LAOLA1-unique critic of Austria – Bosnia and Herzegovina

The ÖFB team can not be ranked No. 1 in League B, Group 3 of the League of Nations of UEFA.

With 0-0 in the home game against Bosnia and Herzegovina in front of 37,200 spectators, it is clear that you will finish the first of this competition in second place.

The reasons: many players woke up too late, some sadly disappointed. But there were also bright spots.

LAOLA1 badyzes the performances of all the ÖFB players and distributes the scores (1 = very good, 2 = good, 3 = satisfactory, 4 = sufficient, 5 = insufficient).

HEINZ LINDNER (Grbadhopper Zürich / 23 internationals), 90 minutes, rating: 2

The team's manager, Franco Foda, betrayed that day one day before the match by saying that Lindner would be in the goal. Can we consider this as a sign that the locust legionnaire is finally the current number one of Austria? Trend yes. In the match, Upper Austria did not really get into debt, quite the opposite. From time to time, he was lucky in the Bosnian chances when the ball pbaded right in front of his goal. However, at the time of intervening, he acted as for Visca's shot in the minute corner of minute 26, or particularly interesting at Duljevic's conclusion at minute 64.

---

STEFAN LAINER (RB Salzburg / 11/0), 90 minutes, note: 3

The Salzburg kicker played as a right back in the ÖFB-Viererkette and was more concerned about defensive work, as he was probably kind. For a long time, he focused mainly on Bosnian attack waves. At half-time, he did only one good gesture, that he crowned a good game. After the break, also brave, there was also the l & # 39; 39 one or the other good idea – unfortunately without customers. Overall solid, nothing more, nothing less.

ALEKSANDAR DRAGOVIC (Bayer Leverkusen / 69/1), 90 minutes, rating: 2

As funny as it may sound with a national player now 69 times more important: this game was for the Leverkusen Legionnaire an opportunity to collect points with the boss of the Foda team, because he had to stay in the competitive games. The injury of Sebastian Prödl made possible the return of the starting lineup. It was not an easy match for the central defenders of the ÖFB. In the backward movement, the whole team was not always compact and the Bosnian superstar Edin Dzeko was in a good mood. However, with one exception or another, such as Visca's suspension in the first half, Dragovic offered a concentrated and satisfying performance. With Hinteregger, he was again and again a last resort on the spot.

---

MARTIN HINTEREGGER (FC Augsburg / 36/3), 90 minutes, rating: 2

See Dragovic. It was an unpleasant task for the ÖFB-Abwehrzentrale. After all, Bosnia had acted with more courage than was likely accepted in the ÖFB camp. In addition, Dzeko is overflowing with enthusiasm. The variety of the Bosnian chances was less to blame for the central defense, but overall on the defensive aspect little compact. Hinteregger was for long periods the usual Ruhepol, caught in distress again and again the ball. A good performance that he could crown offensively shortly after the break with a head opportunity. Unfortunately, he stayed with the subjunctive.

---

DAVID ALABA (Bayern / 66/13), 90 minutes, Rating: 3

One or the other may still remember the long-term discussions, but this time: until his 66th international match, the star of Bayern played for the first time from the beginning as a rear left of the four ÖFB channels. A little casual: position that he knows very well about the club. That's what he showed from the beginning, in which he actively sought the way forward. The problem: the last pbadage did not really work. You can expect more from him. Defensive, he was already more attractive, Visca was always preparing problems. In the end, an average performance.

JULIAN BAUMGARTLINGER (Bayer Leverkusen / 65/1), 90 minutes, Yellow, Grade: 3

The return of the captain! After the injury-related absence in September and October, the joy within the ÖFB team was great to see the Leverkusen Legionnaire survive a tear in the inner ligament of the knee. At first, like the majority at the siege, he had his difficulties but proved his calm, his sovereignty and his great importance within the team. Especially in the second round, he held everything together with Peter Zulj at the center. In the 72nd minute, everyone had started shouting, but her head was a bit out of date. I went out in the last minutes again yellow for the critics for an undisclosed advantage.

