The public criticism some ÖFB officials to team boss Ralf Rangnick Of course, it has last week too Austria’s team player reached. Interim president Wolfgang Bartosch For example, meant that the team boss was “difficult”. Vice -president Hans Gartner even criticized the game idea under Rangnick and made the suggestion to “put himself in the back”.
Word donations that Austria’s kicker don’t want to leave. Now reported David praises to say. “I was very amazed when I read it. We players of course also talk to each other and have a clear opinion. We stand for cohesion and unity. And we have no understanding if our team boss is attacked from our own ranks. This is not good for our team and our complete association.”
“Without need and little constructive”
Alaba is annoyed visibly about the word donations from the Presidium. And that not for the first timeafter Gartner claimed in November that the players had threatened with strike. “It is not the first time that someone from the Presidium expresses himself in public in a way that we as a player cannot accept. In autumn it was said that we players had threatened with strike, which has been proven to have been unused. And now our trainer is criticized and the way of playing the national team is analyzed, without need and little constructive,” said the 32-year-old.
That Alaba himself For proactive football is not new. Accordingly, the Legionnaire from Real Madrid also little with the demand that the team should be like before put in the back. “Everyone saw that we were clearly better in two games against Serbia. Unfortunately, we didn’t use our chances. But if someone says now we should put ourselves in the back and change our way of playing, then he has no idea about football. We want and have to play football exactly as our team boss lets us be successful. I am absolutely certain that we are on the right track together.”
Alaba cannot understand that team boss Ralf Rangnick is “difficult”, as Bartosch claimed. “The coach is not difficult at all. He tries to do everything to make Austrian football developing positively. It delivers professional work and demands it. If this is difficult, I wish that the new president will also be difficult.”
