The 6-1 win over Ferencvaros Budapest was the Graz99ers’ fourth win in a row. But it should only be the beginning of a successful year that should end with the championship title, if President Herbert Jerich has his way.
The 6-1 win over the Hungarians was not only the fourth win in a row, but the third game in a row with only one goal conceded. The Styrians are on track both offensively and defensively and are only one point behind league leaders KAC since yesterday – and that with a less played game.
Declaration of war by President Jerich
Things should go high for the Styrians this year, as President Herbert Jerich, as usual, confirmed to the “Kronen Zeitung” with little reserve: “Of course we want to become champions! This will be our year.” However, he also knows that the competition should not be underestimated: “It won’t be easy. KAC is strong again. Bolzano is very close to us. And you can never forget Salzburg anyway.”
A lot of things are being tried in Graz to keep the atmosphere in the team at a high level. For example, Jerich organized a New Year’s Eve dinner for the entire team. However, the best thing for the mood is victories and there are currently many of them to celebrate and it should stay that way when we go to Jerich…
