Barnsley suda in Gerhard Struber’s week of key long-term movements
That’s where Hull City, Ipswich and Charlton will end up in Ligue 1 this season, according to knowledge experts.
Austria, the country of the Edelweiss and immortalized in The Sound of Music, has noted remote occasions in Oakwell, with the achievements of the club’s Austrian contingent ensuring that the Reds can count on foreign development among football fans in the Alpine nation. .
This was evident to central definer Michael Sollbauer in the club’s dramatic finale in the 2019-2020 crusade when his thrilling escape from relegation proved to be one of the stories of a tumultuous blind season.
The Austrian brigade of Barnsley de Sollbauer, Patrick Schmidt, Marcel Ritzmaier and the head coach Gerhard Struber has since been complemented by the incorporation of the signing of the tight season Dominik Frieser and a new coach for Wolfgang Luisser: goalkeeper Sami Radlinger is gone.
With his country, Sollbauer told the Yorkshire Post: “In Austria, many other people have recognized the stage with Barnsley, especially in the last two games where I’ve won a lot of messages saying ‘it’s going to be hard, you still have a chance. ‘
“Many of my old teammates and old friends supported us and tried to watch it on TV.
“After those matches, they sent me a lot of messages and calls and it was wonderful to see that we also had many followers from England.
“Barnsley has a lot of new friends who will take a look at us in the new season, are ahead and stay with us.
“What happened at the end of last season is one of the highlights of my career so far.
“I said that staying with Barnsley would be one of my greatest achievements and that at all times it will remain in my brain and I never will be, especially the last two games and the victory in the last few seconds to stay. “
“It was very special and felt like when you were promoted. This (Brentford) was a wonderful night for the club because we worked very hard in combination to get there and believed in ourselves, no matter what everyone was doing.
Frieser added an intriguing option of offensive midfielder to the Reds and after playing with him in the Austrian Bundesliga at Wolfsberger, Sollbauer can attest to his credentials and fits perfectly into Barnsley’s urgent and life-filled lifestyle.
He added: “I played with him and we worked together. I know his taste for the game and he knows him as a person.
“I think it will have perfect compatibility in our system. He knows how to press especially and last season scored when we played against him, but I don’t think he scored (directly) against me!
“It adapts perfectly to our system, our team and our organization because it is open-minded. It’s a signature.
Frieser’s arrival is not the only key detail of the hiring at the end of the season with the return of Kilian Ludewig – who won many admirers his first stage at the club at the time of the last parliamentary term – also significant.
The defender, a dynamic presence in a right-back role and a player with great potential, rejected the interest of his local Germany returning to Oakwell when Red Bull Salzburg relented it in 2020-21.
Ludewig, who took advantage of his time in and out of the box in Yorkshire, may be happier.
He said: “After staying awake and directing, I looked ahead to stay at Barnsley.
“I had the opportunity to make a loan at the time of the championship in Germany, but I sought to play at Barnsley.
“My circle of family and friends is pleased that I am back here and look towards the new season.
“It’s a special moment in a new country with a new mindset and new people. I have lived here very well and am pleased to have here Austrians who can speak german.
“After the Crown, I played almost every single game and did anything as a team. “
Ludewig is one of many young players who benefits from the presence of Sollbauer, a figure who exudes calm and authority on and off the field.
For his part, the 30-year-old is completely admired for the elegance of Barnsley’s “kindergarten” and says his story has just begun.
“Killy is the best example of the expansion and passage of giant steps, especially the team’s young players,” Sollbauer said.
“When he (the first) came to the team, he became another user from now on and took a massive step – many players did and now we have to move on.
“I like to see them expand and we have to recognize that they are young and that what they did was fine.
“But we don’t have time to prevent and they also have to take the next step. “
