It’s a special sign when players like Sow, Trapp or Kamada don’t follow the temptation of big money and stay with Eintracht Frankfurt.
Frankfurt – It was only a few days ago that it seemed like it was Eintracht Frankfurt become a self-service store. Everything must Go: Filip Kostic away, Djibril Sow swarms, Evan Ndicka anyway, Kevin Trapp on the ferry to Manchester, “bem vindo” Daichi Kamada bei Benfica Lissabon. Everywhere they waved bundles of banknotes, messages appeared or were placed (partly by consultants) in which execution was reported. All just a matter of price.
Eintracht Frankfurt: keeping up in the cut-throat competition
The curse of the good deed seemed to have caught Eintracht Frankfurt on the wrong foot at the wrong time. The big eat the small, you know that. It has long since become a business model to let your best people go for a lot of money in order to be able to keep up reasonably in the eternal cut-throat competition. This is one of the reasons why contracts are often designed for the long term, knowing full well that they will never be adhered to, someone will buy the professional out. And Eintracht Frankfurt has about in the person of sports director Markus Krösche never made a secret of being quite unromantic on this point: That’s how business works, especially since the aisles that the pandemic has made in the tills have assumed enormous proportions.
Eintracht Frankfurt: Points with sporting arguments
On the other hand, it’s a special sign when players like Sow, Trapp or now Kamada not follow the temptation of big money and stay at Eintracht Frankfurt, of course not for free: Your stay should be sweetened in the future with a contract extension and/or salary increase, at least at Trapp and Kamada. This shows that Eintracht Frankfurt has increased in importance, of course the Champions League is tempting, so the Hessians were able to score with it, i.e. with sporting arguments. The Hessians have now reached a position where they can respond to the friendly takeover of their best players. That reflects the good work of the club. They are not helplessly exposed to the greed of the big ones. But that is the big exception.
From a purely sporting point of view, the whereabouts of the trio is always a win. In any case, Eintracht Frankfurt has had enough to nibble at having lost Dampfmacher Kostic to Juventus Turin. The Frankfurters have ambitious goals in the league and league, which requires quality on the pitch, not money on the high edge. (Thomas Kilchenstein=
