Lijnders: "Sehr stolz auf die Jungs" nach Salzburg-Sieg
A dominant performance and a convincing victory! VfL Bochum's head coach, Thomas Letsch, was full of praise for his team after their 3-0 win against Red Bull Salzburg in the Europa League.
Bochum's victory in Austria was a statement of intent. The Bundesliga side showcased impressive teamwork, tactical discipline, and clinical finishing to secure their first three points in Group F. After the game, Letsch expressed his satisfaction with his team's performance.
"I'm very proud of the boys," he said in his post-match interview. "We played with a lot of intensity and courage. We were very compact, and we were able to take advantage of our chances. This was a really important win for us."
Bochum's tactics were key to their success. They employed a high-pressing game that disrupted Salzburg's rhythm and forced the Austrian champions into uncharacteristic errors.
"We knew that Salzburg was a very strong team," Letsch added. "They're very good on the ball and they have a lot of quality in attack. But we were able to nullify their strengths and we were able to create our own chances."
The victory not only boosted Bochum's confidence but also highlighted their potential to compete at the European level. The team's ability to adapt their game against a team with a different style of play impressed many.
"We showed that we're capable of playing against the best teams in Europe," said Letsch. "This was a big step for us, and we're going to keep working hard to get better."
Looking ahead, the win in Salzburg provides a valuable momentum boost for Bochum. With their next Europa League match against AS Roma on the horizon, the team will be aiming to carry this winning mentality into their upcoming matches.
This victory is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the entire team. Letsch's tactical acumen, combined with the players' commitment and performance, has given Bochum a strong platform to build upon. This win will undoubtedly be a highlight of their season and a sign of the positive things to come for VfL Bochum.
