Pink's comeback: From the bench to a brace - the striker's soaring heights!
Markus Pink, the 34-year-old WAC striker, celebrated an impressive comeback in the away game against Rapid Vienna last Saturday. After a challenging first half of the season, in which he was only used sporadically and his form left something to be desired, he showed his class in Rapidler's 3-1 defeat. Pink came on as a substitute in the 64th minute and scored both the equalizer and the decisive goal in stoppage time. “A very nice, liberating feeling,” said the player after the game. “The fall wasn't the easiest for me, but it's nice that you're rewarded if you keep working quietly,” he added crown reported.
A new beginning with hard work
In order to rehabilitate himself from his difficult last few months, in which he struggled with injuries following his return from China and a transfer to Sandhausen, Pink had his eyes lasered during the winter break and lost five kilos at the same time. “From minus three diopters to 0 – now I have a clear view,” he explained proudly. These measures seem to have had their effect, as Pink is not only getting his fitness back, but has also proven that he has become a dangerous weapon on the pitch again. His goal is clear: after a time in the shadow of the Bundesliga, he wants to conquer the top scorer in Austria. This would be an extraordinary achievement as ten years have passed since the last Austrian, Philipp Hosiner, won this honor The press reported.
This season, Pink has already scored 16 goals in the first 22 rounds, and Sunday is the start of the championship group, where he can once again demonstrate his skills. His contract expires in the summer and the excitement surrounding his career is back in full swing. A request from Reggina from the Italian Serie B also made the football world sit up and take notice. Pink, who many already see as a free transfer king, could have numerous options to take his career to new heights in the summer.
