SW Bregenz are still unbeaten in League Two after three rounds, with coach Regi van Acker and his team recording one win and two draws so far. However, midfielder Nussbaumer sees much more potential. What is still missing is simply a little time.

Two draws, one win - Bregenz are still unbeaten in League Two and can look back on a successful start to the season. However, it was also clear that not everything is running smoothly for the provincial capital. The opening match against Sturm II in Gleisdorf was bumpy, and not just because of the miserable pitch. The home side trailed at first in their narrow home win against newly promoted Voitsberg. They also came from behind against Liefering in the RB Arena to take a point after all.

Coach Regi van Acker is not yet completely satisfied with his team's performance.

Midfield engine Lars Nussbaumer has an explanation for the positive but somewhat cautious start. "We're still playing with the handbrake on a bit," says the Langenegger, who arrived from Dornbirn in the summer, "we were more relaxed in preparation. Now you can tell that nobody wants to do anything wrong. Now it's the league, points are at stake, the pressure is different."

But that doesn't mean that the mood is depressed. On the contrary, Nussbaumer clarifies. "We can already feel a little euphoria. We just need time - a new system of play and a lot of new players."

Against Liefering, Nussbaumer scored a dream goal to make it 1:0 when he half-volleyed the ball into the corner of the net from 18 meters.

Dream goal against Liefering
The 23-year-old himself is pleased with how things are going for him. He recently scored a dream goal against Liefering to take a 1-0 lead and has played every minute so far. "It gives you a good feeling when you have the coach's trust," says Nussbaumer happily.
