30 minutes of play time in the Cup round of 16 against FAC, one hour against WAC, 79 minutes against RB Salzburg and for the first time over the full 90 minutes against Admira. But first Max Sax played with the Young Violets in the second Bundesliga just over a month ago. The offensive newcomer was cautiously introduced by Austria Wien’s team assistants:
"Looking back, this was definitely the right way. After an injury, no one is up to one hundred percent. The coaching team brought me back to my limit very well." The 26-year-old could increase his physical limit even further during his rehabilitation, the individual training with physiotherapists Christoph Lichtenecker and Florian Metz payed off. "Especially in terms of stamina and agility, I have extremely improved in comparison to the summer," says Sax, who has clearly arrived at Austria Wien with his amazing goal against Admira, however, he self-critically analyses the 2-1 victory:
"We were very happy that we made the three points against Admira, that was incredibly important. Admira’s pitch was really difficult to play on and if the game isn’t going too well, it's even more important to accept the duels and show character."
In the last two home games against WAC and Salzburg Sax was exchanged during the scores of 2-1 or 0-0, leaving a very good impression, it was clear that he feels very comfortable in the Generali-Arena: "I am very glad that I was received so well not only by everyone in the club, but also by Austria Wien’s fans. I was especially appreciated after I was exchanged against WAC and Salzburg. The atmosphere in the stadium was just awesome. During these moments I was happy. After the final whistle I was just as disappointed as all the other ‘Violets’. It is crucial that we win during the next home game," says Max Sax, with whose previous performance Austria Wien fans and head coach Thomas Letsch are very satisfied: "I didn’t think he would find his way back so quick after his injury. He repays being in the squad with his performance. I am absolutely satisfied. He's a technically good player who loves the one-on-one and brings an extra facet to our offensive."
The aspiration for the home game against SKN St. Pölten is clear. How should the victory succeed? "We want to defend earlier in counterattacks and play more offensive. We did a lot of tactical work to improve the processes," says Sax, whose automatisms work especially well with Christoph Monschein, because of their time together at Admira:
"We just understand each other very well on and off the pitch. He knows exactly what I do when I look to the right or suggest a certain movement. I don’t know if you can learn this in such a way with a teammate, if you do not get along so well."
