Swift Victory Closes Out, Stöger Urges Caution Against Rash Actions Following the Upper-Quarter Match

In a blunt and direct analysis, Peter Stoeger, coach of Rapid Wien, highlighted the importance of hard work and earning success for the team to maintain their position. The Viennese narrowly avoided extra time in the UNIQA ÖFB Cup Round of 16 against SV Oberwart, winning 2:1, but the performance was far from convincing.

Stoeger emphasised that the good start of the Bundesliga season for Rapid Wien is due to hard work, not outstanding quality. He stated that the squad is not an overteam and has to earn everything. This message was directed towards the regular starters, who cannot feel secure in the team, and towards the fans.

The performance against Oberwart, a Regionalliga side, underscores the need for the team to work hard and earn their success, rather than relying on their quality alone. SV Oberwart proved to be a tough opponent, especially in the second half.

According to Stoeger, Rapid Wien does not have the stability and quality that some teams might have. This could be an important lesson for the team, indicating that they have to prove their ambitions every day. The upcoming league games will serve as a test for the team to demonstrate their ability to live up to their ambitions.

Whether the team has understood Stoeger's message will be evident in the upcoming league games. The coach's analysis suggests that the Viennese have to work hard to beat many teams, rather than relying on talent alone. The match was played in front of around 6,000 spectators, with the majority supporting SV Oberwart.

Despite the candidate from Rapid Wien who could possibly fail due to the cup match against SV Oberwart remaining unnamed, Stoeger's message to the team was to not squander their current success in the league. The match result (2:1) should serve as a warning for Rapid Wien. The cup thriller against Oberwart could be an important lesson for the team, reminding them that hard work and consistency are key to maintaining their position.
