Rangnick's outlook on the second leg

In the press conference after the game, Rangnick already looked at the second leg in Belgrade, which still appears open and exciting. He emphasized the need for a more efficient performance and expected a more defensive appearance of the Serbian team. Rangnick said: "We had the game under control for 94 minutes. [...] Unfortunately, the result does not reflect that." This assessment was taken by Puls24.at

The Austrian team is also faced with personnel changes.
