Ralf Rangnick (coach of Austria
beaten 2-0 by France in the League of Nations
):
“
It's not such a big surprise when you see the French team lined up today (Thursday).
I was asked if their absences were an advantage... When you see their reserve... Everyone in the French eleven would be a starter in our team.
But when you take the goal, it wasn't that unbalanced either.
The moment of the goal made us suffer.
There was quality in the opponent, and on our side, we could perhaps have defended more aggressively.
But it is also a question of individual quality.
If Mbappé had played with us tonight, the game might not have been the same.
But unfortunately we don't
we have no Kylian Mbappé.
