In the round of 16 of the European Championship, central defender Demiral scored twice, Gregoric’s goal was not enough to save the day, Baumgartner’s last-minute equalizer was saved, and Austria eventually lost 1-2 to Turkey. After the game, Austria captain Marko Arnautovic gave an interview to the media.
Arnautovic said: “You can imagine what it feels like. If you lose a game and are dominated by the other team, that’s acceptable, you respect the opponent, shake hands and go home. But this time, this time it really hurts because I think we shouldn’t have been eliminated today.”
“Of course, we are proud of the performance we showed, but we shouldn’t have been eliminated, that’s why it hurts, I don’t want to go home.”
“I’m not worried about this team, I think this team can go far, very far. We are currently in a period of adaptation with the coach. He really brought us together and we showed that. For us, it’s all over, we go home, back to our families and recharge. When everything is forgotten, we start again. Now, it really hurts.”
