One of the keys to the amazing selection of Austria by Ralf Rangnick led the very difficult group D, which included the favorites France and the Netherlands, It is in their offense, where two players stand out who represent the proud virtues of the country they play for: Marcel Sabitzer and Christoph Baumgartner.
Both show the innovative attacking technology of an Austrian team that has surprised everyone and everything since the beginning of the tournament, where they undeservedly fell to the French team, the result of an accidental own goal, but from in which they recovered to be buried in Poland and describe the Netherlands.
Two technical players, remarkable for the fan and a good vision of the game perfectly combined. This pair’s last act, the play that meant the winning goal against the tulips: the ball was leaked by Baumgartner at the cost of the entire Dutch defense and a point-blank shot by Sabtizer to make the final 3-2 in the match. But this tandem is more.
Baumgartner is the compass that guides the entire offensive arsenal of the Central Europeans. His previous performance Poland This is an anthology. Despite the warning of a yellow card received on debut against France, the midfielder of RB Leipzig nothing is hidden inside.
His clairvoyance at the core leaves, in a great 20 minutes at the beginning, to Sabitzer himself and to Captain Arnautovic in a good situation to increase the 1-0 advantage that ‘Burschen’ had, but both strikers were unsuccessful in the early stages.
Poland He tied the rivalry and increased his presence in the match while waiting for his star to take the field. Robert Lewandowski. But in those moments of doubt it was Baumgartner He brought to the game all the football he had in his boots.
The striker has been on the pitch for almost five minutes. Barcelonawhen a ball projected in the center of the area is well controlled by the player of Leipzig to send it into the back of the net with an accurate shot and bring the Berlin Olympic Stadium to his feet.
then, Sabitzer He began a solo gallop to receive a penalty, later converted by Arnautovicto correct his actions.
On the final date of the first stage, again at the coliseum in the German capital, Baumgartner, still warned of the penalty, started from the bench; and the drawback of Borussia Dortmund its benefits multiply.
When Rangnick he took the midfielder onto the field Leipzig, the final ecstasy occurred. From the neat vision of the one and the finishing force of the other came the signature of the match, which pushed Austria in leadership, he came down France and Netherlands of the head, and threw it into the comfortable part of the final draw, with the possibility of expanding the frontier to an unprecedented level in the history of the Austrian team – they have never made it to the quarterfinals of a European Championship.
Turkey is the next opponent to test the sophisticated German technology with which it attacks Austria.
