“We want to give something back to the fans”

Striker Alon Turgeman has experienced quite a bit in his career and can assess the current situation well. The 28-year-old talks about the duel with Sturm Graz, his ambitions, as well as about Vienna & Israel.

Attack against Sturm: Alon Turgeman is excited for the home game against Graz. Not only because he wants to improve his score rate in the Generali Arena, but above all because he sees himself and his team-mates in debt, “It's not fair that the fans always give everything and we give them mediocre performances and results, giving them the feeling that we do not always give one hundred percent. The fans always give everything. My friends and I want to give them something back in the home game against Sturm,” says Alon Turgeman, who knows that the achievements of recent weeks do not satisfy anyone:

”We have to fight and focus on the basics because we are not playing well at the moment. At the last home game against Altach we delivered a good fight. If we go through our game against Sturm and fight even more, we can win.”

Turgeman wants to attack fully without any injuries

Alon Turgeman plays for Austria Wien since summer 2018. The 28-year-old was stopped by injuries. In the fall of 2018, a tear in the syndesmosis ligament put him out of action, and adductor complaints forced him to take a break at the end of the season in 2018/19 and in the first rounds of the season. The interruptions prevented not only additional goals for Austria Wien, but also more than two games for the Israeli national team. Until his move to Vienna Turgeman played in his home country Israel. The league is reasonably comparable, “if you exclude Salzburg, the two leagues are on a similar level, in Austria, it is a bit more intense physically,” said Turgeman.

“That was the greatest thing for me”

The familiarization phase in 'Favoriten’ was easy for him, especially off the field: “The people in Austria and Israel are very similar, the differences are very small. Tel Aviv is a city as beautiful as Vienna, “said the striker, who took his team-mates and friends Ivan Lucic and Michael Madl on a summer vacation to Israel. “We ate in good restaurants and I showed them nice places in Tel Aviv. On Friday I invited Ivan and Mike to dinner with my whole family under the motto Shabbat Shalom.”

Alon Turgeman grew up in the coastal town of Hadera. To this day, he has an apartment there, which he uses on holiday: “Waking up every day in the morning with a view of the ocean was the greatest thing for me. There I can relax and switch off even to this day. That's the only thing I sometimes miss here in Vienna.”
