Historic mission
Historic! Arnautovic in the starting eleven against Sturm
ÖFB star Marko Arnautovic surprisingly made it into the starting eleven for Red Star Belgrade after recovering from an adductor injury against Sturm Graz on Thursday. It was a historic outing for the 36-year-old Viennese, but it only lasted one half ...
Because: Arnautovic was mercilessly taken on by the Austrian champions. After just a few minutes, Arjan Malic hit the ÖFB star on the head with his high leg - and was even well served with a yellow card.
A short time later, he grabbed the inside of his right thigh for the first time after a foul in midfield. Was Austria's record goalscorer not quite fit after all? At least he gritted his teeth as a constant trouble spot for Sturm's defense until the break. But then it was over! Arnautovic had to stay in the dressing room for the break.
Bitter for Marko and his red-white-red fans! After all, he had never played a competitive match as a professional against an Austrian team before. The last time he was in the line-up for a competitive match in his home country before the Europa League game in Graz was as a 17-year-old. It was on June 16, 2006, when Arnautovic played for FAC against IC Favoriten in the Vienna league and scored in a 1-1 draw.
Wandering bird
This was followed by a move to Twente Enschede in the Netherlands, then to Inter Milan, Werder Bremen, Stoke City, West Ham United, SH SIPG in China, Bologna, Inter again and last summer to Red Star, with whom he made his first appearance in Austria in 19 years on Thursday in the Europa League against Sturm - away from his appearances in the Austrian football team, of course.
