With a 1-0 victory over Azerbaijan away from home, Austria secured a significant victory and improved their prospects of qualifying for Euro 2024. Max Wober, on loan from Leeds United, played the entire match for Austria.
Wober, 25, is only one of a select group of Leeds players who have performed well while out on loan. Wober has started eight out of eight games for Gladbach, joining Robin Koch and Brenden Aaronson in the Bundesliga.
He has also begun to make more frequent appearances in the starting XI for Austria thanks to his performance with the German team. When we fans questioned his decision to relocate to Gladbach, this was the justification he gave.
Things are going well for Wober, and Ralf Rangnick gave him the chance to shine on Monday night at center defense rather than left back. Given that he has a left foot, he has frequently played on the left for his nation.
But Wober and Leeds supporters will be aware that he is a center-back. He began in the midfield against Azerbaijan after playing on the left against Belgium in a 3-2 loss the previous week. a blank sheet. Austrian media offered their opinions.
The £10 million Leeds acquisition was complimented for his cool performance on Monday by Salzburger Nachrichten under the subtitle, “average”: “Better placed in the center of defense than on the left side. utilized his powerful header.”
Wober is demonstrating his claim. It was thought to be an odd decision. Many of the players who used the relegation loan option have returned to the Premier League, including Luis Sinisterra at Everton and Jack Harrison at Everton.
You have joined a football team competing in Europe. It seems sense that they could have wished to go. Koch at Frankfurt, Aaronson at Union Berlin, Marc Roca at Betis, Llorente and Kristensen at Roma.
Europe as a whole. However, as things are, Wober is playing frequently in one of Europe’s top five divisions with a sizable enough team to persuade Rangnick to start him at center-back. He was good.
