"Sad and bitter"
Klauß defends Rapid’s big misfortune
On Wednesday evening, 18-year-old Jakob Schöller, of all people, initiated the turning point with a hair-raising cross into the middle on his competitive debut for Rapid. Nevertheless, coach Robert Klauß backed him after the cup defeat against Stripfing (1:2).
"He's a great talent and needs match practice. My job is to get him to the point where he is stable for 90 minutes and doesn't make any mistakes. He played a good game up to that point, then this one slip-up happened to him, which is sad and bitter for him. He's also crestfallen," said Klauß after the game.
Schöller had passed directly to Stripfing's Darijo Pecirep in front of his own goal in the 79th minute, who scored the equalizer for the underdogs, who sensationally prevailed in the end. "Ultimately, however, we are a club that stands for promoting players and allowing them to make mistakes," said Klauß, defending the young kicker.
From Südstadt to Hütteldorf
Schöller is a 20-time ÖFB youth team player and made his professional debut for Admira in the first round of the ÖFB Cup in 2022 at the age of 16. Last season, he scored his first two goals in Austria's second-highest division. He left Südstadt in the summer and moved to Rapid.
