“In my opinion, winning a point is almost a must, we should reward ourselves for our work. The praise is of no use if you don’t take anything away. We missed a huge opportunity.” Austria’s soccer team boss Irene Fuhrmann has learned lessons from the bitter 2-3 home defeat against Germany in Linz and has focused entirely on part two of the European Championship qualification double.
The world number 29 awaits on Tuesday (6 p.m., ORF 1). Poland and the “Miejski” in Gdynia, which was completely renovated from 2009 to 2011, a modern 15,000-capacity stadium where at least 3,500 fans will create a great atmosphere.
“I’m positively surprised, the atmosphere is absolutely great, even if it can mean a cauldron for us,” explained Fuhrmann. Both national teams are under pressure after the false start – Poland lost 3-0 in Iceland, but had a huge chance when the score was 0-0.
Second place and thus a direct ticket to the EURO 2025 in Switzerland is the goal, but the upcoming opponent is a difficult hurdle to overcome with many legionnaires, of which top scorer Ewa Pajor from VfL Wolfsburg stands out. “They can make life difficult for us,” says Nicole Billa, who is currently unable to get past top striker Eileen Campbell and still has a chance of winning her 100th international match today.
“It’s nice when you’re close to it. This is a success that fills me with pride,” said the Tyrolean, who will be moving to 1. FC Köln in the summer after nine years at TSG Hoffenheim.
