Lechia Gdansk coach found Rapid Wien’s weakness
The coach emphasized that Lechia is not going to lose, but will fight and advance to the next round. “This is our position,” he said. The coach noted that Rapid Vienna has strengthened before the season and hopes that the team has not gone astray yet. - They recently played the cup with a team from the third league, and it was not easy for them, and they only scored in the 94th minute. Indeed, such a lack of teamwork can play into our hands, but I wouldn’t count on it too much, because great players play there,” he stressed.

Also at the conference was David Steck, who has several seasons on the fields of the Austrian Bundesliga on his resume and has already competed with Rapid Wien in the past in matches for the stake. - Their league is definitely different from the Polish one. I think it will be a much faster match, because that’s how they play in Austria: there is little time to think, you have to act very quickly,” the player said.
Stack emphasized that their rivals have a large individual class of individual players that they will have to keep an eye on. “We will have to play as a team and not get into an open fight,” he explained. The match between Lechia Gdansk and Rapid Vienna in the second qualifying round of the European Conference League will take place on Thursday at. 19:00.
