"Krone" regulars' table:
“We will always lose the best players”
Top-class guests at the "Krone" sports get-together at the Frauneder tavern in Vienna's 10th district. Over chestnuts and mulled wine, Andi Herzog, Martin Stranzl and Martin Scherb discussed the future of Austrian soccer with "Krone" head of sport Peter Moizi and krone.at head of sport Michael Fally.
"We will always have enough players for the senior team to be able to perform accordingly," promised U18 team boss Martin Scherb, but noted that Red-White-Red will continue to "lose the best players to other leagues in the future."
Austria's cult ten-man Andi Herzog has a similar view: "Apart from Alexander Schlager, no Austrians play for Red Bull Salzburg. That's a story where you have to be careful."
More focus on youth training
One player who himself made the journey to Germany at the age of just 16 and eventually made it to 1860 Munich, Stuttgart and Gladbach is former team player Martin Stranzl. "Every training session that you don't use to develop yourself further is time lost," the Burgenland native knows from his own experience. His wish for Santa Claus: "That we place even more emphasis on training young talent."
