Berlin: Austrian have the class to go a long way at Euro 2024, and much credit must go to coach Ralf Rangnick who turned 66 on Saturday, the nation’s football legend Hans Krankl has said. “Austria doesn’t have to hide from anyone. Anything is possible at this European Championship - even up to the final. For me, Austria is currently one of the two best teams at this tournament, along with Spain,” Krankl told portal Sport1.
“Our team has played very well so far, it looks very homogeneous. And the boys have now confirmed their great form ahead of this European Championship.” Austria won a tough group ahead of France and the Netherlands. They face Turkey in the last 16 on Tuesday and could meet the Dutch again in the quarter-finals. Team captain David Alaba, part of the delegation despite not being able to play in connection with a severe knee injury, said on Saturday that the team is dealing well with the raised expectations.” (DPA)
