Do you still remember September 19, 2019? The church bells rang in Wolfsberg. What happened? WAC had won the Europa League against Borussia Mönchengladbach 4-0. It was the biggest misfortune in Europe for the five-time German soccer champion. Rotterdam has been the new pilgrimage site for WAC supporters since Thursday.
“Everyone is ashamed zich zo goed mogelijk”, everyone is ashamed of themselves as much as they can. This saying also applies to Feyenoord Rotterdam from Thursday afternoon.
The idiotic penalties of Rotterdam
The 2002 UEFA Cup winner (3-2 against Borussia Dortmund), the 1970 national champion with Viennese award-winner Ernst Happel, set a negative record in his own completely empty “De Kuip” stadium. In 13 minutes, Rotterdam had conceded 2 penalty goals. The Rotterdam team outdid themselves. On October 24, 2019, he received 2 penalties in 28 minutes in EL’s match against Young Boys Bern. This topic must be resubmitted in October 2021 …
A historic home bankruptcy for the Feyenoord
Joking apart. “Feyenoord too little,” declared the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf on Friday, “you can’t do it without your legions.” This is the name of the passionate supporters of the Rotterdamers who were initially blocked by Corona. “A night to forget quickly,” the Feyenoord editorial team tweeted after the 1: 4 (0: 2). “Dubious penalties helped Wolfsberg defeat Feyenoord,” wrote the football-oranje.com portal after the 15-time Dutch Europa League champion. Until now, a 1: 2 against AS Roma represented this negative value. Under the old name of the UEFA Cup competition, it was the legendary 0: 3 against VfB Stuttgart (first leg: 3: 1) on September 29, 1998, which entered the club’s record.
So now Wolfsberg. Feyenoord had only lost twice to Austrian clubs in their glorious European Cup history. 1: 2 at Sturm Graz in the CL 2000 standings (second leg: 1: 1) and of course the legendary 0: 3 at Rapid Vienna in the 1995/96 cup champions competition. With this success, the Hütteldorfer reached the final in Brussels on April 18, 1996. A piece of the history of the Austrian Cup!
Bad timing, Liendl?
Standout Michael Liendl (35) now played a decisive role in WAC’s next hussar coup with 3 goals on Thursday. Liendl, this name still rings in the ears of Borussia Mönchengladbach fans. And not just because the Graz man once played for Rhenish rival Fortuna Düsseldorf (2014/2015). The team’s 10-time player had dispatched 2 goals from Shon Weissman and Mario Leitgeb in Gladbach’s biggest home defeat in the Europa League. In the end, the Wolfsbergers shocked the traditional Lower Rhine club. UEFA reporter Johannes Sturm was later shocked: “You must not forget that Wolfsberger AC is a club from a city with 25,000 inhabitants that has never played a game in a group stage of the European Cup. ”
