Soccer: Coach Glasner meets Ex-Club Wolfsburg

Football

Oliver Glasner would have hoped for his return to Wolfsburg in a different mood. It was not to be expected that the coach with Eintracht Frankfurt would still be without a win before the fifth round of the German Bundesliga. “Not everything is going smoothly yet. And yet a lot is going well, but not perfectly, ”said Glasner before the guest appearance at the club that he led into the Champions League.

“It was two very intense, but also successful years.” Nevertheless, the Upper Austrian moved to Frankfurt in the summer – and only plays in the Europa League with his new club. In particular, the relationship between Glasner and Wolfsburg’s sports director Jörg Schmadtke was considered professional, but humanly hypothermic.

“I will say hello to him and wish him all the best,” said Schmadtke before seeing him again on Sunday. Because what they owe to coach Glasner, they know exactly at VfL. With a maximum of twelve points and only one goal conceded so far, Wolfsburg was at the top of the table before the fifth matchday under coach Mark van Bommel.

A matter of opinion: half full or half empty

Eintracht, on the other hand, came 15th in the weekend – and also missed the targeted opening win in the Europa League. The 1-1 draw against Fenerbahce Istanbul was the fourth straight draw for Eintracht. “Now we have four games without a win or four games without a win. The glass is always half full or half empty. I prefer to drink from the half full one, so you don’t have to worry that everything will be gone soon, ”said Glasner. An offensive fireworks, like in phases under predecessor Adi Hütter, the Frankfurters have not burned down so far.

In order to take something countable against well-rehearsed Wolfsburg, his team would have to “come close to an almost perfect performance,” said Glasner. Martin Hinteregger’s commitment is questionable. “The shoulder is affected, he is in pain, but it is quite possible that he will be ready for Sunday,” reported Glasner.

“Two bands are through”

“Martin is someone who then bites his teeth. The leg has to be crooked to prevent it from playing, ”said the coach. Hinteregger himself reported a diagnosis for his injured shoulder via Instagram on Friday evening. “Two ligaments are through and I have a shoulder lesion,” wrote the central defender and added: “Let’s put it this way: It’ll be back anyway.”
