Touré wants Slovan on the ball, but LASK's two forwards are seriously quick: one-on-one with a defender, they are gone.
“„Vniesol do Slovana modernú futbalovú dominanciu – aktívny štýl hry.”"He brought modern football dominance to Slovan: an active style of play. our translation
“Können Moses Usor und Samuel Adeniran tatsächlich gehalten werden, werden die beiden pfeilschnellen Stürmer auch heuer vielen Bundesliga-Verteidigern Albträume bereiten.”If Moses Usor and Samuel Adeniran really can be kept, the two lightning-quick forwards will again give many Bundesliga defenders nightmares this year. our translation
LASK are slight favourites, and do not assume Slovan's eleven from last time: Yaya Touré keeps changing it and throws in teenagers from the club's own academy. LASK defend with three centre-backs and push the two wide players right up the pitch, so those two do both jobs. At home Slovan take over the middle of the pitch, but they miss a lot of what they make, and they needed luck to reach this stage at all.
“Fanúšik Slovana sa zároveň môže pravidelne tešiť na novú tvár v zostave, ktorej dá Yaya Touré priestor ukázať sa a presvedčiť o svojich kvalitách.”At the same time, a Slovan fan can regularly look forward to a new face in the line-up, to whom Yaya Touré gives room to show himself and prove his qualities. our translation

“Hostia herne dominovali, ovládli stred poľa a spálili ďalšie množstvo obrovských šancí.”The visitors dominated the game, controlled midfield and burned through yet more huge chances. our translation
Šport.sk, Ivan Mriška, 27 Jul 2026
“Jeho herný prejav v Slovinsku kríval na obe nohy. Všetci sme čakali niečo lepšie.”Its display in Slovenia limped on both legs. We had all expected something better. our translation
Pundits are split on how deep they defend: some say they defend high up the pitch, others that they hold a line in the middle.
“Die Gastgeber übernahmen früh die Kontrolle und drängten die Grazer tief in deren Hälfte.”The hosts took control early and pushed Graz deep into their own half. our translation
“Der LASK musste dafür nicht permanent hoch pressen. Vielmehr wechselte die Mannschaft zwischen kompakten Phasen im mittleren Block und aggressivem Anlaufen, sobald sich eine Gelegenheit zur Balleroberung ergab.”LASK did not have to press high all the time. Instead the team switched between compact spells in a mid-block and aggressive pressing whenever a chance to win the ball arose. our translation
They want the ball as much as they can get it.
“Tento spôsob hry sa páči aj útočníkovi Slovana Mykolovi Kucharevičovi: „Hráme intezívne, fyzicky. Tvrdo sme pracovali, aby sme tak vedeli hrať. Páči sa mi to, pretože chceme mať čo najviac loptu."”Slovan forward Mykola Kucharevič likes this way of playing too: "We play intensely, physically. We worked hard to be able to play like that. I like it, because we want to have the ball as much as possible." our translation
