TOP LEAGUE SERIES | St. Georgen: Oscar ceremony with a happy ending?

Started as one of the favorites for the title, ended up in fourth place: the past season was not completely satisfactory for St. Georgen. There were many reasons for this: There was the chronic bad luck with injuries, there was the not very effective offensive (46 hits - weakest value in the top 5) and there were also the after-effects of the previous season (many players completed both play-and-play games in the summer of 2016, for example). Offs as well as the Europeada).

The club management reacted to this - and in addition to the promising talents such as Alex Demetz and Benjamin Zulic, Matthias Bacher, one of the best strikers in the region, was brought to the Pustertal.

Entrances and exits Additions: Damian Söhnele (goal/stegen), Alex Demetz (defense/FC Südtirol youth), Benjamin Zulic (defense/Vahrn), Stefan Oberkofler (defense/own youth), Elias Mairhofer (midfield/own youth), Matthias Bacher (attack/naturals )

Departures: Patrick Pietersteiner (goal/Bruneck), Hannes Winkler (defense/study reasons), Benjamin Harrasser (midfield/Reischach), Lukas Hochwieser (attack/Mareo), Manuel Pipperger (attack/Ahrntal)

The trainer Patricia Morini . He is now something of a coaching veteran at “Jergina”. Knows the club, team and league better than the back of his hand and also knows how to win a major league championship (as was the case in 2010/11).

The player Matthias Bacher. Hit the target a total of 74 (!) times in the last three years at Naturns and is now not afraid of the 122 kilometer long journey from the Lower Vinschgau to the Pustertal in order to hunt for goals for St. Georgen. If he remains injury-free, he will probably do over 20 huts again this year and solve the “Jergina” clipper problem. Which would finally make St. Georgen a team for the top.

The goal The club's big goal is to improve on fourth place from last year. In other words: The “Jergina” want to have an important say in the fight for the title.

If the team were celebrities, then... Leonardo DiCaprio - at least if you take the last few years into account. Just like the millionaire actor on Oscar night, the people of Pusteria also sniffed out the big coup, i.e. the top league title, year after year. But even despite outstanding performances (including the 2014/15 and 2015/16 seasons, when they came 'only' second with 67 and 62 points), the reward sometimes failed to materialize. But savvy film connoisseurs know: DiCaprio recently nabbed the Oscar. A good omen for the “Jergina”?

St. Martin's team presentation continues on Thursday. Teams already presented: Ahrntal Bolzano FC Brixens Naturno Obermais
