Announced game philosophy: Rapid style instead of Salzburg copy – football
The SK Rapid is also about. A uniform game philosophy, a continuity from the academy to the professional team was announced – not for the first time, but mind you.
With neo-trainer Ferdinand Feldhofer at the side of sports director Zoran Barisic, the missing piece of the puzzle is said to have been found in order to really create a basis for the future from which everyone should benefit. At this point, too, it was recently criticized several times that there is no clear line to be seen among the green-whites, that one had to ask the question: What does Rapid actually stand for?
SCR President Martin Bruckner according to the announcement, this is now actively tackling. In the program “Talk und Tore” on “Sky Sport Austria”, the 56-year-old announced how Rapid should perform in the future. “We want to play football actively, go quickly towards the goal, simply offensively. I accept this criticism, it has not been so recognizable in recent years.”
According to his Rapid Boss for two years, the direction of the game can already be seen in the academy teams, only the continuity to the professionals is not yet given.
But Bruckner immediately notes one thing: “We will definitely not be a copy of Salzburg, because a copy is never as good as the original. We have our own orientation, we have our own ideas, concepts and philosophies. We want that too . “
from LAOLA1-Editor Alexander Karper already mentioned in the live broadcast that the SCR has been pursuing this plan for years and when asked why something should really happen in this direction only now and not earlier, for example under Didi Kühbauer, the green and white General: “When Didi came to us, he found a very difficult situation and got the best out of it.”
In the postscript he admitted some mistakes: “But yes, I admit that the way we played did not always correspond to what we always wanted and where we said it should be Rapid. ”
Bruckner also says: “We have this moment now, a head coach of a team is this key personnel, the keystone when I build a bridge. I need that so that the whole thing comes together – from below, from the left, from the right. And that’s exactly what happened Now is the moment that we are now consistently following this path. Zoki came three years ago. We pulled this concept from bottom to top and now is the last keystone to bring it into the fighting team. “
Red thread! This is how Rapid describes the philosophy
A few months ago people were asked about the tactical direction, but the guiding principle was “Together. Fight. Victory.” cited without going into more detail.
Since the green-whites themselves came up with the new, universal idea to the public, but when & now explanations were on the table. Sports director Zoran Barisic also wanted to avert the Salzburg comparison: “It’s not like that in Salzburg either, the system in the fighting team is constantly being changed. You have to be very careful with that.”
Then he tries to explain the plans of the Hütteldorfer down to the last detail: “For us it is important that our common thread in the training philosophy does not get stuck. Permeability extends to the combat team. Of course, it is so that we are active, game-determining, active against and want to be independent of positional play with the ball. In the next three games we will not bring in that we do 90 minutes of power pressing. But there are certain elements, including at Feldhofer, that we want to implement and adapt, which will take us further than Team, as a club and maybe even to the next level. “
At the same time, Barisic stated that the Hütteldorfer did not have to exaggerate the details. Allegedly the exact plans are in place, but they will probably not be revealed to the public: “I don’t want to say now that we want to win the ball within the next six seconds and shoot on goal within ten minutes. That’s what you guys do want to hear. But that’s not the main criterion. “
What the ex-kicker (an international match) and former coach wants to see: “It is important that there is a recognition value, that there is a rapid style that we will develop. That can only be done together. If you really want it – from bottom to top. There aren’t that many secrets in football. You don’t have to have a master’s or bachelor’s degree to play football. We really want to develop our rapid football together. “
Patience is a foreign concept: “It’s about recognition features”
Feldhofer and Barisic present themselves as a new tandem, as a duo that understands and seems to be surfing on the same wavelength. The new coach also nodded off the words of his superiors.
“It’s about recognition features, a handwriting, a signature that can be recognized. It will take a while, of course. But we all agree that we should tackle this, make the project behind it consistently, that people think longer – that still has me more convincing, “said Feldhofer and emphasized that on the pitch, solutions for the most varied of people will be decisive.
“We need solutions in all phases of the game, we have to act as a swarm and think at the same time.
It is well known how it is with the subject of patience at Rapid. Despite building up for the future, it will not work without results. President Bruckner knows that only too well: “That is clear, this is a challenge that we are facing. We know that we do not have the time here like others – otherwise we would not be with Rapid.”
Regarding the quality of the players and whether the necessary actors are actually available to put Feldhofer’s visions into practice, Often said: “Zoki has already brought in the right players for our style of play, so you have to use them accordingly,” echoed hidden criticism Predecessor Kühbauer through. “We picked up the pace and regained speed with the transfers.”
“Feldhofer wants to develop something and follow this path with us”
Despite all the skepticism when ordering a trainer, Rapid never tires of emphasizing that.
“With this choice of a head coach we are consistently following the sporting line from the academy to the top. We deliberately looked for a trainer, created a requirement profile that fits in with our philosophy, sporting orientation and ours and has to support that. That was for us very important “, Bruckner clearly again.
Feldhofer not only convinced at his hearing, but also with his approach to football, his willingness to support the idea and his human component.
“It’s just about the right fit, having the trainer who consistently goes this way with us. Now the buck has to be knocked over in order to carry this concept up to the top, up to the combat team. Feldhofer was in all the talks we had The candidate who fully supported this strategy for us right from the start, who jumped immediately because it also interested him. He wants to develop something, he wants to go this way with us, “said Bruckner and was pleased about the new spirit of optimism in Vienna-Hütteldorf.
Those interested in football from Rapid are already familiar with announcements of this kind from previous years. Little has happened since then. The time WILL come when athletic leadership WILL be measured against it. If you believe the person responsible, the go-ahead has been given, and now it’s time to get to work.
