With the contract extension of Thomas Höneckl, the goalkeeper trio of the Black Wings is fixed and the squad planning is almost completed. In the OÖN ICHRECHER PODCAST we talk to the 35-year-old about what is important to him in a contract and why it can be more advantageous if he is not at the negotiating table as a player himself.
So far, he has not yet received a precise role description for his position. He looks forward to the future – “and should Martin Reder overtake me, I am happy for him because he really deserves it.” The native of Salzburg, who will contest his 19th year with missions in the highest domestic league, also talks about things that he has to learn over time. Like the control of feelings when he doesn’t play in the playoff. “It used to be easier, but the later you are in your own career, the more difficult it is to find out that you don’t play.”
“Nobody wants to see me in a perfect world”
The 1B goalie continues: “You know that it could be the last time that you can play in a semi -finals. From the mid -30s, you are a negative season – be it because of injuries or your own performance – removed from the career and the curtain falls.
In addition, “nobody wants to see me in a perfect world in the playoff” when it comes to the playoffs. Because that would mean that the Rasmus Tirrons is good in the series and the team also plays well and therefore does not need a new input. Höneckl: “It is, as Andreas Kristler said. You have more fire because you become aware that it can be over quickly.”
