Another curiosity of the world football association: Austria is obliged to hold two international matches, but there is only a parking obligation for World Cup players. However, Stade Reims did not follow the mere “recommendation” of FIFA. “I can’t do anything if the club says no. We’ll start training again on November 28th,” goalkeeper Patrick Pentz has to accept. Most recently, the goalie was Austria’s “one”, but he’s not even there at the camp in Spain. Although he is only on the bench at Reims in France’s Ligue 1 – unsatisfactory for the 25-year-old. “I have to get my situation under control, play at the club again, that’s my daily bread. I’m the guy who crams in, shows them what I’m capable of,” Pentz told the “Krone” yesterday. “If I play again in winter, I’ll be an issue for the national team again. Quick out, quick back in.”
