Thomas Ebner is excited for his first Vienna derby

The 26-year-old defensive midfielder speaks about the starting position before the big Vienna Derby (Sunday, 5 PM, Allianz Stadium) and knows the importance of this special duel. "The anticipation is great. You can feel the tension everywhere. Everyone is talking about it. Everyone is watching. This is not a game like any other. I really want to win the derby."

Thomas Ebner, born in Baden near Vienna, has known the significance of the Vienna derby all his life: "You could say that I have been a fan of Austria Wien for a long time. That's why I realized early on that the derby is a big highlight of the season and especially important for our fans," says Ebner.

A remarkable balance

In Admira’s jersey, the 26-year-old has played 23 games against Rapid, can look back on the impressive balance of eight victories, six draws and nine defeats: "The games against the big clubs were always something special for me with Admira - and from Admira's point of view, we have already celebrated great successes against Rapid."

The will to win

In the Allianz Stadium, where Austria Wien is still undefeated (2-2-0) after more than two years, Ebner has not celebrated a victory yet, but in a violet jersey this could change: "If we show our will to win on the pitch and fully enforce our plan, we will win the derby - I am convinced of that," emphasizes the central midfielder.

Two top games will follow in the Generali-Arena

The international cap break was among other things used to work intensively in the physical area. There are important games waiting. After the derby the home games against LASK (Sunday, 23.09., 2:30 PM) and the important game in the Austrian Cup against Sturm Graz (Wednesday, 26.09., 8:45 PM) will follow. "We keep our focus on the upcoming game, but of course it would be a confidence boost if we bring home a derby victory."
