Ralf Ragnick, message before the decisive match with Romania: “With all respect for Mircea Lucescu and for everyone, we came here to do our job

“Baumgartner has performed the final training in Vienna and leaves the premise that not having any problem, he will play tomorrow. I do not know if Raul Florucz will play tomorrow. I am glad to play for Austria, he could play for Romania. It is important to play in Belgium to grow up and reach the parameters.

Marko Arnautovic has some problems. Is the only one in this situation. We see tonight and tomorrow how his situation evolves, otherwise, the whole lot is apt. Work was not influenced by my ankle problem. Everything is ok.

In the match with Moldova he played the second team of Romania. During the game they entered the holders. I am convinced that those who have not played in the first half will represent the rye of the first 11 tomorrow. The coach is the same, the first team will be similar or identical to that of previous official matches. The style of play, the way of evolving will not change and we have prepared in this regard.

And we are injured players that we did not convene who could evolve tomorrow. The data of the problem does not change. We know that for Romania is the last chance. Only with a victory can I hope for the 2nd place and for us a success tomorrow would mean securing the place 1. Both teams know the decisive character of tomorrow.

We know why we came here. I said. We want to qualify for the first time after 28 years at a final world championship tournament. will be a difficult match in front of an almost full stadium. We saw in the first 30 minutes of the Vienna match how good the Romanian national is, but with all the respect for Mircea Lucescu and for everyone, we came here to do our job. The job is to win and qualify.

We have more valuable goalkeepers. I have established from the beginning of the canton that Schlager will defend tomorrow. I do not see the meaning of discussing the number 1, 2 or 3 in the gate. Depending on what happens, we will see. Tomorrow will defend Schlager.

It was also seen in Vienna that the Romanian team is good. Tanase and Man are two fast, techniques, who dribble well on the flanks. In front of Drăguș will be missing. We do not orient to play after a player, but to play according to the position of the ball and spaces. This does not mean that we do not know what the qualities of the Romanian team are.

We are interested in the direct qualification, not to tremble at the Lottery of the Play-off. Tomorrow's game is important to reach the World Cup ”, Ralf Ragnick said at the press conference before the match with Romania in Bucharest.
