Wir waren ein bisschen arrogant heute.
LASK played well in the first half, but then they let up.
"We were a bit arrogant today, and that gets punished in this league," says Andrade. After the clear lead, the team became too negligent twice.
He also speaks of individual mistakes that led to the conceded goals. These had already accumulated in recent weeks and were again decisive this time.
Kühbauer: "It was not good"
Coach Dietmar Kühbauer's verdict is short and clear: "It simply wasn't good."
When asked what didn't work, the LASK coach answers: "A lot. A lot. Too many mistakes."
Kühbauer also shares a similar view on the mental fatigue and arrogance mentioned by Andrade. To the assessment that his players might have become too self-confident after the 2-0 lead, he reacts clearly: "Not far from it."
LASK must utilize the break
For the Linz side, the international break therefore comes at an opportune moment. The last victory for the Linz club dates back to early September. After the international break, the highlight matches against league leaders Rapid (Oct 11) and the Champions League duel at Anfield Road (Oct 14) follow.
