Silberberger: "We can't just move on as if nothing happened"

All's well that ends well for Wolfsberger AC?

Not if you ask coach Thomas Silberberger. "You can't just move on as if nothing happened immediately. We discussed something different; we need to address that," said the Tyrolean, furious after the nervy progression to the UNIQA ÖFB Cup round of 16 (Match Report>>>) in an "ORF" interview.

All in all, it was "an extremely difficult day, even if we got out with a black eye," Silberberger continued. "Currently, there is an awful lot to do."

Fears for Wimmer - "Makes the victory worthless"

The 53-year-old is also in such a bad mood because his captain, Nicolas Wimmer, likely sustained a serious knee injury in the second half. Silberberger commented: "It doesn't look really good."

Wimmer's injury makes the victory "worthless."

Another sending off for WAC

Not only Wimmer is expected to miss the round of 16 away match against FC Hertha Wels, but also Otar Mamageishvili.

The Georgian received a yellow-red card at the start of extra time in Parndorf, making him the third WAC player to be sent off in three matches.

"We weakened ourselves again; we didn't finish the game with eleven players again," sighed Silberberger.

"In two days, nobody will ask anymore"

The only positive aspect of the duel with the Eastern League team was the performance of new signing Lior Gliklich, who saved Dominik Schmidt's decisive penalty.

"What WAC doesn't have is a goalkeeper problem. We are very satisfied with Gliklich; Gütlbauer has also performed outstandingly recently," said Silberberger.

Overall, he was "massively dissatisfied" with what was shown, but at the same time, he knows: "But at the end of the day, only progressing in the ÖFB Cup counts. In two days, no one will ask how."
