Eintracht Frankfurt fans are admired internationally – and feared. During the fairytale Europa League trip last season, they flooded the stadiums away from home and created a phenomenal atmosphere. However, the choice of means, especially UEFA, keeps getting angry. Because the association has its problems with pyrotechnics and smoke pots. Before the Super Cup, President Peter Fischer receives an urgent warning. This, in turn, is not well received by the appendix – and a dispute ensues!
Peter Fischer is a polarizing guy! A guy with really big emotions. They overwhelm the iconic Eintracht boss before the Super Cup of his Frankfurters against Real Madrid in Helsinki (9 p.m. on RTL and in sport.de-Live ticker). At Fanfest in the Finnish capital, he takes on a supporter of his SBU! In order to understand the story, however, we have to start a little further.
Peter Fischer met with the powerful UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin on Tuesday. And the Slovenian had reported to the Hessian what a great affection he has for the eagles from the Main metropolis.
“Yesterday I sat at the table of the UEFA President, who said very clearly: I have great sympathy for you, you have taken a great path. But if shit happens to you, then that means a ghost game in Frankfurt afterwards,” said Fischer Fanfest about the meeting with Ceferin.
Fischer threatens fan: “I’ll let you throw out of here now”
And Fischer made it clear once again how important full ranks are to him in the forthcoming premier class season. Eintracht wants to celebrate magical nights there again. On the lawn and in the stands. “I want to experience the Champions League together with you. I want to show our opponents what we can do and what we stand for. I can never sell a ghost game again, never again,” said the club boss, who was briefly close to tears.
The 66-year-old harshly rebuked a fan from the audience who repeatedly called in Fischer’s speech from the front row: “I’ll let you throw me out of here now, I’m not in the mood for such idiot shit anymore, you just never come to the stadium again , what do you want here?”
Background to the UEFA warning: In the past, Eintracht fans had repeatedly attracted attention with prohibited pyrotechnics and smoke pots that were also not permitted. Among other things, in the Bundesliga opener against FC Bayern (1: 6).