---

PETER ZULJ (Sturm Graz / 8/0), 82. minute, Yellow, Rating: 3

Despite the storm, he is part of the ÖFB team. However, the start failed with a stop error directly to the opponent and some errors. A Ferserl also recognized Foda only by shaking his head. Then, I had clumsily against Duljevic the yellow card. But he has also been more successful, even though he has already performed better in the ÖFB team. Then there were more ball contacts and good pbades, especially in the second round. Made way in the 82nd minute for Marc Janko.

---

VALENTINO LAZARO (Hertha BSC / 18/0), 90 minutes, rating: 2

Once again, the leader of Hertha BSC showed how his football style and "shit-me-nothing" mentality characterize the ÖFB team. Offensively lively, dynamic, always dangerous and strong, defensive with an incredible spirit and commitment to combat. Was the much more active outdoor player than on Alessandro Schöpf and harmonized well with Stefan Lainer, but this time did not prove offensive. Good performance, but sometimes with too few balls.

---

---

ALESSANDRO SCHÖPF (Schalke / 22/4), until the 67th minute, note: 4

Not everyone expected the professional Schalke to appear in the starting lineup. On the left in the middle of the field, while Kainz was moving to the center – in retrospect, maybe a bad option. Schöpf could never really play his qualities on the outside, was hardly involved and left room for the advancement of David Alaba. Nevertheless, Foda held him back for a long time. The substitution took place only in the 67th minute, Michael Gregoritsch came to get him.

---

FLORIAN KAINZ (Werder Bremen / 13/0), up to 46 minute (s), rating (s): 5

The staff is probably the most surprising decision of team leader Franco Foda in the starting lineup – an unsuccessful attempt. The Bremen, which shows good performances in the German Bundesliga, was preferred to Michael Gregoritsch, but struggled to get out of it. Many bullet losses, often past the balloon, could not be emphasized and were overwhelmed by its central positioning. In such an important position, it was not viable. Foda reacts, bringing Xaver Schlager at half-time.

---

MARKO ARNAUTOVIC (West Ham / 76/20), 90 minutes, rating: 2

A playoff match, tailor-made for Arnautovic. At first not so present, he had the best chance after a quick withdrawal from Alaba. Bosnia is lucky that Sunjic was the last man not to see red after a foul on the West Ham Legionnaire – a mistake. The 29 years has grown more and more. In the 52nd minute, he made with a Seitfallzieher for the match scene. Again, Sunjic was involved, he took his hand during the rescue operation on the line to help. Then awarded another good luck and pushed his colleagues offensively. The match ball that he missed in the 91st minute while he was hitting the bar.

---

XAVER SCHLAGER (RB Salzburg / 7/0), 46 minutes, Rating: 2

The Salzburg kicker played for the disappointing Kainz in the match and showed up in the 48th minute with a conclusion – but failed – before. But the blond has tried at least. This scene was emblematic of the cool wind that brought the 21-year-old, especially in the first phase after his substitution in the match of the ÖFB. Schlager has been involved in various dangerous scenes. He is therefore prepared for the Seitfallzieher of Arnautovic. Especially the comparison with Kainz makes it a good idea to involve him. That Schlager has the best chance of becoming a regular on the national team is no secret. He is a little closer to that goal after this game.

---

MICHAEL GREGORITSCH (FC Augsburg / 9/1), 72. Minute, Grade: 3

Was actually planned in the starting lineup, but initially had to do with the replacement bench. Schöpf only entered the match in the 67th minute. This Arnautovic was dropped to the side, Gregory stormed. In the 74th minute, however, he disagreed with Lazaro, who should take the ball directly into the box. A head clearly missed the target.

---

MARC JANKO (Lugano FC / 67/28), from the 81st minute, score: too short
