SC Rheindorf Altach vs Southampton – Key Talking Points

Finding the Missing Pieces

it’s been a strong start to the summer window for Hasenhüttl. The final third of the pitch looks to be taking shape nicely as new boys Adams and Moussa Djenepo put pen to paper.

That said, there is still plenty of time for the gaffer to bring in more new recruits while shipping out those that don’t meet the standard. The forthcoming test should give management staff further insight into areas that need strengthening and those that are good to go.

Admittedly, it can be tricky for an outsider to glean useful information from these exhibition affairs, but to the season prose of the game it’s key to understanding where the players are physically and mentally.

Given last term’s back line fragility it’s highly likely that new defensive recruits are sought. Even so, a new campaign means a new opportunity for previous under-performers to showcase their wares and prove their worthiness.

With early tests like this, comes the Chance to work on technique, and put new setups through trial and error.
