UPDATE: Es hat geklappt - das Team von Red Bull Salzburg schafft das Wunder und fegt Lazio Rom mit 4-1 aus dem Stadion, Ray hat bis zur 84. Minute gespielt - Glückwunsch!

Daumen Drücken für einen Steemit Promi (Fußball)

Das soll positiv klingen (die Headline). Ray (Reinhold) Yano aka @modernpastor wird heute auflaufen im Rückspiel der Europa League für Red Bull Salzburg gegen den mehrfachen italienischen Meister Lazio Rom. Es gilt einen 2 Tore Rückstand aus dem Hinspiel aufzuholen,e ergo ein 2-0 würde reichen und @modernpastor ist dieses mal auf dem Platz - ich drücke alle Daumen, dass er es schafft. Ich glaube kaum ich muss Ihn hier vorstellen, daher nur bisserl mehr Background im Folgenden für unsere internationalen Freunde! Endlich komme ich zu einem Post, den ich eigentlich nach den beiden Spielen gegen Borussia Dortmund zu Ray schreiben wollte, da kam mir unser @theaustrianguy zuvor. Das Thema Red Bull und Sport Marketing werde ich künftig mal separat beleuchten. Ich habe einen großen Respekt was Red Bull generell im Sport Bereich leistet.

UPDATE: He did it - Salzburg booked their place in the UEFA Europa League semi-finals by a 4-1 win over Lazio Rome! Our Ray was playing until minute 84 - Congratulations!

Support a fellow Steemian

Hey guys - today we should all cross our fingers for a true Steemian playing in the European Football League to enter the semi finals against Lazio Rome - for our American buddies - you call it Soccer. Our very own @modernpastor is on the pitch this time for *Red Bull Salzburg". They need to score at least 2 goals in the second leg following a 4-2 defeat in the first leg. Tonight they welcome Lazio in the Europa League quarter-final and *Reinhold (Ray) Yabo aka @modernpastor will play after he was injured in leg 1!

Salzburg is reigning domestic champion in Austria and had their 19-game unbeaten European run ended in the first-leg. They can do it! I am confident - do it like you kicked-out Borussia Dortmund (even it still hurts....)!

Check his own preview post below - there are not that many celebs on Steemit! And this is an active one. A German Football player that will star next year in the Champions League busting Cristiano Ronaldo in Real Madrid!

Do you remember when I wrote about the first quarterfinal game against Lazio Rom? You remember when I told you that I should have played but because of sickness, I couldn't travel with the team. It was so frustrating.

And then we lost 4:2 against them.
Today the second leg takes place. It will be a tough game. We need to score at least two goals, and it would be good if we don't get one.

It's hard but not impossible. Look at the champions league results on Tuesday and Wednesday. Nobody thought that the giant Barcelona would lose against As Rom. We can make the same happen.
