Euro 2020: Centred around David Alaba, Austria aim to improve dismal record in tournament

Firstpost  

The team is still centred around David Alaba, though the Bayern Munich defender doesn’t always carry his club form to the national team, where he is mainly used as an attacking midfielder. The country’s record at the continental tournament certainly could do with some polishing when they play North Macedonia, the Netherlands and Ukraine in Group C at Euro 2020. Austria finished runner-up to Poland in Euro 2020 qualifying in a group that also included upcoming opponent North Macedonia. It’s hard to judge where Austria stands ahead of Euro 2020 following the team’s shaky start to its World Cup qualifying campaign in March, which included a draw against Scotland and a 4-0 home loss against Denmark.
