Football: Storm Graz before the duel with Wacker Innsbruck on the test

Graz / Innsbruck (APA) – Before the Bundesliga home match against Wacker Innsbruck on Saturday, Sturm Graz retreated. As of Thursday noon, the "Blackys" resided in St. Ruprecht on the Raab and were training in Krottendorf. In the isolation of Eastern Styria, however, there was less emphasis on field practice – it was primarily about reworking the recent blows.

In in-depth discussions, root cause research should be conducted, explaining why this has been enough in the last 13 competitive matches to one victory. "It's a concern to spend time together to be able to solve problems," organized coach Heiko Vogel via the club. A press appointment before the match was lifted.

No statement from the German gave him to his personal situation, after all, he is counted as difficult. Nothing but the six points of the next home games against Wacker and St. Pölten would probably leave the Vogel coach chair wobbling properly. According to defense lawyer Lukas Spendlhofer, this should not happen. "We know what it is all about and we must all get back together," explained the 25-year-old athlete.

His coach was found for the last time at 0: 2 in Hartberg's positive approaches. "We did things in this game but we did not get rewarded," said Vogel. "Now we have to turn the dollar against Innsbruck."

The head of the Tyrolean Tables recorded the recent turbulence of the winner of the cup and the finalist in eighth place, but did not want to overestimate. "Sturm has problems, but they have played well, for example in Austria, there is certainly more in the team than the table indicates," said Karl Daxbacher.

At age 65, he is waiting for an opponent who burns for compensation. "I think Sturm will play aggressively from the start and strengthen the duel component, the question is, how are we going to resist that." More recently, it's been 1-1 in Salzburg and 0-0 at home against Austria in duels with top rated teams – also because they were on a stable defensive. "We do not just want to defend, we also want to create opportunities," said Daxbacher.
