Rangnick: We should have spent the last 30 seconds to keep the score 0-0, but we did something stupid

In the European World Cup qualifiers held early this morning, Austria lost 0-1 away to Romania. Austria coach Rangnick was interviewed after the game.

Austria lost the ball in the 5th minute of stoppage time and suffered a tragic victory. Rangnick expressed dissatisfaction: "In the last few minutes of the game, we had a lot of possession and Romania actually didn't want to attack anymore. Obviously, there were only about 30 seconds left in the game, but we also tried to pass the ball to break through, which was not the wisest decision tactically. In that case, we We should run out the game time so that we can go home with a score of 0-0. In Austrian terms, we did do something stupid."

Currently, Austria still ranks first in the group with 15 points and controls the initiative to advance, followed by Bosnia and Herzegovina with 13 points and Romania with 10 points. Rangnick continued: "Today we had the opportunity to take an important step towards the World Cup."
