Austria captain Christian Fuchs spoke on Tuesday (21st June) as his side prepared for their must-win group finale against Iceland.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Christian Fuchs, Austria captain (on midfielder David Alaba's struggles):

"It's obvious that because he plays for Bayern Munich and he won the Champions League all the focus is on him, but I don't think that's fair to him because he's simply part of the team here. As Austrians we see the team as our star and not any particularly player. If he performs well obviously it helps the team and I believe tomorrow he's going to play a great game as well as all the other guys."

SOUNDBITE: (German) Christian Fuchs, Austria captain (on having not scored yet in France and needing to win against Iceland):

"We've been here together a couple of times so it's time to score finally, to gain points and I am convinced we are going to succeed in that tomorrow."

SOUNDBITE: (German) Marcel Koller, Austria head coach (on midfielder David Alaba's struggles):

"Of course it's about experience. He has shown in so many games at the absolute highest level in the Champions League that he is capable of performing. That's the kind of level we're playing here at Euros but it is not always easy to maintain this level day in day out during every match."
