Christopher Ruprecht is the best man and best friend of ÖFB goalkeeper Alexander Schlager. In our series, he keeps his fingers crossed for the Salzburg "one" for a possible EURO participation. The goalkeeper once drove over six hours by car for Ruprecht's birthday, and the 28-year-old also shines in the garden. 

Two footballers who became best friends in the city of Mozart. "From 2011 onwards, there wasn't a single day in the Bulls academy when we didn't do something together," Christopher Ruprecht remembers fondly. "Rupi" still goes through thick and thin with ÖFB and Salzburg goalkeeper Alexander Schlager.
