There was something rather fitting about that. Rangnick might have been shown the door at Manchester United and considered something of a control freak there, but since taking his leave in the winter of 2022, he has brought his ‘gegenpressing’ game to this small football nation and seen it take root.
‘He’s brought a new buzz in the country’, forward Nicolas Seiwald said in an interview with UEFA.com this week and that was certainly true last night, as the Austrians all-but eliminated Poland, who have no points and the French still left to play. That decisive goal came minutes after Poland’s last roll of the dice – throwing on Robert Lewandowski just before the hour mark.
But the talisman was booked with.
