Eintracht Frankfurt fans chanted abusive songs against FC Bayern’s honorary president Uli Hoeneß during the Bundesliga away game.
Unambiguous songs like “Hoeneß, du bist ein H****sohn” or “Hoeneß in den Bau” could be heard from the very well-filled and extremely loud guest curve in Munich’s Allianz Arena.
The background should be the most recent statements by the 71-year-old, who attested Eintracht Frankfurt a “spectator problem” in the “double pass” last Sunday.
The SGE has “an aggressive audience that is always good for riots. It cannot be that in the future they will pay more fines than they take. Normal enthusiasm is always good, but violence stops for me,” said Hoeneß with.
In this context, the Frankfurt supporters have “repeatedly attracted attention” in recent years.
Eintracht Frankfurt: Alex Hellmann criticizes criticism from Uli Hoeneß
Eintracht board spokesman Axel Hellmann had defended himself against the Hoeneß criticism. This was “greatly exaggerated,” he said on “Sky 90”. “We have had a very positive development in recent years.”
In its “very large, active fan scene”, Eintracht still has problems with “individuals”. Their misconduct finds “no support” in the club and environment, said Hellmann, who nevertheless spoke of a “challenge” in this context.
Eintracht Frankfurt in 1st place in the “Penalty Table”
The fact is that the SBU fans occupy the top spot in the “penalty table” of the Bundesliga.
The 2022/2023 Europa League winner had to fork out more than 300,000 euros due to misconduct by his supporters – mostly due to the burning of pyrotechnics, which of course is not synonymous with riots and violence.
It is also a fact that the current fifth in the table enjoys great support from his battle loafers. The fans of Eintracht Frankfurt also made the game at FC Bayern almost like a home game.
