With the away game against the "Blackies", a hot period against five clubs begins for the “Violets”, four of which are currently in front of us in the standings. After Strum Graz follows the 326th Derby (Happel Stadium 15.3., 4:30 PM), LASK (away game) and SV Mattersburg and FC Admira (each at home).
"In all these games we have to push hard, step it up and play it game to game. It will not be easy, but hope lives. As long as it is mathematically possible, we believe in it, "emphasizes Martschinko and hopes for points in Graz.
"It will be very difficult. Sturm is in a strong phase right now, in a good mood. Away, this opponent is even harder to beat than at home. The Styrians are not second in the standings by chance," says our defensive man, who still looks forward to the duel with confidence.
"We are also in good shape, so I think there might be something for us in Graz", says "Tschinki", who kept his fingers crossed for his teammates against SCR Altach from the stands. If his recovery stays on track, he wants to play in Graz, announces the Styrian.
What must our “Violets” show to score? "The most important thing is that we fight, take on duels and trust in ourselves," appealed our injured left-back. One should not hide, be strong in the back and do not let Sturm start an attack, answers Martschinko.
His motto is therefore, "To act courageously and the most important thing in Graz is to fight." Sturm Graz last celebrated four victories in a row, the first home victory in 2018 only in the third attempt, before the international cap break 1-0 against SCR Altach on March 17th.
On the other hand, FK Austria Wien counts three home victories in series (2-0 WAC, 4-0 SKN St. Pölten and 2-1 Altach) with our new coach Thomas Letsch. Incidentally, such a success in the league last happened in March of the 2013/14 championship.
"Our team has won three out of four games and lost only once. Therefore we go to Graz with broader chests. Still, it will not be easy, we have to give everything", says "Tschinki ". It is clear to everyone that an increase is necessary compared to the game against Altach.
His Austria, which was last successful in Graz on 18.2.2017 (4-0), have started well against Altach, but as usual had a hard time at the beginning of the second half. Fortunately they scored again during the final minutes, summed up the 24-year-old. "The most important thing is, not how we win, but that we bring home three points."
In Graz a sequel should follow. The place "Tschinki" got injured on 15.10.2017 during the 0-3. In the 20th minute, he suffered a cruciate ligament tear and a collateral ligament without third-party responsibility.
He has since recovered well. Martschinko can walk again, is doing strength exercises to strengthen the muscles in the left leg again. "I'm confident that I'll be one hundred percent fit for the start of the 2018/19 season or the start of the preparations and will be able to do anything with the team," he says.
The start of the summer preparation is a realistic goal, emphasizes our man with the number 28 on his jersey. His return to the new Generali-Arena makes it easier to forget the past with the heavy injury.
In the months since his injury, "Tschinki" has been working hard. While the squad was in a training camp during the winter break in Cyprus, he completed an extensive rehab program in Herxheim (Pfalz) with Mike Steverding in coordination with our sports physiotherapist Christoph Lichtenecker.
The first round in January was followed by another three-week stay in Germany in March. Will come to a third? "You have to see how the knee develops. But I think that I will stay in Steinbrunn during the build-up. We work week to week, because the knee always reacts differently to pressure," he explains.
During the winter break and the injury breaks of Martschinko and Heiko Westermann, the club has brought three new defence players: Michael Madl, Patrizio Stronati and Stefan Stangl. Christoph likes the "fight for the jersey", but for himself only one thing counts, "I have to get fit, we'll see everything else in the summer."
