Frankfurt / Main (dpa / lhe) – On Friday morning, Adi Hütter picked up the phone and congratulated sports director Fredi Bobic on his 49th birthday. In the home game against Werder Bremen this Saturday (3.30 p.m. / Sky), the Eintracht Frankfurt coach and his team want to give the appropriate gift in the form of three points. “We want to show a reaction to the 0: 5 in Munich and definitely win the game,” emphasized Hütter.
After the massive bankruptcy of the record champions, the Austrian promises a significant increase in performance for the duel with the Bremen team with the same points. «The game is over. We will see a completely different picture, ”said the 50-year-old.
Despite the setback at Bayern, Hütter wants to stay true to himself and hardly change his starting XI. The only thing that is certain is that captain David Abraham will play again from the beginning after his failure due to knee pain. The 34-year-old Argentine, who is likely to return to his home country during the winter break, replaces the injured Brazilian Tuta at right-back.
Hütter attaches great importance to the game against Werder, as the Hessians can establish themselves in the extended top group with a win. A game with a trend-setting character. “It’s difficult to say at the moment where we are in the league. Basically I have a good feeling, ”said Hütter.
His players are also looking up rather than down in the table. Striker André Silva recently spoke openly of the premier class. “I think we have the level to qualify for the Champions League,” said the Portuguese international in an interview with Sport1. “I dream of achieving this great goal with unity.”
Such research tones are entirely in the spirit of Hütter, who always strives for success. His team should also prove that against Werder. However, caution is advised: Bremen have been undefeated for four games and have not lost twice in Frankfurt recently. Nevertheless, Hütter is certain: “You can beat Werder at home.”
Bobic would also be happy to win, with whom Hütter says he has a professional and friendly relationship. “We don’t always agree, but we exchange constructive ideas,” said Hütter, praising the work of the sports director: “With meticulousness and skill, he brought Eintracht to a higher level and proved that it is important for this club. »
However, Bobic, Hütter and the professionals have to do without the support of the fans on Saturday. Because of the enormously increased number of corona cases, the game has to take place in front of empty stands. At the start of the season against Arminia Bielefeld 6500 spectators, against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim on the third match day even 8000 spectators were admitted by the Frankfurt Health Department.
Hütter regrets the return to ghost games like in the final phase of the preseason, but at the same time sees it as a privilege “that we can continue to do our job”. Hütter’s wish: “I hope the spook is over sometime.”
