The good news for Austria’s football fans is that Ralf Rangnick and his players have not fell into mind. At the final press conference before the World Cup qualifier against Romania (Saturday, 8:45 p.m.), it was not possible to hear that Romania was a weak opponent that you expect a simple game and that the KAS was already eaten. “If you let them kick them, they can of course play really well. But of course we don’t have that,” said Rangnick, and emphasized Romania’s strong midfield with clocking gear Nicolae Stanciu and the wing racers Florin Tanase and Dennis Man. In addition to Rangnick, Konrad Laimer sat and explained what the team wants to present to the sold-out Happel Stadium: “Our football, our intensity, our energy.”
