch summed up: "The important thing is that we made it to the next round. All in all, it was a deserved victory. It is also very positive that Max Sax, one of our injured players, is back." The next important home game against WAC awaits on Sunday at 2:30 PM.

Our quarter-final opponent in the UNIQA ÖFB Cup will be announced on Sunday during the drawing on the ORF program "Sport am Sonntag" (6 PM, live on ORF1). The round of the last eight is scheduled for mid-February (February 16^th/17^th)

Austria Wien Coach Letsch analyses his team's performance against FAC during the round of 16: "We started the game very well in the first 15 minutes, but failed to keep up the pressure during the first half, were not brave enough and let the opponent come into the game. During the second half we could deliver a better game."

Attacking forces return

Particularly pleasing for the whole team was Max Sax’ competitive game debut, who came back after a long injury break and introduced himself with the assist to the 3-1. "You could already see that he is good for us. I am glad that he is back on the pitch, he has his smile back on his face. He's a football player, he wants to play, he is fast and goes deep - I think he can boost our offensive play, with his way of playing football," says Letsch about Sax.

Competition in the offensive will become even bigger in the next few weeks. Bright Edomwonyi is training with the team again and could possibly play in the home game against RB Salzburg (Sunday, November 11^th, 5 PM). It will take Alon Turgeman a little longer.
