Salzburg fans: "We were lucky that Dynamo's players were not so technical"

The Austrians were surprised that Dynamo failed to sell out the stadium for a key match against an interesting opponent, despite the fact that there are many Ukrainians living in Poland.

Leitner: On paper, Dynamo looked like a very dangerous opponent. I was worried about the club, thinking that the chances were 50-50, but the Ukrainians didn't play well. There was a lot of emotion and struggle from them, but little constructive play.

Fischwenger: The journalists wrote correctly before the match. Ukrainian teams play on emotions, they are constantly wound up and ready to play as if it were the last time. But this is also their weakness. Where other teams would play in cold blood, Ukrainians cannot turn off their emotions. This played in our favor, because they had enough chances to score a goal, and more than one.

Ratay: I read somewhere that there are now a million refugees from Ukraine in Poland, and they can't fill a stadium for 15 thousand people. It's strange to me. Perhaps football is not the number one sport in this country, which is why there is so little interest in it.

Eberherr: Actually, it was a very difficult match for Salzburg. We could have scored 5-6 goals if we had realized our chances. But the Ukrainians could have scored 3-4 goals against us. So it's too early to relax, nothing has been decided yet.

Cremer: A homeless club in the Champions League is too much. "No one is interested in Dynamo even in Poland, but there are so many Ukrainians living there! Where are all the refugees? There are a lot of them in Austria too. I see Ukrainians in the city all the time, and when they organized rallies, there were more Austrians than Ukrainians. And I don't think it's harsh to say that, because there is an example of Shakhtar, which sold out a stadium in Germany in the Champions League. Probably, different Ukrainians went to different countries.

Farago: This Shaparenko clearly played for a red card today. He behaved defiantly, constantly fouled, not even trying to play the ball. The referee clearly felt sorry for the Ukrainian, although he could have judged more strictly.

Schiendorfer: A great victory. Absolutely deserved. The result of the game. The Ukrainians could have scored, but we could have scored many more goals. But there are a lot of problems in defense. In the main round of the Champions League, the opponents will not forgive such mistakes.

Ellinger: I didn't expect Salzburg to win 2-0. I hoped we wouldn't lose. I thought a draw was a potentially good result for an away match. I can say that Salzburg surprised me. We need to play as confidently in Austria.

Salachner: Salzburg played terribly in defense, but Blasvih helped out at the right time. We were lucky that Dynamo's players were not as technical as the Dutch in the last round. We also need to improve in the attack, especially in terms of realization. We created 5-6 chances, but scored only two goals, one of them from the penalty spot.

Distler: "Salzburg played much stronger, so we could have closed all questions today. For the sake of objectivity, I should also praise the opponent. They had quite a few chances, but our defenders saved the team at the last moment.

Wurmet: It was an amazing match. The Ukrainians created more chances in one match than Twente did in two games. But the Dutch scored 4 goals, and the Ukrainians did not score today. The victory is always pleasing, but the problems in defense are so great that in the Champions League against a conditional Manchester City or Real Madrid there will be a defeat.

Matula: Shaparenko is Dynamo's best player, but he is too emotional. I think that the game plan was to turn him off, including with the help of small provocations. It seems to me that Dedych succeeded in doing so. The Ukrainian began to think more about how to take revenge on our player, and then he was close to being sent off.

Kurt: "Dynamo has a lot of good players, and they proved it today. I don't think we should talk about reaching the main round. If they create as many chances in the return leg and convert them, things could go badly for us.

Steiner: Today, our fans were few in Poland, but each of them was honored by the players' attention, receiving an autograph or a photo as a souvenir. I would also like to say that there were 5-6 thousand Ukrainians at the 15,000-seat stadium, which was surprising. Moreover, they were just sitting in the stands, not supporting the team. Although there were not only women and children, but also many men.

Gappmeier: This match reminded me of the game against Twente in the last qualifying round. Too many mistakes in defense, allowing the opponent to create chances. Fortunately, the Ukrainians do not have players of the same level as Twente. Otherwise, it would have ended badly for us in Poland.

Alois: When people say that Ukrainians don't have money for football, I find it funny. We have read so many news stories about Ukrainian millionaires vacationing in the most expensive resorts, buying castles and yachts. Even in Austria, there are many millionaires from Ukraine. They just spend their money not on football, but on themselves.

Turner: This season, Salzburg looks like the team we love so much. "Dynamo found all of our weaknesses, but miraculously didn't score a single goal. Pep has brought back the joy of watching matches to everyone, but we need to do something about the defense. Even if Dynamo created so many chances, what will happen in matches against Bayern or Real Madrid?

Herbst: It's a funny game. Usually, in such a balanced but wild match, the smarter and more experienced team wins. I was sure that Dynamo would win. But the young Salzburg team was simply faster in attack and defense in crucial situations. If our talented coach brings some stability, something positive can come out of this, but don't think that Dynamo have given up, they will struggle in Austria.

Filler: "Salzburg scored a beautiful and very important goal at a time when Dynamo was playing better. We were lucky that the Ukrainians didn't realize their many opportunities to score. And then there was an accidental penalty, because our player was already running out of the penalty area. I don't want to say that Salzburg didn't deserve to win. But you shouldn't overpraise the team.

Rudolf: It's hard to be homeless. It's clear that Poles support them and there are many refugees there, but still, never being able to play at home is also difficult. First of all, it is a difficult psychological moment. Ukrainians have some sporting aggression, but you can't win on emotions all the time. "Dynamo emphasizes the fact that they play mostly with Ukrainians in the main team, but in reality they simply do not have the money to invite legionnaires and succeed at the international level.
