Eintracht’s game 1 after Filip Kostic (29). The wing star is history, is about to move to Juventus Turin for a fee of 17 million euros plus bonuses.
At the Supercup against Real Madrid (0:2) it was already clear that the Serb with his offensive power was missing everywhere. Substitute Christopher Lenz (27) did a good job, but by no means has the quality of Kostic.
After his departure, real star Toni Kroos (32) is worried about unity and gives the Frankfurters the tip to make another transfer in this position!
Our world champion after the game on RTL: “I think Kostic’s departure is very serious. For me, that was Frankfurt’s best player last season. I don’t know if they’ll be able to add more, that wouldn’t be bad. Then they have a team that can always be uncomfortable, you saw that against big teams too.”
How good that Eintracht is already working on that. Ideally, a Kostic replacement should be there by the time Hertha plays on Saturday. The hot candidate is currently the Norwegian Ola Solbakken (23) from FK Bodø/Glimt ( BILD reported).
Coach Oliver Glasner (47) is also preparing for reinforcements for the left side: “I assume that we will get external access. Because Chris Lenz can’t play 22 games over 90 minutes either, and otherwise we don’t have a left foot for this position. Something will happen here soon.”
Maybe until the weekend…
