Werder Bremen were welcomed in Vienna on Wednesday with plenty of respect. Austria Vienna coach Karl Daxbacher said at the official press conference before the Europa League showdown with the Green-Whites that his team was against the wall and absolutely needs a victory.

 

Daxbacher: "The only help for us is a victory"

 

"We want to win since the only thing that helps us for second place in the group is a victory, and we will therefore take certain risks," said the Austria coach, who added: "Claudio Pizarro, Marko Marin and Mesut Özil make up a magical triangle. We cannot let this trio into the game if we want to have a chance."

 

Schaaf: "Plenty is waiting for us"

 

Werder head coach Thomas Schaaf offered compliments right back. "They play really united as a team and run a lot and are very tough. Plenty is waiting for us. In addition, they need to get points if they want to advance," said Schaaf. At the same time, he said he will not make any big changes to his team. "We always want to put the best team on the pitch," said the coach.
