Pinks comeback: From the bank to a double pack - the striker's high altitude!

Markus Pink, the 34-year-old striker of the WAC, celebrated an impressive comeback last Saturday at the away game against Rapid Vienna. After a challenging first half of the season, in which he was only used sporadically and left his shape to be desired, he showed his class in the 3-1 defeat of the Rapidler. Pink was substituted in the 64th minute and scored both the equalizer and the decisive goal in added time. "A very nice, liberating feeling," said the player after the game. "Autumn was not the easiest for me, but nice that you will be rewarded when you continue to work," he added, as the Krone reported.

"From minus three diopters to 0 - now I have the perspective," he said proudly. These measures do not seem to have missed their effect, because Pink not only brings back its fitness, but has also proven that he has become a dangerous weapon on the pitch again.
