In the premier class they are in a disappointing 30th place with three points after five match days; in the core business of the Austrian Bundesliga, things are going similarly badly for the long-time subscription champions. The Bulls recently went four games without a win and are only in sixth place (two games behind) and already 14 points behind league leaders Sturm Graz.

ÖFB legend Andreas Herzog burst as part of the Sky– Finally the collar was transferred, so that he launched into an incendiary speech. “We were feignedly confident before the game – now we can say it – because as Austrians you always hope that an Austrian team will sell well,” said the 56-year-old, who played for Bremen and Bayern in Germany , before he settled accounts with the team: “But the first half was a complete disaster.”
“Intensity – nothing! Mentality – nothing at all”
“You can’t compare this team with the Salzburg teams from before,” continued Herzog, who completely missed the classic RB virtues with which Salzburg has dominated Austria over the last few years. “Intensity – nothing! Mentality – nothing,” rumbled the native Viennese.

For him, the talented winger Nene Dorgeles was emblematic of the current situation, whom he accused of unprofessional behavior because he was not immediately available to come on after Karim Konaté was substituted due to injury. Instead, the 21-year-old from Mali was seen putting on his socks on the bench.
“He’s making Salzburg look ridiculous across Europe!”
“A player is swapped after ten minutes, Nene Dorgeles, who doesn’t even have his socks on. He makes Salzburg ridiculous throughout Europe! Well, that’s crazy,” Herzog said, talking himself into a rage and questioning professionalism: “They always say that our dream is to play in the Champions League and then he’s not even prepared for a substitution. That’s crazy. This is embarrassing!”
Expert colleague Marc Janko, also a former Austrian national player, agreed with Herzog’s criticism: “This clearly shows what is wrong with this team: discipline, readiness, will – that is absolutely subterranean,” concluded the 41-year-old. Year-old who has 70 international matches for the ÖFB.
To make matters worse, Salzburg still has three very tough challenges in the premier class. There are still games against PSG, Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid.
