Alexandre Guedes in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Grodig this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

SV Ried take the points off Grodig
Beaten 1‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Words at Grodig training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gabriel Lukačević is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

No hiding place for Vlado Graboviča
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Vlado Graboviča, and the manager let it.

Safet Salimbasic has seen enough of Red Bull Salzburg
“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Grodig, and 0 appearances in 1 say he has earned the hearing.

Sören Dutoit dropped after a run of poor form

In brief
- Market Experience through the door at Grodig
