Austria midfielders Julian Baumgartlinger and Zlatko Junuzovic spoke on Sunday (12th June) ahead of their Euro 2016 Group F opener against Hungary.

SOUNDBITE: (German) Julian Baumgartlinger, Austria midfielder:

"I think that the overall level is very high. The beginnings of the matches are close and very intense. It is less due to nervousness. I think everybody, every team wants to look the best. We feel the same way. So it is very important to start with a good game in this tournament."

SOUNDBITE: (German) Julian Baumgartlinger, Austria midfielder (on incidents in Marseille):

"I think it's very sad that despite the security in Europe, there are threats. It's a shame to see supporters turn it into a battlefield instead of a peaceful atmosphere."

SOUNDBITE: (German) Zlatko Junuzovic, Austria midfielder:

"I won't give away any secrets as to how we will play this match. We are prepared for certain situations, for defensive and offensive situations. This match will be open. Hungary won't be afraid to play against us. We will have to be careful. They have very good individual players who can make the difference. As we do. I look forward to this match. I'm very impatient."

SOUNDBITE: (German) Zlatko Junuzovic, Austria midfielder:

"We have been together for a few weeks. The season was hard (with Werder Bremen). and when it finished, it was hard to relax and to review everything. It was not be easy, to be honest. But I feel in good shape, physically and mentally. I'm looking forward to playing. Now it's a totally different situation compared to what I knew during the season."
