Rangnick turns 66
ÖFB team players celebrate birthday boy
Even before training on Saturday morning, the Austrian national team players congratulated their team boss on his 66th birthday. Among other things, Ralf Rangnick received a cake and a poster signed by all the players showing the German in a celebratory pose immediately after the win against the Netherlands.
A serenade was also performed, but the old Udo Jürgens popular song "Mit 66 Jahren, da fängt das Leben an" was not sung.
The subsequent session in the stadium on the pitch was attended by 25 players, including Philipp Lienhart, Leopold Querfeld and Phillipp Mwene, who had been absent on Friday. Only Gernot Trauner was still absent - the central defender is suffering from a muscle injury and his participation in the European Championship round of 16 on Tuesday in Leipzig is extremely doubtful.
Off to Leipzig on Monday
The Austrians will travel to Leipzig by bus on Monday afternoon. In the evening, a site inspection and a press conference with Rangnick and a player are on the agenda. The final training session will take place at lunchtime on the usual training pitch in the stadium on the pitch in Berlin's Olympic Park, just like the day before the last European Championship matches.
