The Graz99ers contest their dress rehearsal for the new ICE season against Liga rival Laibach today (7.30 p.m.). Trainer Harry Lange is already focusing on the planned formations.
Nevertheless, he emphasizes to the “Kronen Zeitung”: “Two or three places are still competitive.” The most important thing is to consistently: “Bringing consistency into play is the most difficult – we saw that last season.”
The transfer market was targeted. “With Maxime Lagacé we have a goalkeeper with a single status, which is great by Nicolas Wieser.” On the defensive you have “significantly more physical presence”, on the offensive the team is “a lot faster”. The character of the “new” team has long been particularly proud: “Everyone fits 100 percent – the character was our largest construction site last year.”
