The low-altitude Northern Irish would have made it very difficult for ÖFB-Elf, who let the ball circulate too slowly in the first half. The fact that three substitutes turned the game around gives hope.

Like after the 3-0 win over Luxembourg, after the 2-1 win over Northern Ireland in the ÖFB, all is not good. It is interesting, perhaps problematic, that the error analysis after victories, which were difficult to achieve, cover each other: “We moved the ball too slowly, we played from station to station rather than passing one rather than changing” says the captain. Julian Baumgartlinger. That would have been debated during the break and would have meant that Austria would have been better at the game.

Franco Foda also sees it like this: “You cannot hear the same statements over and over again, but it is difficult when a team of ten is behind. The stupid thing is that we also made mistakes. In the second half it was better and we are happy to have won the game “

Captain Baumgartlinger is encouraged by the fact that three substitutes decided the game: “But much better if you bring in three players from the bench who then change the game.”

David Alaba he saw in the compact and lowlands of the north the cause of the hard game. “It was difficult to find spaces and solutions. But on the field I always had the feeling that we came off the field as winners. It was not easy, I think we were the best team, so we deserved to win.”

Louis Schaub Y Adrian grbic so it is thanks to the fact that the ÖFB team was still able to win. The two ensured victory with their goals. “The job was simple – as a surrogate, it’s always the job to be able to make a difference. I’m happy when it’s successful. I checked the linesman to see if the door was off,” Schaub said. “You could see it was really tough, the Northern Irish just defended, they just wanted to play at zero and then take the lead, but it was a good sign from us that we turned the game around.” Grbic sees it similarly: “We went in to get the game going, we did it. Marko saw that I was running, the ball was amazing and then I scored the goal, but a striker has to do it.” do too “.

Marko Arnautovic also saw a well deserved victory: “It was difficult, it has nothing to do with the game, the Northern Irishmen have positioned themselves well, they only counterattacked, it was difficult to pass. We did better in the second half and ultimately they also deservedly won. “.
