Gerhard rodax has given an interview to Der Standard in which he analyzes RB Salzburg and Atlético de Madrid before they meet this Tuesday in the Champions League. The former rojiblanco player in the 1990/91 season is director of a tennis center in Traiskirchen (Austria). Among the players he coaches is Dominic Thiem. The Austrian has analyzed the preview of the meeting:
RB Salzburg: “Salzburg have no chance. They have to fight Atlético and not necessarily in a playful way.”
Match against Atlético: “They never get bored or lethargic. You can't back down. They always carry more weight. If you let yourself be intimidated, they will eat you up.”
Game: “Atlético don't always have to play fair.”
Signing of Luis Suárez: “Suárez can always decide a game by himself.”
Atlético squad: “They have a small advantage over Real Madrid and Barcelona: Atlético don't always have to play well and have famous names. They can buy the players they want.”
Atlético will win a title: “They are well positioned from front to back. They have no weak points.”
Village team: “In bars and in the city it is almost a cliché. The upper class is for Real Madrid, the lower class for Atlético. This is also desired and consistent.”
Season at Atlético: “I had a great time there and I still support them.”
Tennis academy: “Everyone talks about Traiskirchen internationally. That's just good for all of us.”
