Klauß now under pressure
Rapid: Two finals – millions at stake!
Rapid now have two finals ahead of them - millions at stake! A column by "Krone" reporter Rainer Bortenschlager.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen No more Rapid players in the squad of ÖFB team boss Ralf Rangnick. No surprise, this reflects the "form" of Niklas Hedl and Matthias Seidl. In truth, all the green-and-white squad players are running behind their own expectations. None of them have improved since the often refreshing fall - which does not speak well for coach Robert Klauß.
In the winter, sporting director Markus Katzer rejected an 8 million euro offer from Feyenoord for Mamadou Sangare, while Isak Jansson and Serge-Philippe Raux-Yao were also considered unsellable. They did not want to jeopardize their sporting goals and were dreaming of the title. That was courageous, right, but could prove costly in the summer.
If Rapid now say goodbye to the Conference League AND fall into the flop 6 in the league, the "stages" will be lost and the players' market values will plummet again. Those who can "only" play in front of half-empty stands in the qualifying group will not bring in millions in transfers.
The spirit of optimism has evaporated and Rapid must be careful not to destroy all the good work done in recent months against Borac and GAK in four days, also thanks to Klauß. The German has already proven at Nuremberg that he can overcome crises. At least in the short term. That would be enough now. Otherwise his era in Hütteldorf will probably be over too.
