The Austrians' coach competed before the Euro 1/8 finals.

Head coach of the Austrian national team Ralf Rangnick shared his thoughts ahead of the match with Turecchina at Euro 2024.

“To achieve something that Austria has never achieved before, and to reach the quarterfinals, would mean even more richness for us. Few have realized that we will leave our groups without even talking about those who want to sit first in it. It’s not a shame that we ended up in the 1/8 finals.

Everything has reached the ground, no one in the camp thinks that we have already achieved what. For us, the Euro begins with duty in this country. It’s important to start from a clean arc, because we are now in playoff mode. We are obliged to live in this regime and enjoy it from the beginning.

We are playing with a team that is strong with the ball, and that brings a lot of passion into the match. We must be prepared for both speeches. We must bring our energy, which distinguishes us from others, to the field. We need hot hearts, not cold heads.

There is no single way to get through the tournament. It’s our responsibility to go through step by step.

We expect a strong performance, focused on our strengths, and we also know how far we can go at a higher price..

We marveled at the people of Turkey against the Czech Republic, if we knew that they would be our greatest rivals. The Czech Republic played even better in phases and was more physically prepared. The violence changed the game, and I can’t sing that it would have turned out the way it did if all the graves were on the field,” said Rangnik.
