The first international final in 42 years is all well and good, but the professionals from Eintracht Frankfurt didn’t get a day off for it.
“I’ll stick to tonight and I’ll treat myself to a glass or two. But at 12.00 p.m. we’ll do an easy forest run, the boys have to sweat something out,” Glasner announced on Friday night with a grin after his team reached the Europa League final with a 1-0 win over West Ham United.
Glasner asserted that they had already celebrated after progressing at FC Barcelona. “I don’t know what the players are doing, they’re all grown guys,” said the Austrian.
The two remaining Bundesliga games against Borussia Mönchengladbach on May 8 (3:30 p.m.) and at FSV Mainz 05 on May 14 should now only be a gallop for the big final, which is on May 18 in Seville against Glasgow Rangers rises.
