After all, he fulfilled his dream he had since a young age: to become a professional goalkeeper. But, that wasn&#8217;t predictable at all: While his cousins were always playing, he sat on the sidelines. No desire. &#8220;I hated football or I didn&#8217;t like it like that.&#8221; Only at some points he joined the others and because of his height he was put in goal. His grandfather and father were also goalkeepers, and it soon became clear that Markus could follow their footsteps.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-jw6bff4w-f20afd3e043fb8abe3b6d18c9665d316\">\n#top .hr.av-jw6bff4w-f20afd3e043fb8abe3b6d18c9665d316{\nmargin-top:00px;\nmargin-bottom:30px;\n}\n.hr.av-jw6bff4w-f20afd3e043fb8abe3b6d18c9665d316 .hr-inner{\nwidth:350px;\nborder-color:#020202;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-jw6bff4w-f20afd3e043fb8abe3b6d18c9665d316 hr-custom  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  hr-center hr-icon-no'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-thin'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-jw6a6suh-e75a2f9902c834cf7410c4590ae8b2f1 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8220;I had nothing else on my mind&#8221;<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-jw6a6suh-e75a2f9902c834cf7410c4590ae8b2f1 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Then it quickly became more of a concrete sport for Markus: via SK Pama and SC Neusiedl, he moved to Academy Burgenland at the age of 14, where he went to boarding school, and football became more of a focus. &#8220;I had nothing else on my mind.

But Markus didn&#8217;t care, &#8220;I had nothing to lose&#8221;. He helped the club to maintain its class.
