Since Aleksandar Dragovic this summer to “his” Vienna Austria after returning and everything is going well, the 33-year-old player, 100-time ÖFB team has given the necessary stability to the defense. A native of Vienna with Serbian roots forms with the veterans Galvão & Philipp Wiesinger (see also exclusive series portal interview) and Tin Plavotić has a well-practiced defensive team, they are on the road to success with the Violets and today they celebrated their sixth consecutive victory with Helm’s team in the Bundesliga ADMIRAL, and then at Sky Sport Austria in the broadcast “Talk & Talk” to answer questions.
He brings his experience as a legionnaire abroad for many years (Red Star Belgrade, FC Basel, Dinamo Kyiv, Bayer 04 Leverkusen and Leicester City) and from 100 international games in the ÖFB team: Aleksandar Dragović (born: March 6, 1991 in Vienna ). The 33-year-old was not there in the first round of BL because he was not eligible to play at the time and was then in the starting line-up in all 13 games for Wiener Austria, from his youth the defender comes. .
Aleksandar Dragović (defense chief of FK Austria Vienna) about…
…death Austria’s strong form in the last few weeks: “The most important thing is how we perform as a team and also how we train. Many are not in the squad or have only seen a few minutes of action. But they also work hard in training and still give it their all. This is what sets us apart. That’s why we often get a little lucky at the end of the day.”
…death Goals of Austria Vienna: “Obviously our goal is to get into the top circumstances. Of course things are looking good now. We are still far from dreaming of winning the championship. We strive for good training week after week and 100% delivery. That’s what the fans expect from us and that’s what we’ll continue to do.
Of course I want to be a hero with Austria Vienna. Of course it is a very ambitious goal. We still have to leave the church in the village for the first year. We must try to collect as many points as possible. The obvious target is the master group. If you spread the points, you’ll see what’s possible.”
Aleksandar Dragović plays an important role in FAK Neo head coach Stephan Helm’s playing system. In their last six Bundesliga wins en suite, the Violets have kept four clean sheets and conceded just two goals in total.
…death Balance in the league: “When I came here, I was surprised. Anyone can really win against anyone. You can see that now with Salzburg, who are falling off a bit at the moment. Anyone can win against anyone. That’s exciting for the audience as well.”
… his Change to Wiener Austria, which dragged on for a few weeks: “There were some differences of opinion with Jürgen Werner. I then told him my attitude. Which I want because Austria Vienna has to be in the top three. That has not been the case in the last three years. And it didn’t look like that in the summer either. That’s why it took a little longer.
But in the end we found each other. I didn’t come here to play the golden pineapple. I want to be in the top three. Where Austria belongs. I’m used to winning. I played the lottery once in three years at Red Star and there were fans in the dressing room. We have to deal with the pressure. I want to bring Austria back to where it belongs.”
… the ÖFB team: “It’s all over me. The national team is playing superbly now, that must be said clearly. I don’t want to bring up the topic again now. Of course I was obviously disappointed. In 12 or 13 years I have only been canceled once because of the Crown.
Almost like Marko (Name: Arnautovic)the only person who has always been there. And then every day, as if I wasn’t there. I already had a chat with the team boss. That’s when we talked it out. Of course it’s a shame that I’m no longer part of this team. But you have to accept that. Time heals all wounds. Of course I wish the team all the best.

How has Aleksandar Dragović’s leadership influenced FK Austria Wien’s recent success?
Interview between Time.news Editor and Football Expert on Aleksandar Dragović’s Impact at Austria Wien
Time.news Editor: Good day, and welcome to this exciting interview. Today, we’re diving into the recent success of FK Austria Wien and the standout contributions of their defense chief, Aleksandar Dragović. Joining me is our football expert, Markus Schneider. Markus, thank you for being here.
Markus Schneider: Thank you for having me! It’s a pleasure to discuss Aleksandar Dragović and the resurgence of Austria Wien.
Editor: Let’s start with Dragović. He’s been a pivotal figure in the team since his return this summer. What qualities does he bring that make such a significant impact on the defense?
Markus: Dragović’s experience is invaluable. He’s played at top clubs like Bayer Leverkusen and Leicester City, and he has over 100 caps for the Austrian national team. His presence not only stabilizes the backline but also instills confidence in his teammates. He organizes the defense effectively, and his strong communication skills ensure everyone is on the same page.
Editor: You’ve mentioned stability. Austria Wien has celebrated six consecutive victories recently. How much of that can be attributed to Dragović’s leadership on the pitch?
Markus: Quite a bit! His leadership has been crucial, especially in building a cohesive defensive unit with veterans like Galvão and Philipp Wiesinger. Keeping four clean sheets in their last six games emphasizes their defensive prowess, which Dragović plays a central role in. His presence helps in maintaining focus and discipline even in high-pressure situations.
Editor: In a recent interview, Dragović emphasized the importance of teamwork and training. How do you see that reflecting in their recent form?
Markus: Absolutely. Dragović’s insistence on teamwork is vital. He recognizes that success in football comes from collective effort. The fact that players not in the starting squad still push hard in training showcases the kind of culture they are building at Austria Wien. It fosters a competitive spirit, which is essential for maintaining consistency week after week.
Editor: He also mentioned their aspirations to reach the championship group. Given their current performances, do you think they have a realistic shot at that?
Markus: Certainly, the goal is within reach, but it’s crucial that they remain grounded. While they’re in excellent form now, Dragović is right to emphasize the need for caution. Collecting points consistently is key, and if they can remain focused, there’s every chance they could compete for a top spot in the league.
Editor: Dragović also spoke about the balance in the league, suggesting it’s very competitive this season. What’s your take on that observation?
Markus: He’s spot on. The league’s parity has made every match unpredictable. Even traditionally strong teams like Salzburg are having inconsistencies. This opens the door for teams like Austria Wien to challenge and capitalize on any weaknesses. It certainly adds an exciting dynamic for fans and players alike!
Editor: there was some talk about his move to Wiener Austria ‘dragging on’ due to differing opinions. How might that initial uncertainty affect a player’s integration into a new team environment?
Markus: Uncertainty can be tough for any player. For Dragović, it likely meant he had to work extra hard to win over his teammates and coaching staff. However, his professionalism and pedigree have helped him adapt quickly. Once he settled in and showcased his capabilities, any lingering doubts transformed into a strong bond within the team, which is critical for their success.
Editor: Thank you for those insights, Markus. Dragović’s journey back to Austria Wien seems to be a fascinating narrative filled with resilience and ambition. It will be exciting to see how the rest of the season unfolds for both him and the team.
Markus: Thank you! I’m eager to see it as well. Austria Wien has a thrilling season ahead.
Editor: That wraps up our discussion. Stay tuned for more updates on FK Austria Wien and their pursuit of success in the Bundesliga!
