After defeating Norway on Monday, the ÖFB team welcomes Romania. The opponent pays Austria respect in advance.
Successful start! The ÖFB team beat Norway 2-1 in the first round of the Nations League on Friday. Star forward Erling Haaland could only show himself in one action, with his connecting goal. Otherwise, Austria controlled the match from long range.
The second match of the UEFA competition will follow on Monday. Romania makes a guest appearance in Klagenfurt. The team boss, Franco Foda, warns that it will be a different game, but not easier.
Its counterpart goes even further. Romania’s team boss Mirel Radoi spoke about Austria only in the highest tone at the final press conference.
He was impressed with the performance against Norway. Besides this match, he also watched many other Nations League matches. Including those of the largest soccer nations in Europe: France, Germany, Spain, Belgium. But: “No team has managed to show as much intensity as Austria did against Norway.”
That shows a lot of respect. Radoi spoke in awe of Foda’s troops. “Austria has great personalities, a lot of experience. But what they show as a collective is also impressive.”
Romania separated from Northern Ireland with a 1-1 draw.
