Coach Joao Sacramento certainly imagined his first months at the LASK. The Linzer missed the start of the season as in the pre -season: three points, four goals and twelve goals are the balance sheet for international break – it does not meet your own requirements.
Sacramento’s previous predecessor Thomas Darazs had to leave the club almost exactly one year ago with similar numbers on the habit side.
At the moment everything indicates that the Portuguese has more time to stabilize the team. The derby against SV Ried on Saturday was a step in the right direction in many matters and the most complete performance of the first five Bundesliga rounds. The fact that in the end there is a 1: 3 defeat on the game report shows that the problems are not only to be found on the coaching chair.
Horrendous exploitation of opportunities
Sacramento himself titled the fourth bankruptcy of his term with the word “unfair” that the better team had left the pitch as a loser. He thus omits two aspects that contributed to the outcome of the game.
On the one hand, the climber – within the scope of his possibilities – also showed good performance. Ried once again presented himself as a well -organized, brave and therefore unpleasant opponent for a larger club. Trainer Maximilian Senft’s match plan was consistently implemented.
On the other hand, the LASK had a large number of chances to decide the game early. In order to disturb the opposing structure, at least five Rieder were involved in the high pressing in many scenes. The Linzers had various counter opportunities, especially in the first half.
