TSV Hartberg – FK Austria Vienna, 2: 1 (1: 1)
Referee: Dieter Muckenhammer

Markus Kraetschmer (CFO of FK Austria Wien):
… on the new Covid regulation: “I’m afraid we will have to deal with the issue for a longer time. On the other hand, we did it in the league with the policy with the so-called sports league fund, which allows us to cushion the losses we have with sponsors and box office, which is guaranteed until the end of the year. I hope there is enough money in this pot. (…) We also have to deal with the fact that this will probably last until the first quarter of 2021. If the politicians they deliver on their promises, if this sports league fund can be liquidated, then we should be able to create financially the next few weeks. Of course, it is a life threatening situation for all clubs … For the subsequent damage … ) soccer, like many other industries, faces intensive downsizing in the coming years. “

Peter Stöger (Coach FK Austria Vienna):
… On the separation from Florian Klein: “I really value Florian, as a player and as a person. We had a situation where we had to restructure our team. You may not have had a clarifying conversation with him. I was in contact with his management and if profitability was not a crucial issue for him, I perceived it differently. We brought in two players, the profile we brought in I would say fits very well. It would have been a good fit with Teigl and Suttner. The two of them have known us very, very much in terms of economics. That’s why we could do it, otherwise we couldn’t have done anything. I have no problem with Florian Klein, everyone in the club knows that. During the difficult times that affected him, I said very, very vehemently in fan circles that we did not approve of that at all. I think it’s a bit disappointing because there was no overtime here. In these times it is not so easy, apart from a red group, to constantly exchange ideas with people. There was a lot in the room and in terms of communication it was the case that Teigl and Suttner approached us directly, with the clear step that they want to play here and profitability is not a problem for them. Florian Klein is not the only player that we could not renew for financial reasons ”.

… after the game: “It was a lot for our performance, the first 25 minutes were too short, I’m disappointed for the first time since I’ve been here. It was good in the second half, we had enough chances, but if you give up half an hour like that, you may not deserve to take something away from here. It was slow, calm, everything is easy for the opponent to defend, we were more active in the second half. It was clear that, based on the experiences of the last season and the years before, it would not be a sure success (being there at the top). Today we would have had a chance to stay on top, two reasons why it didn’t work out, or we’re not there yet, or we’re not good enough. “

Florian Klein (ex Austrian):
… in a Sky video report on the Austrian separation: “It was very disappointing, I think it is still not a real exit. There was a conversation before the last games against Hartberg, very good conversations of mine with Peter Stöger. I went on vacation with the idea of ​​extending my stay. It bothers me that this has happened and that there is no longer any contact and that I have not heard anything yet. I don’t want to say that I’m disappointed because then you have to expect something great from someone beforehand. I was the scapegoat, at this stage Markus Kraetschmer was heavily criticized, then Ralf Muhr and then me. I did not have the greatest support from the club’s management. There were so many negative vibes and everyone could have looked at themselves a little bit and didn’t want to be too prominent. I’ve had a lot. I would never have imagined a career ending like this, I’m not ready to give up on my head. In my head, I still want to be active, I want to keep playing, because I think I still have at least two or three years ahead of me. Money is no longer the main motivation, of course it is part of football, you have a short career. I have had a very good career for me. I am happy with my career. I always did everything by myself that satisfied me. Of course, I also had a good contract with Austria, which has been won in recent years. If it doesn’t work then, it is the case that the players get fat that maybe they are higher in the hierarchy. “

Walter Kogler (television expert):
… On the game: “You can trust Dario Tadic. Victory is very, very important to Hartberg. With the victory, Hartberg has a chance to come back well. Austria had a chance to score a point with them today, perhaps to win. Both teams have neutralized each other, Austria seized fewer opportunities than Hartberger. “

Andreas Herzog (television expert):
… On the decisive goal: “A perfect free kick (by Dario Tadic). A wonderful free kick and a very important victory for Hartberger. “
