Player ratings23 Sep 2030

A brace, and Konrad Laimer takes the afternoon — 9.00

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Konrad Laimer provided it, and the 9.00 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad23 Sep 2030

A one-man rearguard from Sebastian Krüger

There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad23 Sep 2030

Words exchanged at Mattersburg

Marcel Lang and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match21 Sep 2030

A bad afternoon for Mattersburg against Altach

2‑3 to Altach, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout23 Sep 2030

The manager makes an example of Sebastian Krüger

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match23 Sep 2030

Mattersburg at the halfway mark

Half the programme played, position 6, 12 on the board. Doubling it is the sum every supporter has done and the only one nobody at the club will do out loud.

The dugout23 Sep 2030

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 2‑3 Dejan Lazaro left the room before anybody could ask which.

The dugout23 Sep 2030

Christoph Hinteregger has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Mattersburg will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Squad23 Sep 2030

Words at Mattersburg training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Agustín Díaz 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.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad16 Sep 2030

Sebastian Krüger stands alone

8 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Squad16 Sep 2030

Tempers go at Mattersburg

Marcel Lang 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.

Squad16 Sep 2030

Patrick Touray 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.

Match14 Sep 2030

Mattersburg find a way past Admira Wacker

Admira Wacker made Mattersburg work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings16 Sep 2030

Marcel Lang was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.10. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

The dugout16 Sep 2030

The manager makes an example of Cristian Falla

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market16 Sep 2030

A long bet from Mattersburg on Benjamin Lehmann

He is 18, and nobody at Mattersburg signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Squad16 Sep 2030

Gatis Zjuzins signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Gatis Zjuzins commits to Mattersburg for another 1 years.

The dugout16 Sep 2030

The view from the dugout

“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Dejan Lazaro, on a 2‑0 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.
