In attack, Michael Gregoritsch was the most accurate ÖFB player in the national team last year with five goals in eight games. The 29-year-old Styrian wants to continue this run in the European Championship year.
After Sasa Kalajdzic’s injury-related absence (torn cruciate ligament) and Marko Arnautovic’s recurring muscular problems, a lot will depend on him at the European Championships. “For me it’s not a pressure, it’s a really nice thing that people in Austria perceive it in such a way that I could become important for the team. It’s a certain trust that you get. When so many people believe in you, it’s extra motivation.”
The OÖN match plan on the topic:
Gregoritsch has recently come to terms well in attack not only with Marko Arnautovic, but especially with Christoph Baumgartner. The fact that Gregoritsch and Baumgartner also have a close friendship makes things easier. “There is a blind understanding, you can tell”said Gregoritsch about the Leipzig attacker. “If you are best friends with someone off the pitch, that also makes a big difference on the pitch.”
This should also bring success at the European Championships. Gregoritsch didn’t want to overestimate the tough group opponents France and the Netherlands. “This is one of the greatest experiences you can have”said the attacker about his second European Championship participation. “I’m really craving it.” Gregoritsch last delivered in Freiburg. Coach Christian Streich, who is leaving the club at the end of the season, explained to him that his role as a joker also has to do with the tactical orientation. Gregoritsch: “He is very pleasant to deal with me. I learned a lot personally in the one and a half years – and football-wise anyway.”
