In the land of awarded opportunities – diepresse.com
The ÖFB team plays refreshing football under Ralf Rangnick and creates opportunities, but always faces the same problem: it scores too few goals.
Ralf Rangnick sat in the press center of the Ernst Happel Stadium at a late hour. He looked thoughtful. To assume helplessness would have been an exaggeration. The 94 minutes against Serbia in the first leg of the Nation’s League play on Thursday, however, had undoubtedly left traces in German. What happened? Austria had played a good game and checked his opponent over long distances of the game. You were the clearly better team.
And now to the problem. The ÖFB team had not rewarded itself for its good and courageous appearance. Again not. The 1: 1 was everything, just not a performance -based draw. The Serbs themselves do not know how they could take a point from Vienna after this course of the game, Rangnick remarked an armpit. Instead of a win in the luggage, Austria traveled with the view of a completely open duel for the second leg to Belgrade (Sunday, 6 p.m., Live Servus TV).
