Bundesliga in the ticker – LIVE: Rapid celebrates the renewed lead!

For the time being, however, the focus is on the duel with Klagenfurt. “The book is closed for the time being, now we have to concentrate on the league,” demanded the Rapid coach. In the championship it was the last two defeats. “I hope that being in the final has relieved a little bit of pressure and mental stress, and that the players have a clearer mind and can implement certain things better,” explained Barisic. When it came to his kickers, the Viennese felt “up in the air in terms of intensity. I have the feeling that not everyone always plays at their highest level. But we need everyone at their absolute highest level.” The people from Klagenfurt should not be underestimated. “They are very strong and compact, good at switching and set pieces, very aggressive in duels,” is Barisic’s assessment. “They have nothing to lose and are a dangerous opponent.”
