Josef Weberbauer is having the best fall of his career. He is a regular at Admira, hasn't missed a single second this year and is top of the table. The young bulls come to Südstadt on Saturday.

Leaders in the second division, haven't missed a single second on the pitch and have even scored a goal: Things couldn't be going better for Josef Weberbauer at the moment. Since moving from Leoben to Admira in the summer, he has been on cloud nine in sporting terms. "In terms of games, this is certainly my best fall by far," grins the Kuchler, who enjoys the full confidence of coach Thomas Silberberger. After 13 games, the Südstädter are five points ahead of Ried and also won the direct duel three weeks ago, in which Weberbauer scored the decisive goal.

"Not teammates, but a game"
The man from Tennengau has already experienced several cities in his career. From his home town to Graz, Ried, Leoben and now Südstadt. He feels most at home there so far: "It's a different quality of life outside of soccer. You have completely different options in your free time." He can be in Vienna in 20 to 30 minutes and often meets up with Rapid captain Matthias Seidl there. But he has also come to love his teammates, where Lukas Brückler is another Tennengauer in the squad. "What makes us special is that we're not teammates, but simply a team where everyone goes to bat for each other."

These qualities will also be needed on Saturday (14:30) in the home game against Liefering. The young bulls are unbeaten in four games and seem to be improving after a poor start.
