Wiener Austria got off to a bumpy start into the new season. In the league there is only one point on the account, internationally the embarrassing end came.
After the 1: 2 bankruptcy in Ried, the “Veilchen” wrote for the first time last Sunday with a hard-fought 1-1 draw against WSG Tirol and are ninth in the table with one point. Against Iceland club Breidablik, the “Veilchen” were eliminated after a 1: 2 away defeat in the second round of the Conference League.
It is therefore all the more surprising that Luka Sur from Austria investor “Insignia” recently issued the goals with Austria. “We have a three-year plan. The goal for the coming season is a position between second and fourth place,” Sur announced on Instagram.
At the moment, however, it is utopian for the Viennese to penetrate these regions. The recently rebuilt squad has to be found under coach Manfred Schmid, there is hardly any space for reinforcements in the tight purple budget.
“In the days of Karl Daxbacher or in the championship season, it was common practice to talk about objectives,” Suttner explained to “Sky”, “but it would now be presumptuous and unrealistic to talk about such objectives. There are so many teams that who are more stable than us. We are not that clever or that experienced. ” However, Sur did not formulate the club's official goal. “We only saw it by chance, but it wasn't widely communicated in the club,” added the violet captain.
The left-back made it clear: “I would be lying if I said that I don't want to be in the championship group. The question is: How quickly do we start to score consistently? We have a team that can function where there are a lot of youngsters Players are behind. “
But what is wrong with the “violets”? “We train in which regions we want to play, but we have to remember it, then implement it. There are several tasks in the game that we have to implement from matchday to matchday. And that's what we're still missing. We we have to bring what we worked out in preparation, which we thought was already more solid, onto the pitch “, explained the violet captain.
The way to the top can only succeed with a sense of achievement. “It then becomes more natural that you know: this is my job, I cannot spare myself that. I hope that comes with the sense of achievement,” concluded Suttner.
