The year 2021 has been perfect for SK Rapid so far.
Hütteldorfer was able to win the previous three Bundesliga games, including against direct rivals like Sturm Graz and on Sunday at LASK (final score: 2: 1, match report >>>), they were able to win four games in a row over the year, the The competitive game’s fifth win is held in a series against LASK and, as second in the table, it extends the lead over Sturm and LASK to five and six points respectively.
Furthermore, they are still only one point behind the series champion, RB Salzburg. The last time the SCR scored 33 points in 15 rounds was 16 years ago in the 2004/05 championship season with coach Josef Hickersberger. It is forbidden to take off with the Hütteldorfer, but it is permissible to dream if you hear the words of coach Didi Kühbauer on “Sky”.
“That we beat a tough opponent is certainly a nice dream today, the boys will have a nice dream too. But it continues again, it works again. It was a good performance again, that’s more important to me.”
The title of the hit US band Journey “Don’t Stop Believing” could become Rapid’s motto for the rest of the season. “Yes, dreaming is great,” Kühbauer admits. “I hope to dream today, because I have not had that the last nights anyway, that would not be bad. It is very nice what the boys do, what we do as a team, but there are still some games left.” to go before the championship tiebreaker, then the points are counted again. Stay tuned and keep showing what we are doing now. “
Annex regarding the sporting goals for the rest of the season: “Dreaming can be a problem, but now I prefer it while I sleep.”
Rapid cracked the LASK code again: “I really liked it”
A joint performance by the team was decisive for the Green-Whites series to also stop at Pasching in LASK. With five wins in a row against Stahlstädter, it appears that Kühbauer has cracked the LASK code. The magic word “mirror” made it possible to deactivate the opponent’s strengths by copying the system once again.
“We knew exactly what was going on here. We implemented it from minute one to minute 94 in such a way that LASK had very few options, we should have decided the game even earlier. This is a fight, not a good game.” The ball is very often in the air, but the boys have adapted very well. I really liked that ”, analyzed the blue and white coach.
Not even the changes sidetracked the Viennese, who were recently frustrated by the success. With Maximilian Hofmann the head of defense was missing, with Dejan Ljubicic the captain and shooter in midfield, and Yusuf Demir was also unavailable. But alternate captain Srdjan Grahovac, Leo Greiml and Koya Kitagawa submitted and delivered.
“They have shown that we are a great group”
Even Kühbauer would not have suspected that Abräumer Grahovac would be among the scorers, after all it was his first goal since Rapid’s return in January 2019: “I was also surprised that Graho pulls the trigger. He actually has other functions, but I don’t too. you get mad if he scores. That helped us a lot. “
Grahovac was also happy that the knot was untied in this game. “I am proud of my team, everyone has fought for everyone. I haven’t scored a goal since I came back. Today I spoke with Petrovic that today would be the right time. But you can’t plan.”
Unlike Grahovac, Christoph Knasmüllner even has a career, once again this season. The 28-year-old decided the game with his goal, and he has also scored in all three spring games so far and has seven league goals in eleven appearances with just one less than Ercan Kara.
“A close win. It looks good, but we have to look from game to game. We have shown again that we are a great group, but we have to keep the ball on the ground,” Knasmüllner said cheerfully. Things are going well for him. “It works, I’m very happy to be able to help the team.” No more. Having your feet on the ground could play an important role in the coming weeks, so that dreams can take off into the sky.
