The Austrian team was unfortunately knocked out of the UEFA Europa League by Turkey in the one-eighth final, but the team's head coach, Rangnick, spoke highly of his team's performance in the tournament. According to him, the Austrian team showed a high level of spectacle in all four matches, although there were still shortcomings in some areas.
Rangnick pointed out that the Austrian team was not precise in all aspects of the game and that there is still a lot of room for improvement, especially in the passing game. However, he emphasized that the team played four games of both spectacle and high intensity, which is very rare. He mentioned that while watching other teams' matches, he sometimes even struggles to stay awake due to the tediousness of the game, but the Austrian team's matches have never made him feel that way.
For the coming matches, Rangnick expressed confidence. He believes that the Austrian team needs to take the momentum and confidence they have built up in the Euros and continue into the upcoming UEFA and World Cup qualifiers. He believes that as long as the team can maintain this high intensity and continue to improve their technical and tactical skills, they will have a good chance of successfully advancing to the World Cup proper.
