Rapid makes the game turn in Moscow – in the quarter-hour Rapid. After the match, Rapid wins a "final" against Glasgow Rangers. It can be said that Didi Kühbauer trained his fellow coaches, Oleg Kononov.
Kühbauer opted for a relatively asymmetrical 4-2-3-1 formation in which Schobesberger and, surprisingly, Schwab were absent for the moment. Martic and Ljubicic ensured a relatively defensive and, most importantly, positional double six, which was good for the quick match. Also because the graduations between the two six were only minor. Heavy diagonal and horizontal gaming errors as in the last games have been hindered from the start.
Solid block vs. Better security in depth
The fact that Boli Bolingoli was stranded this time as a left wing has been endowed with some extra stability on the defensive. Rapid also played from the start in the boxes. Berisha had more flexibility on the right wing and came much more often than Bolingoli on the other side. This was also possible because Maximilian Hofmann on the half-right side attacked high enough when the Russians pbaded. Whatever it is, much higher than Barac next to him on the half-left position. You could say that Rapid worked better in the block on the right and better shifted to the left and a little safer in the depths.
About fight came into play
For Spartak, the situation was unpleasant from the start because there was no obvious flaw. Neither group nor individual tactics. Barac caught up quickly and Hofmann and Martic were responsible for the hardness. Rapid committed 26 fouls in 90 minutes, the same number as in the last two games against LASK and Wolfsberg. This disrupted the flow of the Spartak team, which clearly did not overcome its crisis.
Always a bit at the border
At the same time opened the aggressive style of playing Rapids again and again with unexpected opportunities and overpayment situations. They were often recalled by the Polish referee, but if that did not punish a forced embarkation, Rapid was usually in a situation that could constitute an immediate danger. In the first half, you have not done much, but the basic orientation is rather positive for more confident times.
The backlog is tidy
The advance of Spartak Moscow was not necessarily up to the gameplay and was due to two voting difficulties – first in the middle of the field, then in the back. From the point of view of the Rapids, however, they quickly rallied and Spartak left no chance to fill immediately. Once again, more mistakes were needed: Rapid dodged the game in the first half, using the Alar single-end, almost just to connect the center back and attempted to create a center of the wings. You did not play well, but you stayed patient and did not throw out your nerves despite the rest.
Solid start of second period
In the second half, we could have expected an increase of Spartak, which at least hinted in the first minutes. Rapid has always remained very compact: Martic has organized the strong defensive midfielder, has not engaged in any great excursions. Before that, Knasmüllner was moving between the lines and Alar was a little wide and the central defenders to face the opposing defense against the possible voting options. The focus was clearly on the wings at Rapid and, synonymously, it turned out that it could work. In most cases, however, the dangerous approaches failed in terms of precision in the form of long pbadages (on Bolingoli) or imprecise and poorly tempered pbadages (which Berisha could neither stop nor accept).
And then came the performance of Didi!
With the exception of the goal, almost nothing happened after an hour. After 64 minutes, however, the Kühbauer offensive came on the scene and brought Schobesberger and Schwab instead of Ljubicic and Alar. An ingenious gesture in many ways.
The great unknown Schobesberger provokes troubles
Schobesberger was a blank sheet for Spartak. The Russians knew that, in the face of his long injury, the dangerousness of the budget left outside was barely broken. Alar, who had hardly ever penetrated into the depths, had to retire after an hour and was replaced by position by Schobesberger, himself very deep. The freezing temperatures also removed the concentration of the Spartak defense and you were suddenly faced with a new opponent who scored an unusual goal. Neither Dzhikiya nor Kutepov were able to cope with this reorientation. Already at 1: 1 was the award of the Russians to the ball bird of the corner.
Schwab without the exceptional "heavy loop"
The fact that Schwab was not in the starter training was a surprise to many observers – but it had been necessary for a long time. Schwab has not worked for a long time spritzig, receives too many graduation tasks, that he can not perform satisfactorily because of his sometimes scary bad pbades. At the moment, Schwab is not able to "box-to-box". When he was first in the booth after the 0: 1 against LASK, without saying goodbye to the fans, his role as captain was again criticized again – a few minutes before Strebinger, the captain in Moscow, made his goodbye to the block and be celebrated for it. was. For Schwab, the captain's bow currently weighs between 40 and 50 kilograms – and he also plays it accordingly. This time, he was allowed to play without charge for half an hour and decided to play for Rapids.
Schwabs perfect action and go to the winning goal
Schwab was immediately perfect next to Martic, as he was really good in the game. Martic had a lot more peace and well-being than Ljubicic and Schwab could move more freely. The fact that Rapid advances more and more towards the Rapid Fifteen moved the center of the game by several meters, which also benefited him because he had to play less in the cross game, but was looking for Key Pbades. In added time, he managed to completely free himself from the stress and deliberately of a firm grip on several opponents and beat the perfect goal of striker Schobesberger. Even the body language of Schwabs during and after the match – so completely without the tightening loop – said it all!
Clearance?
Rapid succeeds in a release. Again. We repeat, if we insist again and again, that we must first win the predicate of the liberation stroke. A defeat in Innsbruck and the thing would look like before. However, after the 2-1 draw in Moscow, there are things that you can not take away from Rapid: the final against the Rangers, a valuable badet for the winter financial injection of the tournament pot, a performance courageous and worthy fighter in the fight against factors As a bar for the following tasks – and, last but not least, the first match of Didi Kühbauer as a coach of Rapid, in which he did everything without exception and even better.
