The Red Bull Salzburg Post

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match25 Sep 2027

Red Bull Salzburg run riot against Grodig

4‑1, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Squad27 Sep 2027

Edmund Baidoo takes the match ball home

3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Match27 Sep 2027

Red Bull Salzburg are in among the leaders

Position 3 and 18 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Player ratings27 Sep 2027

Edmund Baidoo, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 8.57

A mark of 8.57 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Match25 Sep 2027

Nobody wants to play Red Bull Salzburg right now

3 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Squad27 Sep 2027

Edmund Baidoo is the real thing at 21

A season average of 7.06 at an age when most of his year group are still in the youth team. Red Bull Salzburg know what they have, and so, by now, does everybody else.

Squad27 Sep 2027

A falling-out at Red Bull Salzburg

Dominik Schmid and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout27 Sep 2027

The manager makes an example of Michael Lienhart

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad27 Sep 2027

A row about effort at Red Bull Salzburg

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Clement Bischoff was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The Red Bull Salzburg Post

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match18 Sep 2027

Red Bull Salzburg silence Rapid Wien

A derby is never about the football alone, but the football helped: 1‑0, and the away end emptied early. Bragging rights renewed for another season.

Match19 Sep 2027

Red Bull Salzburg announce themselves in Europe

4‑0 against Olimpija Ljubljana, on a night that will be replayed at this club for a generation. Continental reputations are made in single evenings and this was the evening.

The dugout20 Sep 2027

Grégoire Coudert: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Red Bull Salzburg have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market20 Sep 2027

Frans Krätzig asks to leave Red Bull Salzburg

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Player ratings20 Sep 2027

Both of them Edmund Baidoo's — 8.64

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.64, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings20 Sep 2027

A derby belongs to Clement Bischoff

Beat anybody else and it is three points. Beat them and it is a story a city tells for a decade. Red Bull Salzburg have their man.

Squad20 Sep 2027

Real improvement from Matteo Bignetti at Red Bull Salzburg

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Matteo Bignetti is 23, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad20 Sep 2027

Michael Lienhart signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Michael Lienhart and Red Bull Salzburg agree another 3 years.

Squad20 Sep 2027

Words at Red Bull Salzburg training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Grégoire Coudert is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
