Bitter short appearances
Rapid: The two unlucky players should be fresh
At least two Rapid players from the first eleven in Braga's quarry should be fresh tomorrow in Linz - gallows humor. At some point, the Green-White will be able to smile about it. Even Dion Beljo and Lukas Grgic after their bitter short appearances ...
"Worst case, he couldn't correct it either. But the ball bounced," said coach Robert Klauß, feeling sorry for the Croatian. He ran towards the empty goal in the first minute and the ball landed in the outer net. "Really bad. But that will happen to him many more times. I don't want to know how many goals I've already missed," said veteran Guido Burgstaller, who has twelve years more experience as a striker. There was no reproach from anyone, more sympathy. Klauß almost apologized for having to take Beljo off the pitch shortly afterwards for tactical reasons.
Emotional video message from Grgic
Because Grgic was sent off for his unintentional kick against Rodrigo Zalazar in minute 4. "Bitter evening, I let the lads down a bit. But I'm proud of the way they performed when they were outnumbered," said Grgic - as if from Trabzon - in an emotional video message to the fans, promising to "step on the gas in the stands for the second leg. We have to stand together."
Tomorrow, both unlucky players will be needed on the pitch in Linz. Physically fresh, but mentally it won't be easy.
