Herzog ahead of EM hit
Rangnick has an answer for everything
"Krone" columnist Andreas Herzog analyzes Austria's chances against Turkey in the European Championship round of 16. "In Ralf Rangnick, Austria has a team manager who has an answer for everything."
In the 6:1 win in the test match, we had a perfect run of play and benefited from extremely high ball wins. Everyone must be aware that the European Championship round of 16 will be tighter. The fans can dream, the team manager and the team have to concentrate on the present. And, as in previous games, they must be passionate and intense right from the start.
The Turks are strong in terms of play, so it is an advantage that Hakan Çalhanoğlu, the captain and source of ideas who is also responsible for the free-kicks, is missing. But they have a number of highly talented players, of whom Arda Güler stands out. He has huge potential and is an elegant and creative left-footer. Real Madrid are also convinced of him. Normally such young players are loaned out, but Güler is already a permanent fixture in the Royal Madrid squad.
The starting position for our team is similar to before the group game against Poland. Three points are at stake and there will again be phases in which we have to cope with setbacks - we did that well twice against Poland and Holland.
The Turks know that we are in form. In Ralf Rangnick, Austria have a team manager who has an answer for everything. This ability also makes us optimistic about the round of 16.
