Raphael Herburger celebrated a special anniversary in the 5-2 win against Budapest: The 37-year-old played his 600th Bundesliga game in Austria.
Despite this milestone, the hunger for success remains great. “After the collapse against Salzburg, the three points were extremely important for us,” the veteran told the “Kronen Zeitung”.
In total, Herburger made 910 appearances – 600 in Austria and 310 in the Swiss top league for Lugano. Even if his personal points tally (7 goals, 18 assists) does not come close to last season, what counts most for him is the success of the team. “We are first, that is more important,” said the Vorarlberg native.
The recent weeks with many injuries have brought the team closer together. Herburger emphasizes: “Everyone has taken a step forward. The only important thing is that we don’t sit back when the injured come back.” On Sunday the leader will face Linz in the last match before the team break.
