ÖFB team after Nations League duel: We have to use our chances!”

Austria's national football team appears in a mixed light after the Nations League duel against Serbia (March 20, 2025). Team boss Ralf Rangnick summarized that his team was superior in all areas, but the large number of missed opportunities left a sting. “We have to blame ourselves for not deciding the game early,” explained Rangnick. During the game, the team created notable scoring chances, but was only able to convert a few into goals. Michael Gregoritsch, who appeared as the goalscorer, remarked: "We really played a decent game, but didn't take advantage of the chances to score. We have to take credit for that."

Another highlight was the performance of striker Marko Arnautovic, who said of the game: “We certainly deserved more.” He emphasized the importance of winning the second leg and added: "But we just have to 'kill' the game, as the coach says. I'm a striker, I have to score goals, that's what was missing today." The 35-year-old also said that he had to deal with a sore kneecap during the game, which could be a critical moment for the upcoming games. Everyone involved is now looking forward to the next challenge, which is coming up next Sunday.
