Rangnick Aims For Austria's First Victory At The Euros Against Poland

JAKARTA - After the Austrian national team lost 0-1 to the opening match of the Euro or Euro 2024 Group D against France at the Esprit Arena, Dusseldorf, Tuesday, June 18, WIB, Austrian national team coach Ralf Rangnick wants his first win against Poland at the Berlin Olympic Stadium on Friday, June 21 at 23.00 WIB.

In the match with a single goal scored through Maximilian Wober's own goal (38'), Austria was able to put up a fight for the 2018 World Cup champion.

Austria is pursuing a high-pressure strategy that makes it difficult for France to develop its game. However, until the end of the game, the chances created by Marcel Sabitzer and his friends failed to score goals to at least equalize.

"We created chances. Of course, France also created chances. I don't blame my team. They don't always make the right decisions, but don't forget who the opponent is," Rangnick said.

"France had more chances and it was a decent win. However, until the last minute, we were in it. We put everything on the pitch. Now we have to look forward and try to win against Poland on Friday," he continued. quoted from ANTARA, Tuesday, June 18.

Meanwhile, Sabitzer said The Boys had done everything to win. However, France's game, which he thinks is more efficient, makes Kes Bleus "a little more lucky" to get the three points.

"This is an open game that takes place back and forth. France is a little more efficient, a little more lucky and we have to accept it today," said the Borussia Dortmund player.

"We give everything and want to win, but against a country like that, unfortunately you are still on the losing side. We have to keep going, with Poland as the next opponent," he continued.
