1998It is the year in which both Austria and Romania last qualified at the World Championship. The Austrians missed the qualification in the eliminatory phases, ending on 3 in a group with Italy, Chile and Cameroon, while Romania was eliminated in “optimal” by Croatia, after finishing in the first place with England, Colombia and Tunisia.

Sold-out in Vienna! The “yellow wall” enters its role again

The “Ernst Happel” stadium in Vienna, the one on which the Euro 2008 final was played, He is ready to host Austria's match with Romaniathe first of Ralf Rantnick's team from the current qualifying campaign. The architecture of the arena in the heart of the capital of Austria is of Old-Chool type, serving strictly the first representative, being used for large concerts.

Ernst Happel, the one who gives the name of the stadium, is considered to be one of the greatest technicians in history – a true pioneer of “King sport”. He was the first coach in history to conquer the European Champions Cup with 2 different teams: Feyenoord (1970), a team eliminated by UTA Arad in the following season, and Hamburg (1983), the same team that Dinamo eliminates in fanfare in 1984, after a dream day of the AMO Trio (Augustin, Mulțescu, Orac), score 3-0!

Nor his performance in the post of player are negligible: 6 champion titles with Rapid Vienna, also part of the Austrian generation that obtained “bronze” at the 1954 World Championship – the most important performance in “Das Team” history.

24 hours before the first whistle of the match, the stadium is sold -out – over 48,000 tickets purchased. Officially, the Romanians had only 2000 tickets available, but, according to the Austrian officials, the Romanians bought tickets in other areas of the stadium! Over 15,000 supporters from the “yellow wall” are expected to encourage Stanciu & Co. On “Ernst Happel”!

Ralf Rantnick noted MAN, Stanciu and Tanase: “As long as you give them the opportunity, I can make the difference”

As we have seen at the European Championship and after the coach's change, it is obvious that we are talking about some valuable, powerful bands, which will surely be used tomorrow. In the middle is Stanciu, a very valuable player. We were preparing, we studied our opponent and we know that it will not be an easy match tomorrow.

I can't say I'm afraid of a player. Our style of play is very clear. They are very valuable players, you have the extremes on Tanase and Man, in the middle on Stanciuand all spaces are well covered. As long as you give them the opportunity for these players to express themselves, they can make the difference. This is why we don't want to offer them this chance.

The result of Romania with Bosnia was a great surprise for all Romanians. I saw the live match, the stadium was full, and the atmosphere, quite euphoric. I think there were over 50,000 fans present. It was a disappointing result for players, but Romania has created many opportunities for empty, which, unfortunately, missed. In the end, Bosnia imposed after a defensive but aggressive game.

– RALF RANGNICK, before the match with Romania

Mircea Lucescu, circumspect before the Vienna duel: “Let's be careful!”

I think in a short time we got to be a homogeneous group, who wants to win this party, regardless of means.

I hope to bring a lot of competitive energy and an emotional balance that will allow us to play with them having great confidence in us and our potential. Have a very well -developed game stylethey also demonstrated this at the European Championship, where they won important matches, with Poland and the Netherlands.

They have maintained the same core of players and, of course, have a higher experience. We can compensate for a fantastic dedication and I am convinced that we will do that. We need to pay attention to the stake of the game and what we have to do on the field.
