LIVE: FC Admira against TSV Hartberg in ticker – Football

At the national level, the TSV Hartberg is currently the Austrian football team of the hour. The newcomer has played four straight games and, according to the paper, should be added Saturday, fifth success, when he faces Admira in the Bundesliga.

Hartberg is sure

Hartberg coach Markus Schopp does not want to know anything about Südstädter's outside role. "We are against any league favorite team," said the former International. "We know what they are capable of, you can be a troubled enemy, but hey, Admira has a lot of young players with a lot of potential."

In addition, Admira also has a new coach. Reiner Geyer took over from Ernst Baumeister, which complicated the preparations for the match for Schopp. "A coaching change always means a certain amount of unknown, but we still have to fend for ourselves and optimize some things."

However, Styria should not improve too much, as the latest results show. Hartberg is in the top six and quarter-finals of the Cup, but Schopp said, "We did not lose the lead early in the season when the results did not fit, and we will not take off now, because the results are right for us, we can already clbadify this correctly. "

Therefore, the goal given before the start of the season, to do the league, not changed. "But we are not saying that we do not want anymore, it is now time to improve every week and then we will see where our journey will take us," said Schopp.

Admira last in the valley

The last Admira trip was held downhill. On the last ten rounds, the Lower Austrians won only one, the logical consequence being the return to the last place. From there, the neo-supervisor Geyer wants to leave, even if the German is in no hurry. "We have to get away from the table for a while, the bottom line is the table after the last round."

Geyer watched the Hartberger Tuesday at home 4-3 in the Round of 16 Cup against Wacker Innsbruck and saw "a team that knows what it's doing. The 54-year-old was protected against possible tactical and personal changes and only said: "The focus is on working against the ball." This can happen with a chain three or four chains. "
