Carsten Jancker finally “activates” a young Slovenian: Luka Brkić helps DSV Leoben to two wins, DSV Leoben hurtles towards promotion
In the autumn he played for
Triglav
, in the winter transfer window he decided to move to Austria. But the 20-year-old defensive midfielder from Kranj clearly found the jump abroad quite a challenge. It took Luka Brkić a while to make his debut for the club DSV Leoben. He only managed to do that last weekend, when he played against SAK, a club of Slovenian expatriates in Celje, but he obviously showed enough. Legendary coach Carsten Jancker, a former German international who also scored goals for Bayern and Udinese, has put him in the starting 11 for the first time since his transfer.
Luka Brkić and his teammates, including Slovenian goalkeeper Žan Pelko, beat USV St. Anna/Aigen 3-0 at home in front of 1,770 spectators. Both Slovenians, Pelko and Brkić, played from the first to the last minute and contributed to the victory, which gave DSV Leoben another big step towards promotion to the second Austrian league. With four rounds to go, DSV Leoben, who are on a run of ten consecutive wins (setting a club record), have a four-point lead over the reserve team of top-placed LASK Linz.
In the next round, Brkić and Pelko will play away at Deutschlandsberger SC, where Slovenian players Leon Oparenovič, who is the club’s captain, Patrick Robnik, Jakob Mesarič, Jure Grubelnik and Niko Tisaj are proving their worth. With 13 goals, he is the eighth top scorer and the most efficient Slovenian in the third Austrian league.
