After the fate game won, coach Stephan Helm first approved a banana. The 42-year-old was relieved shortly afterwards on the podium in the Generali Arena press conference hall. And described satisfied how his conservative approach had worked. “We hardly gave up any rooms in the back and drove one or the other counterattack that we could have rewarded,” said Helm. “It fit well with today’s opponent. It doesn’t mean that we always do it that way now.”
His ideal picture is dominant football, emphasized Helm. “But we noticed that this is not currently fruitful in points, and then as a trainer you have to see which drawers you can pull. With this team you can pull some drawers because there is a lot of potential.” It can now be assumed that Helm can also think during the international break for the upcoming away game against Meister Puntigam Sturm Graz in similar drawers.
Discussions about coach Helm stay
It was only on the last match day that Vienna Austria achieved the first victory in the new Bundesliga season-with a success over the SCR Altach. Despite the long -awaited three points, the speculation about head coach Stephan Helm does not tear off.
Gold gate through two teenagers
The game was by no means “not a treat”, as Aleksandar Dragovic put it. The bottom line was that the first success of the season in the league was against a weakened substitute, but beforehand. Altach did not find a single clear bullet. In return, the “violets” struck two 19-year-olds. Sanel Saljics’s corner kick found the head of defender Dejan Radonjic.
Without mentioning the departure in the European Cup and the ÖFB Cup, the coach then replaced the failed start of the season. On the explained “milestone” master group participation had previously lacked six and now three points.
“You have to leave the church in the village, a lot has been inflated. We are a large club, there is always a big echo. But sometimes it looks very different within the club.” Shortly after the game, he also met Harald Zagiczek and sports director Manuel Ortlechner. “They were very happy. We stick together – in good and bad times,” said Helm.
Altach is still looking for reinforcements
Meanwhile, a series of nine unbeaten competitive games for Altach. “Four failures in the starting eleven, forty percent of field players, is difficult to compensate for every team in the world,” said coach Fabio Ingolitsch about a game that, according to him, would have been a typical 0: 0 without “Lucky Punch”.
A lot should happen until the transfer on September 5. In addition to an already planned physically strong striker and relief for Sandro Ingolitsch on the right full -back position, the coach now also has wishes for the central midfield.
“With Vesel Demaku (collarbone broken), a heart broke out in midfield,” said Ingolitsch. “We have to evaluate this very well and make smart decisions within our options and only do things that make us better.” It could amount to last-minute transfers.
