“The Schweeeeeden are a very tough chunk,” ORF reporter Hans Huber already knew in 1997. The clip is still a hit on YouTube. And the statement also applies tomorrow, when the Vikings show up again in the Happel-Oval. Although without Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but still with “real guys”. First and foremost Victor Lindelöf, with Manchester United since 2017.
In his home country, the 28-year-old is also valued for his civil courage. When Lindelöf observed a thief robbing a 90-year-old’s bag from a bicycle in 2020, he caught the perpetrator after a long chase until the police came. A year later, the central defender needed the executive himself – his house in England was looted … Ralf Rangnick also appreciates Lindelöf, relied on the Swede during his six months at Old Trafford. Where Austria’s team boss for another tomorrow’s opponent, namely for Anthony Elanga, even became a career turbo in Manchester: “This guy is really good. He has nimble feet,” the German was quoted as saying by the BBC. Rangnick promptly helped the 19-year-old striker make his debut in his first game as United manager. Elanga is now considered a hot share (market value 25 million). And Emil Forsberg brought Rangnick to Red Bull in 2015 as head of sports – the Swedish veteran is still in Leipzig.
