What can Madsen offer Jindřich Trpišovský against LASK Linz, for whom he played?

Danish national player Mads Emil Madsen, who plays for SK Slavia Praha, played 24 competitive games for LASK Linz last season. He can now use this experience in the eighth round of the European Conference League.

The European Conference League draw pits Slavia Prague and LASK Linz from Austria against each other. For Jindřich Trpišovský this was his second dream choice after AS Rome. Why? The main reason is Mads Emil Madsen.

This footballer worked for the Austrian club last season. This experience may now come in handy so that Jindřich Trpišovský can thoroughly prepare his charges for the important eighth round. Madsen has played 24 competitive matches for Linz and knows the current coach of the club.

“I am happy. I think for me this is the most interesting team we could play against in the Conference League, so I’m happy. I wanted LASK Linz to make it to the eight finals,” says Mads Emil Madsen to the club website.

The player revealed about his former employer that he plays very good football. They use gegenpressing tactics. This means that as soon as the team loses the ball, everyone runs after it. The team is very tight.

LASK Linz presents a very emphatic and physical game. They try to play on kicks and long balls. They’re not afraid to go to the scrum. Let’s see how this information will help Trpišovský to prepare his team for the double match.

Mads Emil Madsen considers the current captain to be Linz’s biggest star: “We played against a former captain when we played Feyenoord, his name is Gernot Trauner. But now the captain is Alexander Schlager, who is a great goalkeeper and a member of the national team.”

As for the confidence in progression, Jindřich Trpišovský didn’t want to answer directly during his interview. He said that he would see during the match. But Madsen is clear. Slavia Prague will definitely advance, he said.
