We have the votes for the game.

Admire – SK Rapid Vienna 0: 1 (0: 1)
Referee: Manuel Schüttengruber

Dietmar Kühbauer (SK Rapid Vienna coach):
… On the game and playing zero: “If you roll a three and you play zero, that keeps us in the top group and it was a wonderful day for us. It’s wonderful for the team, we didn’t achieve much this season, but we scored more goals. If we can find our balance again in the spring, it would be even better. “

… On the achievements of SK Rapid Wien in 2020: “I know you always have stress at Rapid, but it is still the best club where you can work. When you have a small valley, people think that something is not working for us. But I think when you see what the guys have done with us this year, finishing second, having the best points average in the fall, being in the Europa League, I think that speaks for the team. . We are at the limit and that is why I am happy for today’s victory and the statistics. “

… on a possible contract extension: “Everything happens by itself and I can only say that I am very happy with the team, but I don’t worry about it.”

… On a new mindset at Rapid: “The problem was that they were looking for mistakes in Rapid, but we have offered little open space for attack in the last six months. Didi Kühbauer doesn’t offer anything either. Nor will I be a target of attack next year. “

Marcel Ritzmaier (SK Rapid Wien):
… On the game: “With a 1-0 win you are always on the edge, of course, but I think as a team we performed well both on offense and defense and it was a deserved victory. It’s good for morale and so that we can go into winter break with a positive feeling we can take advantage of it. We have always believed in ourselves and we have a very good team spirit, that was another exclamation point today. “

Thorsten Schick (SK Rapid Vienna):
… About the game: “I will also take a dirty 1-0, the important thing is that we won the game. There are also more beautiful nights, but today it was important to end the year well and go to winter holidays with a threesome. We had our hearts in the right place and from the first moment you could see that we wanted to win the game. The table is not so bad with all three and that is a satisfaction for us. In the last few weeks we have had a few hits on the lid, but everyone can look at the table, the season is still long and we are fully involved. You will be billed at the end. “

… On the mood within the team: “Taxi gave Ercan a flank today and they hugged, so that speaks for the team. See you in the new year, the season is still long and we still have a lot to do ”.

Zoran Barisic (General Manager Sport SK Rapid Wien) before the game:
… On Taxiarchis Fountas: “There are disagreements in all the families. It is important that they say that, then shake hands and can speak sensibly and respect each other again, that is the most important thing. I don’t want to say anything about the management of Fountas. Of course, it is not beneficial. Supply determines demand. He is a very valuable player for us. It’s not that we really want to ditch the taxi. “

… On the current situation of the SK Rapid Wien team: “We are currently in a phase where we have to cross a valley, but that happens to all teams. The 2020s were incredibly exhausting. Everyone who works at Rapid had to go beyond their limits. You always have to analyze at certain intervals anyway. I am convinced that we will master it. “

… about a possible gap with LASK that needs to be closed: “LASK is a good example of the fact that you can pursue a concept long term. He has done a lot of good in the last five years. It is important to us that we look at ourselves and succeed together in the future. My goal is for us, like Rapid, to find our DNA and take it to the field. “

Andreas Herzog (television expert):
… On the performance and current state of the SK Rapid Wien team: “You dominated the game from the start and put in a very good performance. The only negative was that they were only 1-0 up, you can lose that until the end. Otherwise, the performance was perfect. Except for the last four or five games, they were better than last year in terms of play. “

… on a possible contract extension for Dietmar Kühbauer: “I think if you look at the last two years and what Didi has gotten from the team, there is really nothing to consider.”

… On Admira’s performance: “With the catastrophic start and the change of coach, you entered a negative spiral from which it is difficult to get out. Today you can see again against an opponent like Rapid that they were too passive. Too little life, in my opinion. For me, that is not the level of the Bundesliga. “

Marc Janko (TV Expert):
… about possible changes in Admira: “Of course, you can write a letter to the Infant Jesus, but I believe that the Infant Jesus in the southern part of the city is currently out of commission. There is probably no money. There will be no reinforcements. It is positive that they are holding on to Buric. I don’t think there will be reinforcements in winter. “
