After two sovereign victories at the start of the championship, Sturm II was left empty-handed for the first time. But the 0: 3 in Vöcklamarkt is ticked off and was no break for the black people in charge. “I’m not worried because we didn’t play badly. However, in contrast to the previous games, we didn’t score a goal from three good chances, ”said coach Thomas Hösele, whose team wants to return to victory road today in the Styrian derby at home against Allerheiligen. Whether the goalkeeper talent Luka Maric is back between the posts is still open. “Luka has a lumbago, his commitment is questionable,” says Hösele.
Derby number two
Steirer derby number two goes on in Gleisdorf. With Deutschlandsberg, however, a damn hard nut is waiting for coach Thomas Raffl’s troops. The home side are still running after the first three – will it work against the so far flawless West Styrians (three games, three wins)? “We were already close, but we still lacked the necessary luck. We can be satisfied with the start of the season, after all we managed to draw a draw in the derbies against Weiz and Allerheiligen ”, explains Raffl, who lost three supports in the summer. “We have already had a major upheaval, so the team will need a little more time.”
