Career

Gustav Kral started playing football as a goalkeeper at ASV Vösendorf shortly after his eighth birthday . There he wandered through the various age groups and was also called up to regional selection teams. This also made the neighboring club VfB Admira Wacker Mödling aware of him, which is why he signed the 16-year-old in 1999. In the 2000/01 game year Kral came to two missions in the U-18 national team.
