Undefeated to the title? That’s what Brixen coach Morini says

SSV Brixen is not yet state league champions, even if it is only a matter of time. The relegated team from the Oberliga has a 15-point lead over Bruneck, with six games remaining. Brixen coach Patrizio Morini spoke to SportNews before Sunday's derby against Milland.

There is a chance that Brixen will celebrate the championship party in Milland on Sunday. A lot of things have to come together for this to happen, which means that the first pursuer, Bruneck, in particular, would have to stumble. But there has been no doubt about Brixen's return to the league for weeks.

Patrizio Morini will be training in the league again in the future after currently having an interlude in the national league. The native of Umbria has not been on the sidelines in the national league for 17 years, at that time he was still in the service of Virtus Don Bosco. “I can’t say whether the level in the league this year is better or worse than previous years. What I can say is that every game was difficult. All the teams are well organized and the coaches are all perfectly prepared.”

Tough derby in Milland on Sunday

Morini came to the cathedral city in the summer of 2023 after Brixen was relegated from the Oberliga as Kurt Forer's successor - and things are going great. The Brixen squad is in a top position. It is still worth mentioning that there has been no defeat in the championship to date. Morini also sees it that way: “That’s extraordinary. Especially because every opponent against Brixen is extra motivated. But my team is not only strong in terms of football, but also in the mental area." Morini says that the head of his players was the biggest construction site in the summer: "They were relegated from the top league and used to losing. I have to instill in the team the belief that we can win all games. Now I can say that to this day we have never risked falling into a hole. But we want to continue until the end. It is one of our goals to win the championship undefeated.”

“The team lives football in a different way than before. She has become more professional since the summer.” Patricia Morini

On Sunday Brixen has to go to the derby in Milland. The hosts are fighting for survival in the league and need every point. “It will be a difficult game. They will fight until they drop. Milland made life extremely difficult for us in the first leg. “It’s also a derby, which makes it even more special,” said Morini.

Oberliga: top game in St. Georgen

The title fight also seems to have been decided in the major league. Lavis is 6 points ahead of St. Pauls, but the Überetscher are not interested in Serie D anyway. The first serious Lavis pursuer is in third place, 8 points behind and is called St. Georgen. On Sunday there will be the top game between St. Georgen and Lavis in the Pustertal. If the Trentino team wins, the race is as good as over.
