Since the 0-2 defeat in Berlin a good two weeks ago, everyone involved has been aware that Union, currently third in the Bundesliga, is a strong opponent on the Main. At that time, Eintracht showed a superior performance for at least one half, ultimately struggling with the exploitation of opportunities. “There will be a lot of long balls again. We will also try to get what worked very well on the pitch onto the pitch. With a little more efficiency,” says Glasner.
“After such a game in which you were overwhelmingly superior, it’s good that we’re playing in the DFB Cup again on Tuesday. Then of course we want to make it into the semi-finals,” said Eintracht sports director after the Bundesliga duel against VfL Bochum on Friday evening. Frankfurt played with great commitment, dominated the game for 90 minutes and created a multitude of opportunities. The Hessians want to step up their game against Union and seize the great opportunity to get a little closer to their goal this cup season. “On Tuesday we have to show the same vigour,” emphasizes Sebastian Rode. The captain is convinced: “We also played a strong first half in Berlin, so we have to play again. I’m not concerned that it’s currently not running. We have the quality we need to get back into the flow.” To do that, you just have to “score the goals again,” agrees Philipp Max.
