Lino Heiduck Oswald’s long-time manager, explains in an interview with KURIER: “We’ve been hearing for two years that Rapid is relying on Momo. In fact, Momo was never allowed to start two or three games in a row in central midfield. This year there is generally no improvement in sight when it comes to starting eleven appearances, on the contrary.”
That’s why Heiduck announced that a possible… Winter transfer in focus is taken – either as a loan or, if there is a suitable offer, as a sale.
Katzer: “I wonder about the advisor”
Katzer strongly disagrees: “We all appreciate Momo, we are very happy with him and want to keep him. I’m surprised at the advisor because he didn’t bring up the topic the last time we spoke. And I would only understand him if Momo hadn’t gotten any assignments as a fitter either.”
The sports director alludes to the fact that the 22-year-old will Collateral ligament injury against BW Linz from the start (64 minutes) and played regularly before the loss at the beginning of October.
Advisor Heiduck says: “There would have been enough chances to give Momo more trust even before the injury. The situation at Rapid is not satisfactory.“
In fact, the all-rounder came along 17 season appearances. There was even more playing time in the European Cup than in the league – because direct competitors like Bolla and Grgic were suspended.
All-rounder Oswald as “12th man”
That might also be Oswald’s problem. The Viennese – with Rapid since 2012 – can play almost equally well in the center, right back or in the attacking midfield like against blue and white and is therefore considered to be more valuable “12. Man”.
Moritz Oswald could do more Coach Robert Klauss (at least so far) but not convincing.
Loan for Lang?
While Katzer wants to prevent Oswald from leaving in the winter, he is willing to talk to another ex-U-21 team player. Christoph Lang22, has rarely been able to live up to expectations since buying it eleven months ago. Recently the offensive player even has his Lost place in the match squad.
Katzer announced in the KURIER: “We will discuss calmly with Christoph and his advisor what is best for the player and how things should proceed.”
