Not in demand at Bayer Leverkusen, Patrick Pentz took the plunge in the summer and moved to Brøndby Copenhagen in Denmark. There, the 27-year-old is in the middle of the title race - Austria's team goalkeeper talks about Leverkusen's bonus, the EURO and the connection to "protector" Ralf Rangnick in an interview with the "Krone".

"Krone": Patrick, the weeks of truth lie ahead of you: title fight with Brøndby in Denmark, then the EURO - the best phase of your career so far?
Patrick Pentz: For the first time, I can feel that something is at stake. I've never had this feeling of playing for titles before. Every game is a final, the pressure is enormous. The whole city lives it.
