The Austrian coach Ralf Rangnick He does not trust passing the second round as one of the best third parties and bet tomorrow on a victory against Netherlandswhich would give him at least second place in the group and with it the classification.
“Naturally the best is to be first in the group, but for that we have to win and France gone and you can’t wait that long. But we have to find second place and that means winning the game,” he said.
“I have given up doing the math on how we would be classified as third. And I don’t care if they tell me that we have a 98.7 percent chance of already being classified. 98.7 percent is not 100 percent,” he said.
Rangnick was also unhappy with a draw which would have boosted his chances of qualifying third. “Our way of playing doesn’t allow us to go out and look for a tie,” he said.
Netherlands, “almost” at the level of France
Regarding the rival, Rangnick said that this is a team with great individual quality and that, he assured, “it tries to play the same football since the time of Johann Cruyff“.
“This is a team with great individual quality and at this point is almost at the same level as France. “He wants to have possession of the ball and play between the lines,” he said.
“Given that, we have to try to be synchronized in our work against the ball and also have phases in which we have possession of the ball,” he added.
