Eintracht Frankfurt snapped a streak of six consecutive games without losing in all competitions after losing to Hoffenheim 3-2 by date 14 of the Bundesliga. Rafael Santos Borré scored, but Oliver Glasner’s team showed several failures in the defensive zone and in the recovery that cost him the defeat. One of the high points came from the bench: Goncalo Paciencia.
The Portuguese forward returned from loan to Schalke 04 at the beginning of the season to make a place for the eagles team, but injuries have kept him off the courts. However, in his last three games he has scored two goals and from Germany they believe that he could start over the Colombian attacker.
The newspaper Bild mentions that the 27-year-old footballer “upset Eintracht’s forward hierarchy after a four-game hiatus due to injury”. In the same way, he believes that he is a good partner for Filip Kostic, Well, in the two annotations of the Portuguese, the Serbian was the assistant with centers from the left. Although Borré may continue to be the first option in attack.
“Sure, Rafael Santos Borré will have more game because he works for the team at the front. But, according to Glasner, he still lacks ‘determination’. So far, the Colombian has scored three goals in 17 competitive matches. Patience only needed seven for his three goals, an average of 56 minutes per gol “, assures the medium.
Glasner’s approach throughout the season is, for the most part, with a single striker and two players a little further behind who act as midfielders to manage the offensive game and arrive from behind to surprise. Even so, Borré is not an area striker who stands out for his goals. He is a second striker who has a goal, but who can be more comfortable with another attacker who complies within the area.
Eintracht Frankfurt is located in box 12 of the Bundesliga with 18 units. They are five points from relegation and 16 from the leader, Bayern Munich. In his next game he will visit Fenerbahce for the last day of the Europa League in search of ensuring his place in the round of 16.
