Austria's football team in front of a decisive duel: away to the record!

The tension for the Austrian football team, which meets Ernst Happel Stadium on Slovenia on Sunday, will meet on Sunday. With a win, the team of Ralf Rangnick could not only consolidate their position in the Nations League A, but also set an impressive record in Austrian football. Under the motto "We know what we can do", the team showed self -confidence and concentration without unnecessarily evaluating the opponent. The team boss left no doubt about his tactical orientation. In particular, the ability to stop Benjamin Sesko, the Slovenian striker, recalled the impressive defensive against Erling Haaland last month.

The disappointing start of the Nations League, which started with a 1-1 win over Slovenia in Laibach, seems to have been forgotten. This time the conditions on the square are optimal, which the team was able to test in an intensive training session on Saturday morning. Despite internal tensions, especially about the controversial transfer from managing director Bernhard Neuhold, the players are determined. Marcel Sabitzer, who stands before his 87th international match, spoke openly about the team dynamics: "We are uncomfortable and question things - that is part of it!"

a strong team and tactical considerations

The members of the team agree on their support for Neuhold. Sabitzer emphasized that her cohesion is strong: "We are a conspiratorial pile and go well together." The confidence in your own skills is unbroken, even after a long trip to Almaty. The players are preparing to show their best performance. Ralf Rangnick announced some personnel changes in the squad. Patrick Pentz will be in the goal, while other changes in defense and midfield are also expected.

The Slovenian team will not be easy to defeat. In addition to Sesko, there are two other players with a Austrian past: Dejan Petrovic, who played in Rapid, and Sandi Lovric, who moved from Sturm Graz to Udinese. This match is of particular importance not only for the players themselves, but also for their trainers. Werner Gregoritsch is adopted after the game, as is Werner Kogler, who was the last time as Vice Chancellor and Sports Minister. The atmosphere promises to become emotionally and exciting.

With a view to the coming game, the entire team is focused. The big goal remains clear: with a victory, the door to the Nations League A regret far and at the same time strengthen team culture. "It's not just about individual performance, but about the interaction and our strength as a unit," added Sabitzer. When asked how the team will manage the pressure, the answer simply remains: "We know what we can and are ready to fight."

Fans can look forward to an exciting duel that not only has sporting importance, but also sets the course for future cooperation in the team. Real passion for football and tireless commitment shape the mentality of the players. Speed and precision could be the key to success - both on and next to the square.
