Vienna (APA) – The battle for six places in the Bundesliga league match gives an unexpected image just after half-time of the base round. With St. Pölten, WAC and TSV Hartberg meet after Saturday's games of the 12th inning of the last and last season before last and a climber in the top 6. At Hartberg, morale is ad.
The TSV beat a week after the Rapid (3: 0) the next club and is after the 2: 0 derby against Sturm Graz, even the number one in Styria. "We can take advantage of the moment." The team wanted to confirm the result against Rapid, because after the match 3-0, we mainly talked about the weakness of Rapid, which has tarnished the team, said the Hartberg coach Markus Schopp.
The coach praised his players after defeating his old club. "The team is still focused, really hungry," said Schopp after the third consecutive victory thanks to Rajko Rep's double (57., 89.). "We have played very well lately and we are all very happy," said the winner of the match in the atmosphere that reigned in East Styria.
Christoph Kröpfl, not the only player with a stormy past, also spoke of the exaltation. "The victories against Rapid and Sturm, against two teams as big, it's a dream … At this moment, we dare to do a lot, the band has an incredible harmony," said the midfielder, who now has a lot of self-confidence with colleagues. "We are playing bravely forward, no matter what the opponent calls," he said.
The climber has moved with the three consecutive wins in the top 6 storm. The runner-up must tremble after only two points in five games and at the start in the decisive match as Rapid. "Of course, we feel the pressure, our boys have to learn how to handle it, of course we do not have any sense of achievement either," said coach Heiko Vogel, who has now called for undeniable victories. "Two home matches follow, now six points are mandatory," he said before the matches against Innsbruck and St. Pölten.
His team also had bad luck with three slats, but Vogel instead spoke of "fatal mistakes". "We had too much defense in the defensive and offensive areas, it works like a thread through the season, you just have to stop the long-term first-half goalkeeper," he said.
Self-criticism also expressed the crew. "We have a lot of opportunities that we have not exploited, nor are we able to play from scratch, we are talking about these problems all the time, but speaking does not help at all now. only the number of points counts, "said Fabian Koch Klartext." We just did not do enough for the match, "said goalkeeper Joerg Siebenhandl.
Further west, another representative of the Big Four is disputed with a lean record. Austria has failed to ward off the danger of the match for a defense-oriented starter. Statisticians scored a goal after 0: 0 at Wacker Innsbruck. The fall after a corner of the head of defender Christian Schoissengeyr already in the 6th minute. Subsequently, the Viennese were again uncontrolled during the attack.
The lack of creative moments shows in Austria for weeks. Since mid-September, only three goals have been scored in six league games. The defense is compact, which participants have repeatedly emphasized as positive. Front injured in the absence of Alon Turgeman, Bright Edomwonyi and now little Alexander Grünwald, injured. Dominik Prokop, Ewandro and Kevin Friesenbichler tried unsuccessfully at Tivoli in Innsbruck. Even though coach Thomas Letsch complained that his opponent had done little for the match: his castlings have not yet touched.
"On the points, we are well below expectations," acknowledged the German. 18 scorers in 12 rounds with 11 goals scored and 11 goals scored are the bare numbers. Austria started with the goal of inspiring their fans. Unlike Rapid or Sturm Graz, the "Violets" are currently fourth, at least in the upper parts. For Letsch, however, the table is not so important. The important thing is that we get results. "A possibility is Tuesday night." Austria receives the Floridsdorfer AC in the round of 16 of the ÖFB Cup and will want to draw on the frustration of the soul.
