Eintracht Frankfurt treats himself to a creative break at Werder Bremen. If the Hessen also want to play internationally in the coming season, it should have been with the slips.
Eintracht Frankfurt’s season threatens to become a conjunctive season. If the Hesse in Bremen had only played half as well as against Stuttgart. If Omar Marmoush had only moved to Manchester in the summer. That with the Champions League qualification would definitely have worked if…. If Eintracht continues to go through the season as in the past few weeks, you may soon have to formulate this sentence in Frankfurt.
Eintracht before solvable tasks
The time of the grace period is over for Eintracht. The team of coach Dino Toppmöller is still on royal class course and is in the quarter-finals of the Europa League, but the Patzer quota has recently increased. “If we believe we could play a bit of football and look at what happens then – that doesn’t work,” complained sports director Markus Krösche after the 0: 2 bankruptcy on the Weser. If Eintracht does not get together as quickly as possible, the season goals are acute in the end.
The crunchtime is pending. In the Bundesliga and in the Europa League. In both competitions, Eintracht faces absolutely solvable tasks. Tottenham Hotspur is still a big name in European football, the Hessen have to fear before the guest appearance in the table 14. (!) The Premier League on Thursday (9 p.m., live at HR-Info and in the audio stream on hessenschau.de) but certainly not. The prerequisite for a successful England trip, named coach Toppmöller right after the defeat in Bremen: “We have to draw the right conclusions from this defeat for Thursday.”
The consistency is missing
The same can of course be applied to the upcoming Bundesliga games. The Hesse can no longer afford a similarly bloodless weekend. In the next two games, against Heidenheim and in Augsburg, victories are in principle mandatory if the Adler supporters want to defend Champions League rank three. The competition has recently left springs, the lead over Europa League rank five (two points) and Conference League-Platz six (four points) has been clearly melted together. The air in the fight for the European Cup places is getting thinner.
If Eintracht was still characterized by its consistency in the first half of the season, it is now too often in the way. Gala appearances like against Amsterdam (4: 1) or Stuttgart (1-0) stand mistakes like Against Union Berlin (1: 2) Or now Bremen opposite. “We did not act on the level that we expect from ourselves,” not only looking for Hugo Larsson to blame in our own ranks for the new setback in the Bundesliga. The good thing is: Eintracht can actually be much better. Now she has to prove that regularly.
