Player in the ÖFB national team: LASK as the engine of the Bundesliga

The fact that he was a representative of the Austrian Bundesliga as Sturm’s coach for a long time was nothing like Franco Foda when he was appointed in autumn 2017. But on the contrary.

Nor can the German be accused of not monitoring the candidates employed in the House of Lords at home since then.

There is hardly any way to avoid the qualitative and, meanwhile, also quantitative superiority of the legionnaires, and if he did, he led for a long time via Salzburg and recently also via Linz.

The fact that four LASK kickers are on the field at the same time during the test in Luxembourg is quite remarkable, even if you consider that there was a B-Elf in action at best.

After all, the Linzers do manage to put candidates in the position, which can only be said in a limited way about some traditional clubs at the moment.

Schlager: “That means the level of the league is rising.”

Former Salzburg Xaver Schlager, who now plays in Wolfsburg with former LASK coach Oliver Glasner, who laid the foundation for the upward trend in Linz, pays his respects:

“LASK is doing a very good job, representing Austria very well in the Europa League. This is because the players develop very well and continue to improve. It is very good when more and more players from the Austrian league are in the national team. national”. Because that means the level of the league is rising. You have to see that something is just developing in Austria. “

In November 2017, Foda’s premiere was raised against Uruguay. Since then, Bundesliga teams have put one or the other candidate in position. A review of the situation of the table football players of the House of Lords at home in the Foda era:

FC RED BULL SALZBURG:

Stefan lainer	12	1
Xaver Schlager	eleven	1
Andreas Ulmer	sixteen
Cican Stankovic	4
Maximilian wöber	1

The fact that the series champion is the most trusted provider of domestic players in the Foda era is not particularly surprising. This underscores the number of missions alone.

In addition, several other players with RBS’s past frolic in the squad, the much-cited “Red Bull Brothers”, many of whom such as Martin Hinteregger, Marcel Sabitzer, Stefan Ilsanker, Valentino Lazaro or the currently injured Konrad Laimer even left the club. before the inauguration of the have left the current team leader.

In the summer, Xaver Schlager and Stefan Lainer also made it to the German Bundesliga. Since then, Salzburg’s share of the ÖFB squad has decreased quantitatively.

When it comes to deployment time, veteran Andreas Ulmer in particular keeps the flags high. Cican Stankovic was in pole position for the regular spot at the ÖFB gate last fall, but has not been used since, initially due to injury and eventually due to the crown test. Alexander Schlager had preference in the opening game of the Nations League in September.

If not? As a Salzburg kicker, Maximilian Wöber only played one role under Foda, in November 2019 in the qualifying game for the European Championship in Latvia.

Albert Vallci would have made his debut in Luxembourg, but the chaos of the crown tests also got in his way.

LASK:

Name	LS as a LASK kicker in the Swot era	Tearing
Gernot Trauner	2	1
Alexander Schlager	3
Thomas goiginger	1
Reinhold ranftl	4
Philipp Wiesinger	1
Hussein Balic	1

Most of the playing time under Foda has logically dusted off Salzburg, but LASK has shown the most different players since the Luxembourg match, in which Philipp Wiesinger and Hussein Balic debuted.

Meanwhile, with the two rookies Gernot Trauner and Reinhold Ranftl, there were even four LASK kickers on the field at the same time, which, with the exception of Salzburg, was a huge exception in recent ÖFB history from the perspective of the Bundesliga.

With goalkeeper Alexander Schlager, Linz even had another player on the squad who pressed the bench for 90 minutes. The fact that Wolfsburg Legionnaire Pavao Pervan, a LASK veteran, was guarding the door instead fits the picture.

With Ullmann the debut of another former player from Upper Austria was scheduled.

Thomas Goiginger had his chance at ÖFB a year ago and now has to fight after a torn cruciate ligament. Marko Raguz, who definitely has the potential for higher tasks, is about to do the same. Some also attest to this to Peter Michorl, whose standard arts could be an enrichment.

If all of the established ÖFB personnel are available, most Linz representatives, with the exception of Schlager, have little chance of deployment.

However, it is remarkable how many players in LASK have matured to a level where they are at least a problem for Foda.

SK STURM GRAZ:

Deni Alar	2
Jörg Siebenhandl	2
Stefan Hierländer	3
Peter zulj	9

As is well known, Foda went from SK Sturm to ÖFB, so it is not surprising that he bet on trusted kickers, especially at the beginning of his tenure.

Deni Alar, Jörg Siebenhandl, Stefan Hierländer and Peter Zulj debuted in the first games of the Foda as team leader, Siebenhandl, Hierländer and Zulj, curiously, even helped to make their international debut in the same match, specifically in the 4-0 victory in Luxembourg in March 2018.

Of the former protégés, however, only Zulj was able to establish himself more sustainably, and only temporarily. After the move to RSC Anderlecht, the midfield strategist’s ÖFB thread snapped a bit, which is a shame as Zulj was an advantage to the ÖFB game before that.

In a guest appearance in Luxembourg this week, he returned to the pitch with the national team after a long hiatus, but was still plagued with early problems.

Siebenhandl was also part of the game as the third goalkeeper, but has now returned to Graz.

SK RAPID WIEN:

Name	LS as a fast kicker in the Swot era	Tear
Louis Schaub	4	2
Stefan schwab	1
Richard Strebinger	1

Without Louis Schaub, the story of Rapid’s representatives on Foda’s national team would quickly be told.

Stefan Schwab got a minute in November 2017 when the German made his debut against Uruguay and was not nominated after that. However, he has not given up on the dream of the national team and is now fighting for his ÖFB shot as a PAOK legionnaire.

Richard Strebinger was called up for the test in Denmark in the fall of 2018, but then increasingly lost ground to his competing goalkeepers, who are also primarily involved in the Bundesliga. In recent weeks he even lost his usual place in Hütteldorf and was the second choice behind Paul Gartler.

Wretched Maximilian Ullmann, who would have celebrated his Luxembourg debut without Corona’s chaos as Vallci. Yusuf Demir and Ercan Kara were on guard recently so there is hope for better green-white times for red-white-red, especially super talent Demir should not be around in the medium term.

The last Rapidler to really get noticed in the ÖFB dress was Schaub, when he had a real career in fall 2017 and spring 2018 and scored five goals in six international matches. Some of these missions fell in the Foda era.

After his transfer to Germany, the offensive player had less and less time.

FK AUSTRIA VIENNA:

Christoph Monschein	1

The story of the Austrian representatives in Foda’s national team is quickly told.

Christoph Monschein’s ten minutes played in 2: 3 September against Romania were the only ones for an Austrian under the direction of the 54-year-old.

The best hope for the future? Currently Patrick Wimmer.

Foda appreciates the potential of the 19-year-old, otherwise he would not put him on the A-Team list, even though he has yet to play a match for the U21s. This should definitely be seen as a sign.
