“We always sold ourselves quite expensively!”
Hartberg wants to take the good atmosphere with him into the championship group, but is far from being satisfied with what has been achieved. As fifth in the table, the East Styrians are level on points with third-placed LASK, so a European Cup starting place is realistic. Hartberg only played an EC qualifying game once, in the 2020/21 season, but was defeated by Polish representative Piast Gliwice. “Our goal now is to win an international place,” said captain Jürgen Heil, setting out the route. Coach Markus Schopp is not only relying on the favorite’s mental high, but also on the playful strengths that have already been used to trouble the Bulls over the course of the season.
