ÖFB team boss franc fuck will remain loyal to his EM formation in the decisive final group game against Ukraine today. Marko Arnautovic will play and should be the only change in personnel. He has to bring the surprising into the so far disappointing offensive game.
Playing chances is not easier compared to the 2-0 draw against the Netherlands, even if the Ukrainians are individually not nearly as well-filled as the Elftal – unless the ÖFB team finally picks up the pace and at least moves the opposing defense with them indicated depths.
A position swap could help in building up the game from defense: David praise changed in both previous group games in the final phase Martin Hinteregger the places. Alaba can do a lot more on the ball in his best position as a left half-back. Against North Macedonia he prepared the 2-1, against the Netherlands the change fizzled out in the general disorder.
It is to be expected that Ukraine will have no problem letting Austria play the ball – as they did against the Netherlands (2: 3), in which the team manager’s team Andrei Shevchenko had just 38 percent possession. One point is enough for the Ukrainians for second place, which is why they will probably be lurking on the counterattack. With Andrey Jarmolenko and Roman Jaremtschuk two previous EM double scorers can hurt the ÖFB team in a counterattack. The counter-risk is all the greater when Austria is so badly matched against the Netherlands in counter-pressing.
The minimum requirement for the ÖFB team before the EM kick-off was the round of 16. Against nominally stronger opponents such as the Dutch, the ÖFB team traditionally did not get anything countable under Foda in competitive games. Ukraine is a team on a qualitative level. If you don’t want to go home after the group stage at an EM, you have to score at least the necessary point against this opponent. Otherwise, “disappointment” must appear as a title above the EURO balance sheet.
