Legend Hans Krankl (71) has high hopes for Austria's national team at the finals in Germany. The "Goleador" talks to the "Krone" about the new role of captain David Alaba, team boss Ralf Rangnick and why he won't be watching the games in public. 

"Krone": Hans, seven games unbeaten, for many a secret favorite for the European Championship - what makes our team so strong?
Hans Krankl: I think we have an exceptional generation of players who are currently developing their great potential. We have around 40 legionnaires at well-known clubs who have performed well this year and for years - they bring that impressively to the team.
