Austria plays soon against Algeria. It is the last group game. The game is in the city Kansas-City. One point is enough for Austria. Then the team goes to the next round. That is the Sechzehntel-Finale.
Coach Ralf Rangnick trains the team. He wants to win the game. He does not want a Remis. There is a story from 1982. It was a bad day for both countries. People call it the shame of Gijon.
Ralf Rangnick says: That is a long time ago. The players were not born then. The weather in the USA is difficult. It is very hot. In Kansas-City there is also much rain. Maybe there is a storm during the game.
Some players have yellow cards. These are Konrad Laimer, Marcel Sabitzer and Stefan Posch. Another card means they cannot play. But Rangnick uses his best players. He takes no risk.
