In the summer, the Austrian Seriemeister had to cope with the departures of the athletes Wanderson, Konrad Laimer and Valentino Lazaro and got a new coach with Marco Rose. Continuity is not necessarily given to the bulls, but the quality of the squad makes it possible to get away year after year without any major sporting losses. The financially strong Salzburg citizens were still unable to qualify for the international competition. Instead you have to go back to the Europa League and have already won some successes, such as the round of 16 in the season 2013/14 after a magnificent group phase of six victories in six games. The current group stage started with a draw in Portugal at Guimaraes and a deserved victory against Olympique Marseille.
In the league the homework against the small teams were always done, but against the direct competition in the top field, there was still something with the results. The only defeat of the season had the Bulls against Table Leader Sturm Graz. Against the Viennese big clubs Rapid and Austria the games ended with a draw. Many already labeled them as a defect, especially the 25-year-old Israeli Munas Dabbur showed so far with good performances and many goals. With nine goals, he leads the scoreline list in the Austrian Bundesliga and has the critics silenced. Coach Marco Rose had put great trust in him and said to the success of his striker: “I’ve said from the start that he has quality – now he shows that as well. That is, damn the rose was right! “Even in the last game against LASK, the Israeli was the decisive man. After an early deficit, Valon Berish equaled a penalty in the 27th minute, before Munas Dabbur made a double strike in the 74th and 78th minute to the matchwinner in the 3-1 away win.
