The Vikonavians of the Vidensky Rapid made a statement with their request.

The head coach of the Austrian national team, Ralf Rangnick, showed his team's strength in the international friendly matches, reports the official website of the Austrian Football Federation.

The applicant did not find a place for the three Rapid Gravians who started homophobic chants after the Vidensky derby against Austria. We talk about goalkeeper Niklas Goedl, as well as forwards Marco Grull and Guido Burgstaller.

“These are the things that I will not tolerate from the team, whether I am a coach, either from the club or from the national team.

At this point, I see that the boys are seriously going to go to this level of nutrition and understand what it means for the people they are publicly portrayed or discriminated against in this way,” Rangnick is quoted as saying by The Guardian.

Last year, the Austrian Bundesliga disqualified two more Rapid players through the same chant. They were ordered to take part in the seminars due to discrimination.

The Austrian national team's application for the Bereznevo friendly matches looks like it's about to start:.

It is significant that the Austrians will play against Slovakia on the 23rd, and against Turecchin on the 26th.
