FC Blau-Weiß Linz won against SK Rapid on Sunday evening with a surprise 3:0. After looking at the comments of the Rapid fans on this game, we are now curious what the fans of the victorious home team have to say about the strong performance of their players? All comments are from the Austrian Soccer BoardAustria’s largest football discussion forum.
the rex: “It is with great humility that I acknowledge that we are now a club that can even beat Rapid on a day when everything is going perfectly for us! Even if it is just a snapshot, we should enjoy it, there are other games to come. That was another 1.5 points against relegation and I would never have dreamed after this draw that we would already have so many points in our account by that time!”
Miraval: “Given the possibilities, this was probably the best BW game of the last few years. 100% commitment and incredible efficiency.”
Ballermann97: “The collective performance of the entire team was outstanding today. 3-0 against European Cup starter Rapid Vienna, if only someone had said that.”
SonnyBurnett: “3-0 against Rapid. You have to let that sink in. Simply world class, blanket praise to the entire team!”
MetzgerSKV: “Only dream goals, football at its best and Vitek the machine – this could still be a great season. Home win!”
Lackssen: “Absolutely great! Thanks to the whole team including the coaching staff for this experience. Unbelievable what the players did. I don’t want to and can’t single anyone out because it was the collective. When I was lining up I thought ‘Why Tursch?’… well, I was proven wrong again. The VAR actions were more than embarrassing. It can’t be that a referee spends five minutes looking for a handball so that he doesn’t have to give the goal. There’s no point… Now it’s time to enjoy the moment, stay humble and score points in Klagenfurt. And feedback from two neutral spectators yesterday: Incredible atmosphere, awesome stadium -> and one of them bought a jersey as he was leaving. That’s how it’s supposed to work.”
coke getier: “Congratulations, I don’t even know who to single out. Anderson is great, Ronivaldo is a football god. Actually, the whole team. Vitek is like a 2.2-metre tall Billy cupboard from Ikea, which blocks the whole goal.”
Trivon_Ivanov: “Unfortunately, I was only able to watch it via Sky today, which is a bit painful. Actually, everyone deserves to be highlighted today, but three in particular caught my eye:
- The new glove: Note that it’s 20! Perfect for the first match. My gut feeling tells me that Schmid would have conceded one. But still a borderline player. We’ll probably concede a penalty or two.
- Tursch: It felt like he was always there today and absolutely there in our minds. He wasn’t judged quite so uncritically either.
- Goiginger: Today was probably his best match since his return. In the first few minutes I thought it would be another slow game, but it was a bit of a whirlwind today.”
blueiss78: “Vitek – how likeable and tough can you be at 20? What a debut!”
Der Executor: “Apart from the extremely pleasing result: It was a pleasure to see the blue-whites and green-whites sharing a beer or two together before and after the game.”
Auwiesen_BWL: “That was really good. I’m glad that Scheibi actually tried the 3-5-2 formation. That was exactly what opened the can for Rapid’s 4-2-2-2. And of course the very strong tackling in the front third, where we really overwhelmed Hofmann in particular. There’s no need to discuss the performance of Pirkl, Goiginger and Roni, but the others did a really good job too. It’s clear that we caught Rapid at the perfect time, but we still have to be able to do it against such a high-quality team. Great and well-deserved. The discussion about whether it’s a risk to have a 20-year-old as a first-choice goalkeeper has presumably and hopefully been settled since yesterday. We made a leap forward in that regard last week.”
Deni: “Pasic is not mentioned to me. He sucks and sucks the balls in front of the defense. A really strong game. Incredibly important for us. Briedl was really strong. Why the two weren’t selected against GAK remains the question of the season. Ronivaldo, as always, just a big thank you! Goigi has redeemed himself. But there’s still more to come. I wish Moorman a speedy recovery. Didn’t look too bad at first glance.”
