Opinions on Eintracht against Bielefeld: “It was a used evening” | hessenschau.de

After the defeat against Bielefeld, Eintracht Frankfurt players and coaches are looking for the reasons for the weak start of the second half of the season. The voices of the game.

Eintracht Frankfurt also lost the second home game of 2022. Against Arminia Bielefeld there was one on Friday evening 0-2 defeat. Patrick Wimmer (5th minute) and Alessandro Schöpf (28th) scored the goals.

Markus Krösche: “I’m clearly annoyed because the defeat was simply unnecessary, because from the start we weren’t consistent in defending, we conceded goals that were too easy and didn’t take our chances. It’s been evident in the last three games, we clearly have to act more consistently, individually and as a team, we have to work on that.Of course I’m dissatisfied when we concede such easy goals at home and put Arminia, who can defend well, on the road to victory unnecessarily.We’re not satisfied with the start of the second half of the season, we shouldn’t have We could win against Dortmund and Augsburg, maybe we should win, and we didn’t perform well today. That’s why it’s not enough in terms of points and for our requirements.”

Sebastian Rode: “It was a used evening. We really wanted to win before the international break. The two easy goals at the beginning played into Bielefeld’s hands enormously, allowing us to get even more back and play with long balls. We had to work extremely hard, to create chances for us, but didn’t take them.Every 50/50-ball fell at Bielefeld’s feet.The 92nd minute was significant when not even Rafa Borré’s ball went in. We have to get back to the basics We’re working hard to ensure that we’re more compact at the back. We started the second half of the season bitterly. The number of points is very poor, but the games also showed a lot of good things. We had good scenes today and created chances for ourselves. I’d be a lot more worried , if we didn’t create chances.”

Oliver Glasner (at DAZN): “It’s a very disappointing defeat. We tried everything, had many situations for the goal. We then missed the chances, our self-confidence went down a bit and that of Bielefeld went up. In the best case we would have drawn 0-0 today, so we lost a point. Maybe we talked a little too much about converting chances lately and that was on our minds today. But I can’t blame the lads.”

Makoto Hasebe: “We had an incredible number of chances but didn’t score a goal. On the other hand, we conceded two very easy goals. It was 2-0 early on, so it’s difficult against Bielefeld. But we have to stay positive now and keep pushing work. We now have a lot of time to analyze the three games and do better in Stuttgart.”

Timothy Chandler: “We didn’t have goals. We actually played quite well. It’s a shame today, we put in so much effort. But when we conceded, we defended poorly. We gave them away. We didn’t take advantage of our own chances. We just don’t score enough – you can’t win a game that way.”

Djibril Sow (at DAZN): “Bielefeld was very efficient. They played a lot of long balls to their big striker, got a lot of second balls, they did that well. They train the whole season, we only prepare for the game. We didn’t defend consistently and struggled to get the ball in front of goal. We put in a lot of balls but the presence in front of goal wasn’t good. We need to be more focused. You win, you lose. Now the pressure is on. But we’re a young team and we’ll keep working. Bielefeld was also lucky in the game today.”

Patrick Wimmer (Bielefeld): In training, you try a Rabona trick for fun. In the situation, however, I had no other choice. Luckily it worked, if it doesn’t work I’ll probably be accused of arrogance. We wanted to be compact and take our chances up front. That went well.
