“We were good from the start against Vienna and mostly kept our opponents on the outside. The Capitals took the lead, but we still managed to get three points. But we’re already looking ahead to the duel with Salzburg, that will be a completely different game.”
“I think we complement each other very well in our line. Thomas Hundertpfund wins back a lot of targets, Finn van Ee rotates at the front of the forecheck and is annoying, I try to play in the spaces created in this way. Maybe it’s the shortcoming of our combo that we don’t have a natural scorer, but as you’ve seen recently, Thomas scores often now, with Finn it’s only a matter of time before he scores more goals, it’s the same with me. We fit together well and still have a little There’s room for improvement, I think.”
“Games against Salzburg are always hot, no matter what the table looks like. We all know that they want to be at the top and will eventually be there again. They are always on top of their game against us, they don’t give us any time or space, it will be important for us to do the same. We want to force our game on them on Sunday, I expect a close game, a real fight, from which we want to get out with three points.”
“Both clubs are distinguished by the fact that they have had and still have many of the best Austrian players under contract for years. We have a strong core of local players at the EC-KAC, and we want it to stay that way, so we are bringing in a lot of athletes trained in our own club, that’s what the public wants, that’s what our club wants too. Salzburg has the financial means to buy these top Austrian players, they do it very well. You don’t become champions four times in a row by chance, there are a lot of things being done right and before that you have to But we want to challenge them again this year, be at the forefront and then force a better outcome in the end than in the last two years.”
