Michael Bacher: “The top league would be a personal defeat”

The relief can be heard audibly by the migratory bird from Freienfeld. “I had some good conversations last week and will probably sign with a club in the next few days. For me personally, this is a good thing because it means I can fully participate in the preparation for the first time in many years,” said Bacher, who only recently joined his clubs at the end of July or even August. In the SportNews interview he also talks about...

... his last season in Serie D at Alto Vicentino and Viareggio: “It wasn’t an easy one. Due to Alto Vicentino's financial problems, I made the decision to look for a new club in December last year. I tore a knee ligament in my last game and wasn't able to play again for my new club Viareggio until the end of February. The goal was rescue – and we succeeded. And I was also satisfied with my performance.”

… a return to the Lega Pro, now Serie C: “It has become very concrete this year with a Serie C club, but unfortunately this club is too far away for me. I want to stay in northern Italy.”

…a commitment to AC Trento: “I am in contact not only with Trent, but also with Dro and Levico. A commitment 'on your own doorstep' would of course be a great thing. But I also have offers from Veneto and I’ll see where the path leads.”

… a move to the top league: “At this point I don’t want to resort to this option. Instead, I want to invest another year to achieve something, i.e. play a good championship. Just to confirm myself. A move to the top league will definitely come sooner or later – but at this point in time that would be a personal defeat.”

… bad luck with injuries: “Two years ago I had to have an Achilles tendon operation, which set me back a lot. It took me seven to eight months to get back to my old self. That was also one of the reasons why I had to say goodbye to the Series C. I suffered from the knee injury in December last year for a long time, but now I'm in top shape again and want to get started again in the new football year.

... the burden of the many club changes: “The only stressful thing is actually moving. The new cities, the new regions were always positive experiences for me. Perhaps it would often have been more advantageous to stay at a club for two or three years. But in football it’s not always that easy.”
