Michael Gregoritsch has a career.
The Augsburg forward was often criticized in the past for his performance in the ÖFB team while playing big for their clubs. However, for some time that tide has turned. In the 1-0 Nations League win away from Northern Ireland, the 26-year-old attacker was once again the winner of the match.
In the last three Nations League games he scored twice, in the friendly against Greece he provided an assist and started the second goal in exemplary fashion. This form can be seen in view of next year’s Euro Cup.
Does Gregoritsch qualify it that way himself?
“You can tell it works,” says Gregerl at ORF. “I’m relatively happy that it was like that. It’s something very special to score for the national team. And the fact that we won 1-0 later is of course even better.”
“So it’s fine on the front too”
The forward often had to queue at the rear or prioritize players like Marko Arnautovic at the top. It was also tested in positions where it did not contribute its strengths as with the golden shot.
On the flank of forward Martin Hinteregger, he did not burn for long and headed the ball from an unsustainable close range. He recently said in an interview that he is most comfortable behind the solo striker as a hanging tip.
“Yes, but basically I also said that it doesn’t matter where I am on the piece of paper and in the team line-up. The important thing is that I can move a lot. If we play football like we did in the first one. If you have taken the break, that’s fine too in the front “, smiles the winner of the match after the variant with him as a forward had also worked.
It was actually a sovereign performance by the ÖFB team and yet the Foda-Elf had to be chalked up to change gear in the second half.
Self-critical Gregoritsch: “We have to be awake”
Gregoritsch also had the same impression on the field that some uncertainties led to control of the first 45 minutes no longer being able to be maintained.
“I think the Northern Irish threw everything forward. We weren’t as confident with the ball as we were in the first half, especially when we won the balls. We lost a lot of balls in advance, our counterattacks weren’t good Then you get into a wave of attacks from the Northern Irishmen, “said the new ÖFB goalkeeper self-critical after his fourth team hit.
“But I think we defended him very well from 20 meters in front of the goal. I don’t remember any scoring opportunities except the one at the end; we have to be awake then of course. But the important thing was that we kept zero. It’s a nice feeling for Pavao (note: Pervan) who played zero for the first time. “
Anyway, there is no break, on Wednesday there will be more important points against Romania, the last in 2020. However, you can enjoy the moment for a moment. “Now we are first, we have six points and we are satisfied.”
