Guido Burgstaller: Comeback after the horror hit-footballer of the year!

In an impressive return to football, Guido Burgstaller, the injured Rapid striker, received the award as a "crown" footballer of the year. With a whopping 99,580 votes, he was named the winner before the Christoph Baumgartner playing in Leipzig. This honorable award means a lot for Burgstaller, not least after the cruel beating attack, which led him to a broken skull in December and changed his life. "Without the incident, I would never have won the trophy," said Burgstaller, who, despite the difficult time, draws positive energy and is preparing for his comeback, as the Krone reported.

"Football is no longer priority number one," the 35-year-old emphasized in an interview. The incident has not only changed his view of life, but has increased the close relationship with his family. Nevertheless, the ambition drives him to return to Rapid and return something to the fans: "I am happy about every little step and am in a test phase." As the key figure last season, in which he won the goal scorer crown with 21 goals, his absence was painfully noticeable how the team felt at the start of the season. Burgstaller, known for his humility, would not have chosen himself of the election: "I would have chosen Marko Arnautovic. He plays with an absolute top club and does important goals at Inter," says Burgstaller.

Next Sunday he will cheer on the Austrian team while being promoted to the A-League, and he is convinced that the success is tangible. "I am a fan of our team," Burgstaller is optimistic. Despite the difficulties, the rapid star remains a role model for many, because his unshakable will and the support of the fan base are progressing, so is also highlighted by SK Rapid
