Michaela Kirchgasser (36) turned her back on skiing in 2018. Now she’s back in the spotlight. She has traded the snow for the green lawn. She can be seen regularly as a football reporter on “Servus TV”. Before the Europa League games of the Austrian teams (Rapid Wien, Sturm Graz), the former technology specialist invites a player from the home team to a casual chat in her car.
«We want to show how the players tick in private, who is behind the public figure. I don’t want to ask annoying questions, the whole thing should also be cool for the players, ”she says of her new talk in the“ Kronenzeitung ”. In addition to this task, the Austrian will be working as a VIP reporter at FC Salzburg’s home games in the Champions League.
An ex-skier, who now reports on football, naturally begs the question, what kind of relationship does she have with football? “I’ve been a Salzburg fan since the 1990s, and Bayern are best for me internationally. Mehmet Scholl was my favorite kicker. “
The international group phases start next week with the first matchday. (nab)
