Squad

Thomas Ulmer keeps Admira Wacker in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 13 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match

Admira Wacker march on in the cup

Mattersburg are out and Admira Wacker go through, 1‑0 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Match

Cruel end for Mattersburg as Admira Wacker pounce

There is no crueller way to lose a football match. Admira Wacker scored in the 92th minute, the restart barely happened, and the away end was still standing when the whistle went.

Market

Michael Kalajdzic puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Admira Wacker, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Tempers go at Admira Wacker

Xaver Grillitsch was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market

Admira Wacker sell Kevin Lienhart for $730.0K

Kevin Lienhart has left for Grodig in a $730.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Player ratings

Maximilian Lazaro runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

Rapid Wien take the points off Admira Wacker

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Markus Grillitsch

At 18 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near David Laimer

Successful dribbles: 26. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Grodig come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Admira Wacker did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market

Admira Wacker sell Lukas Brandt for $3.3M

Lukas Brandt has left for SC Freiburg in a $3.3M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Squad

Maximilian Lazaro signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Maximilian Lazaro commits to Admira Wacker for another 4 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Admira Wacker

Xaver Grillitsch was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings

Both jobs done by Gernot Arnautovic — 6.65

A midfielder is measured on whether the team functions when he is on the pitch, which is nearly impossible to see and completely obvious in retrospect. 12 actions, 6.65, and a manager who will not be substituting him again in a hurry.

Squad

No hiding place for Thomas Ulmer

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Thomas Ulmer, and the manager let it.

Squad

Xaver Posch falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match

Honours even between Admira Wacker and Austria Wien

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.
