Before the Graz derby
Lots of emotions – but no derby favorite!
After more than 17 years, the time has come again this Saturday (17): Sturm and promoted team GAK meet for the first time in the Bundesliga since May 17, 2007 in the sold-out Merkur-Arena. Back then, Franco Foda and Lars Söndergaard were on the bench. The coaching duo talk about the last derby, the rematch and exciting memories.
"We won 1:0 thanks to Mario Haas' goal, but it was a close game," Franco Foda recalls the last Oberhaus derby in 2007. Those were tough times for Sturm back then. "It was the initial phase after the bankruptcy, I was often with the liquidator. We had a mini-budget and many young home-grown players in the squad." However, the young guard impressed and finished seventh. Without the 13-point deduction, Sturm would have finished fourth and even been in the European Cup.
