Heaven votes for Saturday

Sturm Graz – SKN St. Pölten 3-0

Christian Ilzer (Sturm’s coach): “If we exclude the immediate opening phase, we really played a very good game until 1-0 and we also found good football solutions for the difficult place. Then St. Pölten changed something in the basic order. It became a really intense game where we have loosened a bit with the lead. That continued through the break and it was a razor’s edge game at this stage. But at the moment we have this race that allows us to come out unscathed in these stages. He plays impressively all fall. “

To the table situation: “It is a very good intermediate result, but it is important for us that we not only sit and look at the tables, but also enjoy the Christmas holidays for a short time, but then we focus a lot on what needs to be developed. There is much. “

Robert Ibertsberger (SKN-Trainer) via Sky: “After the 1-0 we were better inside again. Especially in the second half, where I already think we scored the tie. The 2-0 was a bit killer also in the head. You noticed it because we were in. I have invested a lot. two slight turnovers at 1-0 and 2-0 give Sturm Graz counterattack opportunities. That’s too frivolous and maybe even a little naive.

Jakob Jantscher (forward scorer) via Sky: “It’s a shame Christmas is coming up, we have a great streak. Normally you don’t say because the days are nice, but we’d be in a good rhythm now. It seems easy right now, but it’s very hard and consistent work behind that. “

FC Admira – SK Rapid 0: 1

Damir Buric (Admire-Coach): “Before the break it did not start as we expected or expected, that is, we could put a little pressure on Rapid. On the contrary, we had real problems, our organization did not work at all, we could not develop the game. We have to analyze and work on that, I have no explanation. The second half was different, we were better organized, but overall it was a well deserved victory for Rapid. There is nothing to do about it. Rapid have shown at times that they are a superior team in Austria. “

Dietmar Kühbauer (fast trainer): “Several points were important for us today, first of all that we must remain firm, that we played zero, that we played a good game and that the players, the coaches and the team now have a good Christmas.” Having to make everything clear in the first half, the 1-0 result was a dangerous result until the end. The boys were very focused, I am satisfied with the performance of the team. In short, we played a high season this year ”.

TSV Hartberg – SCR Altach 1-0

Markus Schopp (Hartberg’s coach): “It was an enormously important match for us. With the victory we set an example. Altach was a little stronger in the first half, but Rep’s great opportunity was a shake-up in the team. In the second half we fought for being overweight and we rewarded ourselves with the victory. We had an incredible 2020 with great moments for us. Autumn was difficult for us, but in the end we solved it well. “

Alex Pastoor (Altach coach, on Sky): “This game was symptomatic. We didn’t deserve the win, and neither did our opponents. We have to worry now.”

Martin Kobras (Altach goalkeeper): “In the end, there is zero continuity inside, vulnerable from behind, harmless from the front. Those responsible will now be concerned. If we continue like this, next season we will play in the Second Division.”
