Quick Captain: Burgstaller wants to win a trophy the day after his birthday

Fast striker Guido Burgstaller wants to present himself today, one day after his 34th birthday, with his first title at the highest professional level. 20 goals this season (three in the cup) speak for themselves. Porgy is undoubtedly Rapidler’s life insurance. He has already seen a lot in his career. But regardless of whether he was at SC Wiener Neustadt, with whom he lost the 2010 Cup Final in Klagenfurt against Sturm, in his first fast time or abroad (Cardiff, Nuremberg, Schalke, St. Pauli), he never won a title. “Especially in the cup, I don’t have the best record. But I want to leave something behind, and the game in Klagenfurt is a perfect opportunity for a possible cup win,” says Gmund’s goal machine.

Rapid could salvage their mixed season with this one game, so often things in the league didn’t go according to plan, but now their first cup win since 1995 is about to happen. This does not leave the Burgstaller too cold. “I already said that the matches in Carinthia are no longer really anything special, except for the cup final in Klagenfurt. That’s great, of course family and friends will be there too, and they don’t have to travel far, ”says Burgstaller happily.
Despite his honors day yesterday, there was no celebration, Rapid have been in the tunnel since the 1-1 draw against Salzburg. “We congratulated him, that’s it,” confirms Markuskatzer, Head of Sports.

The position of the central defender causes headaches

Even if the optimism and motivation for the day is greater than that, Burgstaller is troubled by the placement of the Rapid’s centre-back. With red stop Michael Solbauer, the centre-back lost fourth. “It was a stupid move, it hurts the whole team, but we have to absorb it,” the captain knows.
