Duke: I have to swallow the bitter pill

Andreas Herzog was one of the best Austrian footballers of his time as an active, as a coach, the still recruiting national player failed tragically during his first commitment as a club trainer. The descent of the Admira marks a painful low in Herzog's second career. "I am the head coach of a team that has relegated. I had imagined it differently, that is logical, but I can't sneak away from the responsibility now. I have made the decisions and I have to swallow the bitter pill," he said Wiener in the "Sky" interview plain text.

The division of points makes it possible that for the first time since the introduction of the new league format, the team that has fetched the very few counters over the entire season does not descend for the first time. If you regularly add up victories and draws, Altach actually had two points less than the Admira in the account. But after a weak spring, the Südstädter have to leave the Bundesliga towards the 2nd league after eleven years.

Duke did not want to excuse himself on the said division of points: "We have to attribute this ourselves because we were not good enough in the past five weeks." If the Admira had remained unbeaten in the first half of the qualification group, the Lower Austrians only scored two points in the last five games.

Admira captain Leitner: "I'm just deeply sad"

"The disappointment is huge, in the cabin there is now a doom mood," Duke describes the emotional situation after the 1: 3 defeat in Pasching against LASK. His almost speechless captain Andreas Leitner rank in front of the microphone according to words: "I'm just deeply sad," stammered the Admira goalkeeper, who found clear words about the appearance against the Linz: "In the first half we are according to all the rules of the Art was shown. If you get such a performance on the square, then you deserve deservedly. "

It is unclear whether the project will be tackled with Duke on board. "It's not about me now. The main thing is about the club, everyone who supported us today. We disappointed them and we have to take it on our caps," said Herzog and went one step further in self -criticism : "I haven't found the right remedies in the past few weeks because we actually had a very good starting position. But unfortunately we gave them very easily and negligently."
