On the sixth day of the Typical Bundesliga, the duel between Rapid Vienna and SCR Altach was on the program on Sunday.

We have the votes for the game.

SK Rapid Vienna – SCR Altach 3: 1 (1: 0)
Referee: Alan Kijas

Alex Pastoor (SCR Altach Coach):
… On the game: “I think we did well in the first 10 or 15 minutes and after that we didn’t really play football that makes us strong. I had to change to make a change. I think we are much stronger when we do what we agreed to beforehand, when we just do it. And my feeling always says that in situations like this the players complicate it too much. They think too much for other players. “

… when asked how he can do it again: “You need time for that, and if things are going well and you reward yourself with a goal, then it works automatically again anyway. But if you feel that today we are not playing so well with the ball, and that can happen, then you have to be much more compact on defense. And that’s about it too, I do my job and I don’t always have to look to see if it’s organized behind me. You just have to trust that. “

… When asked if the momentum is there again: “This is talked about in a way too complicated, in my opinion. If you win a match or play well twice, then all of a sudden total confidence returns and the team is back in shape. It can go very fast. This line is pretty thin. “

… to the question if you have returned to what he called “shit football” in the past: “That’s something different. So you don’t actually play at all and it wasn’t. “

Dietmar Kühbauer (SK Rapid Vienna coach):
… On the game: “What I have to blame on my team today is that we really could have scored as many goals as then. I think our game was really an incredibly good game from the first minute until maybe after we conceded the goal. We had opportunities every minute. It was a great reaction from the team, I liked that. (…) In Ercan you could see that when he enters he wants to score a goal with all his might. It was important that Koya meet again. It’s good that later we have players on the backhand that can still be thrown. Our team is not the greatest, but the players who are now on the team can always come back. “

… On the reaction after Thursday’s defeat: “We received a lot of criticism on Thursday. It wasn’t our best game. But then, in reality, there is a lot of bad talk again. I think what the guys have achieved in the last year and a half, also in the Corona period, also with the starts now … They are doing very well this season. And that is why they wanted to show today that they are a good team, which is known anyway. And the way it was done was really impressive to me today. “

Maximilian Ullmann (SK Rapid Vienna):
… On the game: “We really played one shot after another. Then we went to halftime with just 1-0. We could have closed the bag earlier. We still had a few chances in the second half. The goal was a bit unnecessary. We take all three points with great pleasure. “

… On the goalkeeper’s position: “We try, no matter who is in goal, that we always support them 100 percent. I think we did very well today as a full team. We all shoot in the same direction and whoever plays always does well. We are satisfied and we move on. “

Paul Gartler (SK Rapid Vienna):
… On the game: “The most important thing is that we won the game. Everything else is then primary, as Mr. Krankl once said. “

… when asked how he feels now as number 1: “I wouldn’t say number 1 now. Now I was allowed to play two games in a row. The coach will continue to decide how to proceed. (…) You will just look from game to game and see who is playing. Of course I am happy to have been able to play twice now, but in the end it is always the coach’s decision. “

Martin Bruckner (President SK Rapid Vienna):
… On recent ghost games: “One thing first: health comes first, of course. This is a very clear first priority for us without any buts. What is very difficult for us to understand is why we have to let world-class sport go back to playing without an audience right now. There has not been a single case of corona since the reopening. And football, or sport as a whole, is a bit of normalcy, which is very important for people, especially in this current situation. So my appeal would have been: to let at least these 1,500 into the stadium to have something like normality. And I’m not talking about the financial losses that we all suffer here, but about the people who like to watch Rapid and football. “

… When asked why spectators should be allowed into a stadium and not other venues: “I think that if evidence-based measures are taken, everything is fine. And the evidence we see is that there have been no cases in and around soccer. Therefore, the complete lockdown is not entirely understandable to us. We need predictability and we need to know how things will go next. If I remember: 10,000, 5,000, 3,000, 1,500, in Altach 500 and now zero. That is extremely difficult for us. “

… When asked if he considered it a privilege to be able to continue playing: “We work hard for that. In the spring we came up with a concept for the Bundesliga, which in my opinion was extremely important in showing people that if you seriously address the issue here, you will have the opportunity to play football and play sports again. And I think we fixed it back then and it still works. That is not a privilege, it is a clear response to this difficult moment. “

… when asked how dangerous the current situation is: “So the situation is life threatening for all of Austrian football. If you imagine that we have always planned with viewers and counted on viewers’ income and that we are now lost for an extremely long period of time, then it is life threatening for all of us. It is therefore very important that this sports aid boat is delivered, that it remains in an upright position while the restrictions are applied. Because the threat situation is still there, it is difficult, without a doubt. “

… on his role in the current contract talks and if he’s hitting the brakes a bit: “It is the case that we discuss all these issues internally, because everything comes out new every week and now we are used to planning calculations. You have to analyze each case by case. We’ll go over all those things together. “

… On the contract negotiations with coach Dietmar Kühbauer: “We are in talks with Didi. We have a very clear statement that we do these things internally and then we communicate them to the outside world. We will not leave this path. “

… when asked if he is actively involved in this topic: “This is a topic that we will discuss together. Those are the most important personnel after the two CEOs. “

… On how important the victories against Dundalk are from an economic point of view: “So at that time we set ourselves as a clear objective that we want to hibernate internationally and that is why now the two victories against Dundalk are included if we have to progress. For us, reaching the group stage was a very, very good milestone for our financial situation. And now we just want to get ahead and if that also works economically, then it is much better. “

… When asked how satisfied he was from a sporting point of view: “If you have a successful career that was the same as the last time in the championship in 1987, then you can only be satisfied. (…) I am very satisfied with the current situation. “

… When asked if the players gave up part of their salaries, it was a new topic: “The situation now is completely different. It was like we had six or eight weeks of free playtime and now we are in the middle of the game. But we have to look at all these things again, what the programs that the government is establishing now will be like. “

Martin Kobras (SCR Altach):
… On the game: “We cannot be satisfied with our performance. Rapid was superior to us in every way. In the end, the whole team is not close to the maximum at the moment. Congratulations to Rapid. I think we haven’t played such a strong rapid in a long time. (…) They were simply much more aggressive, much more energetic in duels, they had extreme forward dynamics and great career paths. Much is good in Rapid. “

… On his return: “I have been injured for six weeks. Of course you were happy. Rapid is usually not so bad for us outside the home. As for sensations, I also got on well. Of course, even if you’ve already played 300+ games, there’s always a basic nervousness, but yeah, that’s what it takes. “

Manuel Ortlechner (television expert):
… About Rapid: “It continued what we saw this season. You were able to keep this unit after the crash. They are absolutely stable, they create a lot of opportunities. The team is a little simpler and more determined in its game. (…) You show solidarity and I think that’s what you want to see in Rapid. “

… About Altach: “Rapid was good and Altach was very bad. We saw this Altach downside again. “

Alfred Tatar (TV Expert):
… on Altacher’s performance: “Now I say this: Rapid didn’t even call for a superior performance. It is true that a great number of possibilities have been developed, but sometimes they are really badly rewarded. But the reason he finally won so clearly, and that was really clear, is: Altach was the subject of all the criticism. “

… on the development of Rapid: “Rapid has found the direction and is at least in the top 3 in Austria. And if you look at the previous years, it is a decent increase. Congratulations to those responsible, mainly Didi Kühbauer.”

… On a possible use on Thursday by Fountas, who, according to information from Sky, does not need an operation: “I would not risk using Fountas in this game with the risk of it being canceled again because the injury could not be 100 percent cured. I’ll say it openly and honestly: Today’s eleven has to be enough for Dundalk. “
