Bundesliga: Altach coach Pastoor is “fed up”

“We talk about it with video analytics all week and everyone knows what to do. He does that in training too, but then comes the game and a setback and we’re down straight away. ”He would like to replace his entire team, said the Dutchman.

Six winless compulsory matches, in which, apart from the 0-0 four weeks ago, in the home game against the also ailing Vienna Austria, and 367 minutes without a goal in the league are clear proof of how weak Altach is currently. One and a half weeks ago, they even lost 1: 2 at the fourth division Vienna in the eighth final. Even then, Pastoor counted mercilessly with his team and spoke of a “scandalous performance” with which his players would have let the whole club down. But now he went one step further.

Many questions, few answers

“Of course we ask ourselves a lot of questions, but there are too few answers. If you start a game like this, you can still do it. But when I see how to deal with someone injured – that has happened before. And a yellow-red card has also happened several times. That doesn’t mean we have to stop playing football. After the yellow-red card, St. Pölten played against ten individual players and not against one team, ”said the Altach coach on Sky, referring to the early injury to defender Anderson in the tenth minute and the exclusion of Nosa Edokpolor in the 36th minute.

“And I am fed up with individual mistakes”, added Pastoor, who was only reasonably satisfied with the performance in the “last ten or 15 minutes before half-time”. His team “at least tried to play well with the ball. But these individual mistakes are not possible, ”affirmed the 54-year-old.

Completely off track and like “sheep”

It is clear to him that his team did not go into the game with too much self-confidence after the recent negative series. “But when it’s clear how we’re playing (…) that we have to be hot for the second ball – and that just doesn’t happen. And when we have the second ball, then we just hit it forward – then I think either my German is so bad during the week or the Kotrainer is so bad, but then we’re on a different track, “said Pastoor obviously at a loss.

It is not illogical that after the deficit, “the trust then becomes less and less, is it? They’re just people too. But I don’t understand that they go to battle like sheep, ”he annoyed the lack of attitude of his players, as he did against Vienna.

Little trust in the team

When asked how much hope he still had for the last two games of the year – away next Saturday against newly promoted Ried and then a week later on December 19 in Hartberg – Pastoor’s answer was: “If a coach is hoping then he’d better stop because it doesn’t work that way. But we can’t replace a whole team, that’s nonsense too. But let’s think again. That’s something you never really think about, but why not. “

He knows that there is much more to his players, they have “shown it more often”. “But football is not just sun on your face and wind on your back, it’s like today – rain, cold, setbacks. And if you deal with it that way, yes, then I also know how the last two games are going. ”It will be interesting to see how the club management will react to Pastoor’s relentless settlement.
