World Cup qualifier: Austria's game of the last chance

On Tuesday in the World Cup qualifier, a game of final character is waiting for the World Cup qualification on Tuesday. Everything else than a victory in the Vienna Happel Stadium About Scotland would not only reduce the chances of rank two in Group F, but further reduce the mood barometer around the ÖFB selection. Team boss Franco Foda is in Israel after 2: 5, but was fighting on Monday. We know that is a final game for us, which we absolutely have to win. But we are absolutely able to do, the German said.

However, should not be retracted three points, it is likely to be really uncomfortable for FODA, also against the background that a new ÖFB president is being designated this week. But with this topic, I do not deal with because I assume that we win, emphasized the 55-year-old. He has absolute confidence in the team.

The National Trainer reiterated its extensive renunciation of the consumption of media, but he has nevertheless noticed the critique of recent days. Whether he feels it is unfair that after the EM two months ago still general satisfaction prevailed and now his transfer is required, Foda left open. This is part of the business. In football, there are fast tuning fluctuations in both directions, which must be accepted and respected.

Reports about an allegedly difficult relationship between trainers and players rejected Foda. From my side, I have a very good relationship with the team. The coach received support in this matter of David Alaba. If we did not have a good relationship with the coach, we would not have played an EM in any case. In addition, the Real-Madrid professional said: The relationship is still good and the mood within the team is good.

Foda leaves system open

In view of the current team boss discussion, the athletic aspect was almost in the background on the final press conference. Schottland play a similar system with three internal defenders like Israel, but both teams are only partially comparable to each other, so Foda. The Scots are very robust, play many long balls and are dangerous for standards. This is a powerful team, there are two fights and second balls, we have to prepare.

Ball factories in dangerous zones, as they reach Israel, are likely to be more difficult against the Scots. We want to press already, but know that they often play long balls, said Foda.

The Happel Stadium notes for ÖFB-Blamage in Haifa

The system question made the team boss unanswered, but pointed out that Scotland had to problems on Saturday at the 1-0 against the Moldauer acting with three domestic defenders. Also, the normally always with a four-circled Danes switches in the 2-0 against the Scots in the previous week on three central defrosters. He will definitely make the Israel Partie in any case one or the other change, announced Foda.

Whatever the starting formation and the system will look like - Patzer as in Haifa must be avoided. Each player knows which mistakes were committed. We have addressed that in peace and with the necessary objectivity, but already clear in the details, Telled Foda.
