For Rapid latecomer Marcel Ritzmaier, the ÖFB Cup debut was perfect. The midfielder on loan from Barnsley FC played with two dream goals and proved to be a real reinforcement for the Vienna-Hütteldorf Green and Whites.
>> Match report: 1. Wiener Neustädter SC vs Rapid Wien
Following the 5-1 ÖFB Cup win against Wiener Neustadt, one Rapid player in particular was beaming. Marcel Ritzmaier showed himself with two wonderful goals in his first competitive match for Hütteldorfer and made a very decent debut for the Austrian champions. Above all, his direct free kick from more than 20 meters made the green and white hearts beat faster. In an interview with the “Krone” he let his emotions run.
“It was a good test for me”
When asked about his dream debut, Marcel Ritzmaier smiled: “First with feeling, then with force. When the balls fall like this, it is much better, it was the same in training.” The first baptism of fire with the green and white jersey was more than successful for the former WAC player: “It was a good test for me to get to know the team even better. The automatisms were already there.”
The Rapid Didi Kühbauer manager was also more than satisfied with his new signing, but signaled with a smile that he would not immediately fall for praise: “You shouldn’t use two dream goals as a criterion. I hope his dust hasn’t failed.”
