Rapid striker Bernhard Zimmermann: Starting, going on, continued

The 336th Vienna Derby ended on Sunday with a 1-1 draw. The Hütteldorfer keep the distance to the city rivals. The focus was on goal scorer Bernhard Zimmerman, who saw yellow-red in the course of the game.

• Ferdinand Feldhofer: "Give huge chance"
• Manfred Schmid: "Starting position is very good"

The SK Rapid took the lead through Bernhard Zimmermann after 37 minutes. The scorer saw an unnecessary yellow card after his goal celebration that was doomed to the green and whites, since the center forward after a foul against Matthias Braunöder was put down by Referee Christopher Jäger after just under an hour. The Austria then ran in numerical outnumber and came to a well -deserved compensation through Joker Noah Ohio.

"I haven't realized all of this yet. It started nicely, but it went on, ”said Rapid striker Zimmermann after the final whistle at SKY. “When I shoot a goal, of course I cheer it. A derby goal even more. I actually wanted to cheer for my own fans. I let myself be guided a little by my emotions. It was a bit inexperienced, but it doesn't happen again. "

Ferdinand Feldhofer: "Give huge chance"

Coach Ferdinand Feldhofer's trouble was limited. “I have already seen other players cheer before our sector and they didn't get anything. It is always a sensitivity. It doesn't need many words when you've looked in the face. That is a learning process. "

Overall, Feldhofer saw his team better for an hour, “after that it was a clear yellow-red from my point of view. Then we fought back, but we didn't do ourselves quite well in defense. ”

The race for third place, which guarantees a European group phase and millions, continues to be open two laps before the end. The green-whites have two points ahead of Austria and stay in the pole position. Wiener Austria will play at the Klagenfurter Austria next Sunday at 5:00 p.m., while Rapid Vienna has Red Bull Salzburg at the same time.

“We have a huge chance to give ourselves away from the competition. Nevertheless, we are still in front and have it in our own hand. It will be exciting until the last game, ”says Feldhofer.

Manfred Schmid: "Starting position is very good"

Naturally, Austria trainer Manfred Schmid analyzed the game. He did not issue the best testimony for both teams. “If you get the beginning, it was totally torn. There was hardly any flow of the game inside. I had the feeling that we would come a little in the game, ”said Schmid. “We then fell behind due to a playback error and a coarse carver. After the exclusion it was a game in one direction. Basically we had three to four seats. I am already disappointed that we didn't bend it. "

Schmid still sees the chances of third place, knowing that the SK Rapid will be guest with serial master Salzburg next round. “The starting point is very good. Of course we have to hope for a Rapid faller. But they no longer have easy opponents (Red Bull Salzburg and WAC, note). But now we have to win both games, then we have a great chance to achieve third place. ”
