Bundesliga: Ried seeks defense for “relegation ghost”

The comeback season in the Bundesliga after relegation in 2017 is also approached defensively in the Innviertel from the play area. Although they conceded the third few goals in the Hpybet 2. Liga last season with 39 after Austria Klagenfurt and Vorwärts Steyr (36 each), according to Baumgartner there is a harsher wind blowing in the Bundesliga.

“We have to strengthen the defense,” emphasized the coach, “we have to adapt to the higher pace and the more robust style of play and therefore also change our tactics. We’ll have a completely different focus and play more on the counterattack, ”said the 55-year-old, who is planning three test matches and a four to five-day training camp until the championship starts on September 11th.

Many personnel decisions open

In any case, the roster is still being vigorously refined. At the start of training, defensive players Thomas Reifeltshammer and Marcel Ziegl were missing two Ried veterans. The reason are negotiations about the expiring contracts. “We both want to hold on, but the cake has not gotten bigger by Corona,” said Baumgartner, but was optimistic: “I think there are good chances that you will stay with us.”

Further personnel decisions will follow. With the two left-backs Michael Lercher (most recently Mattersburg) and Manuel Haas (Inter Zapresic) and midfielder Kristijan Dobras (Irtish Pavlodar) and striker Desire Segbe Azankpo from Benin (Oldham Athletic), four loan players were on the field on Wednesday. Baumgartner also promised three additions, the obligation to be announced in the “coming week”.

Talents should mature

Two midfielders, Marcel Canadi and Murat Satin, who each signed a two-year contract, joined the squad on Tuesday. Canadi, the 22-year-old son of the former Rapid and now coach of Atromithos Athens Damir Canadi, last played for two-tier Amstetten, he was previously trained in the youth team of Borussia Mönchengladbach. The 23-year-old Satin has also been in the Hpybet 2nd league at Wacker Innsbruck in his hometown for the past three seasons.

“Marcel Canadi and Murat Satin are a very good match for SV Ried in terms of age and talent. Both want to take the next step in Ried, “said Baumgartner,” I am convinced that they can mature into top players in the Bundesliga in the next one or two years. “Something will also happen in the goalie position,” he said Coach. The 24-year-old Johannes Kreidl, who was a single goalkeeper until an injury at the end of June, wants to follow his partner to Finland – where he has already been playing for a year. His substitute Filip Dmitrovic will soon receive naturalization, the Rieder are looking for more goalies. Samuel Sahin-Radlinger is a candidate.
