JEAN-MARIE PFAFF:

“Believe in yourself! Then you can achieve great things”

Belgium's former goalkeeper Jean-Marie Pfaff is a legend far beyond his home country. In Germany, he won the championship title three times with Bayern and also shone at the 1982 World Cup. He told the "Krone" what he thinks Austria can do at the upcoming EURO and why our national team can surprise like the "Red Devils".

Mr. Pfaff, there are 37 days to go until the EURO kicks off. Who is your favorite for the title this time?
Jean-Marie Pfaff: I'm not a clairvoyant, this question can only be answered seriously after the group stage. Because soccer is full of surprises these days. Who would have thought that we would win in Germany in 2023 for the first time in 69 years and then beat the Germans 2:0 in Vienna? Nobody!
