The game was already over when Nikita Rukavytsya in the 64th Moment on the sideline nervously tugged at his shirt, waiting to be exchanged for his Australian team-mate Richard Garcia. In the first group match of the World Cup in South Africa against Germany had already taken his team to 0-2 and was only ten men.
Than six minutes after coming off the bench it was 0:4, and Rukavytsyas World Cup debut had failed properly. "Not a particularly good game" was that the 23-year-old says today: ".. The Germans were disciplined, incredibly fast and we had no chance" Australia has had in the preliminary round for Rukavytsya, who at the age of 14 years.
was his family from Mykolaiv in Ukraine to Perth migrates presented as this bitter first World Cup experience a turning point. Prior to the fledgling career of the winger appeared in the lowlands of the Belgian league to silt up. His original club, Twente Enschede in the Netherlands, had had a left-footer from the relegation candidates KSV Roeselare awarded and rejected it.
to know about the son of the former Hertha BSC professionals Eyjölfur Sverrison the Rukavytsya in Roeselare, first contact have been to the Berliners. The league relegated committed to relieving free midfielder in the summer as a reserve player. Not even Markus Babbel, Hertha's new coach, believes that the Australians would get much use with Ukrainian pass time in the second division.
But Rukavytsya moved into the first team won, immediately on the right wing and scored his first goal on Matchday. "Ruka" is a remarkable development made by us, with no one expected, "says Babbel A second division players could mostly everything exceptionally well, the 38-year-old Rukavytsya have but two particularly outstanding weapons.." His incredible speed and its strong left foot.
"With his running style slightly bent forward Rukavytsya sometimes recalls a greyhound, which flanks the persistently high and chasing down. Successful: He scored in 25 operations for the first four goals of the second division, and prepared ten to, along with teammate Adrian Ramos he is second best rigger in the league.
"This season is great for me so far," says Rukavytsya. In Berlin, he has gained much self-confidence: "Today I am a much better player than at the World Cup." And in fact, on good days, the most striking Rukavytsya winger in the league. But sometimes he seems apathetic. A bit like the Hertha.
Often the first league ready, now and then below average. In the Australian Football Association have observed Rukavytsyas developments closely. After the World Cup sparked Holger Osieck the Dutchman Pim Verbeek as head coach. The German is increasingly beside the veteran stars such as goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer from Fulham and striker Harry Kewell Galatasaray of Istanbul, including for young professionals who earn their money in Europe.
This gave Borussia Dortmund's goalkeeper Mitch Langerak for the friendly against Germany for the first time an invitation. Because against the DFB-selection in addition to the midfield Tim Cahill also missing injured Jason Culina, Osieck has re-nominated even the 22-year-old Robbie Kruse of the second division club Fortuna Dusseldorf.
Kruse had signed a few days ago a three-year contract in Dusseldorf. Because of injury-related cancellations Rukavytsya has a good chance to come in Monchengladbach for his eighth international cap. During the Asian Cup in Qatar in January, where the "Socceroos" part for the first time, Osieck had waived.
But with strong performances in the second half managed Hertha the way back into the team. In the team's games Osieck body shaped and disciplined, says the 23-year-old. "Maybe a little more German." The team had compared to 4-0 in South Africa developed and put up more this time against Germany, believes Rukavytsya.
Whether he did before the European Championship in Poland and Ukraine in 2012 sometimes thought aground rather for his native country Ukraine rather than Australia? "When I was a kid, I always wanted to play for the Ukrainian national team. My heart is still in it. However, I am now very proud to play for my new home in Australia."
