Goalkeeper Kevin Trapp recognizes an alarming mood at European Cup contender Eintracht Frankfurt in the final push for the international places. “Somehow there is a very, very negative cloud hanging over us. We were sometimes rightly criticized because the games were simply not nice and the results were not there,” said the 33-year-old goalkeeper on Friday evening on Dazn. The Hessians had previously lost important points in the fight for the Europa League in a 1-1 draw against Werder Bremen.
“It’s incredibly annoying because we actually played a good game. If you only get two points at home against Union and Bremen, there are reasons for that. Maybe it’s deserved in the end,” complained Trapp. With 42 points, Frankfurt is still in sixth place. The remaining games with games against VfB Stuttgart, FC Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen are demanding. “The remaining program is brutal. We still have everything in our own hands,” said Trapp.
Coach Dino Toppmöller also struggled with the draw. “It’s disappointing and frustrating when you don’t come out of a game like this with a win. “We have planned much more,” said the head coach. Almost a week ago, the Hessians missed a home win in a 0-0 draw against 1. FC Union Berlin. The impending failures of Ellyes Shkiri (injured) and Tuta (red card) are further worrying Toppmöller.
Amos Pieper from Bremen was injured again during his comeback
However, the Bremen team were quite happy with their first point win after four defeats in a row with the 1:1. “The way we played speaks for the character of the players and the team. These are not easy weeks. We have to compensate for a lot of personnel issues,” said coach Ole Werner.
And another problem arises on the next matchday in the game at Bayer Leverkusen. Amos Pieper, a professional who had just celebrated his comeback after a break of over six months, was injured. “He took a hit to his ankle and is in pain. He can still go. It’s not like he was on crutches,” said head coach Ole Werner late on Friday evening.

The 26-year-old defensive player, who had to be substituted in the 51st minute, experienced the wild second half, including two dismissals, from outside. Pieper broke his right ankle in October and was out for months. It initially remained unclear whether the injury on Friday evening was related to this. “I can’t say all that yet,” said Werner. (dpa)
