Eintracht Frankfurt has suffered a bitter bankruptcy at VfL Bochum. It should now be uncomfortable for coach Glasner.
Frankfurt – It was a very bitter evening for Eintracht Frankfurt in the Ruhr area. At VfL Bochum there was a deserved 2-0 defeat, because the SGE was without ideas and inferior to the hosts in terms of fighting. “We didn’t accept the fight today as we had planned and the coach warned us on Thursday. Then you see Bundesliga football from Bochum against harmless harmony. I hope that everyone has now noticed what is going on in the Bundesliga and how you have to play football here, ”said SGE captain Sebastian Rode after the game on the DAZN streaming service.
Eintracht Frankfurt had to accept the next disappointment after the convincing success in the Europa League against Olimpiakos Piraeus. It was similar after the victory at Bayern Munich, when the home game against Hertha BSC went completely wrong. The SGE shows no constancy and always has games in which the performance is not suitable for the Bundesliga.
Last season Eintracht Frankfurt played for the qualification for the Champions League until the end and was only intercepted by Borussia Dortmund in the last meters. Only Andre Silva is missing from this team, who moved to Bundesliga competitor RB Leipzig. Otherwise it is the same team that had a terrific season under coach Adi Hütter. But important supporters like Martin Hinteregger, Evan Ndicka and Daichi Kamada, with the exception of the game against Piraeus, are currently miles away from their form last season.
Eintracht Frankfurt: Several newcomers no reinforcements
It is the job of coach Oliver Glasner to prepare his team during the week for the respective game so that they can show the best possible performance. But that just happens too seldom. However, the coach is not the sole culprit, because the newcomers brought Markus Krösche, the new sports director of Eintracht Frankfurt and successor to Fredi Bobic. But players like Sam Lammers, Jens Petter Hauge and Jesper Lindström have not yet been able to prove that they are a reinforcement and can constantly act at Bundesliga level.
Eintracht Frankfurt currently ranks 15th in the table in the Bundesliga. The team of coach Oliver Glasner could only record one victory, in the home stadium the SGE is without a threesome. Nine goals scored are the fourth worst value. Only the two promoted VfL Bochum and Greuther Fürth and the relegation candidates Arminia Bielefeld and FC Augsburg scored fewer hits. The situation is coming to a head and Eintracht Frankfurt needs points to get out of the table cellar.
Eintracht Frankfurt: is Oliver Glasner still the right coach?
Is Oliver Glasner the right person for this path? So far, the coach has not yet seen a game idea, but one has to say that only nine game days are over. Eintracht Frankfurt will almost certainly not part with the coach yet, but the air is getting thinner for the Austrian. The next opponents until the international break are RB Leipzig and Greuther Fürth, in between it goes to Piraeus in the Europa League. Should the SGE stand still at eight points, i.e. lose the games against Leipzig and in Fürth, Glasner’s days as coach of Eintracht Frankfurt could be numbered.
Meanwhile, a former member of the “buffalo herd” from Eintracht Frankfurt is facing a spectacular transfer to the Italian Serie A. A former offensive player of the SGE meets against Eintracht Frankfurt and refrains from cheering. He didn’t have a chance at the SGE.
