Thick air in Salzburg
Lijnders severely underestimated the “Schlager case”
Christoph Nister dedicates his "Krone" column to the FC Red Bull Salzburg goalie case and the reactions of the Bulls fans ...
He came. He saw. And he became captain. Janis Blaswich moved on loan from the Rasenballers in Leipzig to the "Bullen sister" in Salzburg in the summer. Shortly after his arrival, neo-head coach Pep Lijnders appointed him as his extended arm on the pitch. "Because of his personality, his ambition, his presence in the dressing room. Everyone feels it when he sets foot on the pitch," the coach explained firmly at the time.
Even then, his decision met with little approval. The fans disliked the fact that regular goalkeeper Alexander Schlager - who was injured at the time - would only be a reserve. Something had been in the air for weeks, which was now unleashed in the 4-0 defeat against Brest.
"Stierwoscha" only on the bench
Lijnders, like the entire club, seriously underestimated the "Schlager case". The 28-year-old embodies what the fans want: He is a "Stierwoscha", part of the ÖFB team squad and fully identifies with the club, which he sees as more than just a stopover. In other words, they see him as one of their own.
However, his love for Schlager led to him crossing the line. Blaswich is not guilty of anything that would justify ridiculing him. You don't have to be a fan of the 33-year-old. But you should at least give him a fair chance.
