One likes to lecture on “depth staggering”, “full-backs moving in”, “overloading the outside” or the “flat five”. The other doesn’t like to talk about football so much, but prefers to live it. Motto: In the end, the truth is on the pitch, we have to shoot it away, somehow.
Austria’s coach Ralf Rangnick and his leading player Marko Arnautović are the strangest couple to be seen at this European Championship. Perhaps they will also be the most successful.
