Ralph Rangnick
Austrian national voter Ralf Rangnick called on FIFA to employ video technology (VAR) for the benefit of all teams participating in the 2026 World Cup, and not for the benefit of specific teams.
In his most recent press conference, coach Ralf Rangnick expressed his annoyance and confirmed that his Austrian team was exposed to refereeing errors, due to the good use of video technology for the benefit of other teams such as Argentina and Germany.
As reported by Globo newspaper, the Austria coach explained: “When we played against Argentina, we saw that VAR was not used in the same way in other matches. There was a foul on Schlager (an Austrian player) that was not given. And Germany’s 1-0 goal (against Ecuador) was not clear. VAR must be applied with any team, not just with Germany and Argentina. There are situations in which decisions must be made.” Against the dominant team.”
Regarding the confrontation with Algeria, coach Ralph Rangnick said: “The match will be decisive for both teams. We face a very strong competitor, and it will represent a physical challenge for us, and we will prepare our team optimally.” Pointing out that Austria is playing in one of the strongest groups in the World Cup, and its players must be careful in front of the “desert warriors.”
It remains to be noted that the match between Algeria and Austria, scheduled for Sunday morning (three in the morning), will be supervised by a crew from Uzbekistan, led by arena referee Ilgiz Tantashev.
