Voices on Eintracht’s success: Between “aggressive mood” and “deserved victory”

Eintracht Frankfurt made club history with a win against Olympique Marseille on Tuesday evening. It was the first success in the Champions League for the SBU! While there was a lot of praise from Oliver Glasner, the game was also overshadowed by riots. The voices of the game.

The 1-0 victory in Marseille was an important sense of achievement for Eintracht. Recently, the good mood seemed to crumble. Not only on the pitch and in the team, but also on the executive floor.

It is all the more important that the Bundesliga club can start the journey home with a positive feeling. But the game was overshadowed by fan riots. Even before the game, there were unsightly scenes in the city center. In the stadium itself, some SGE supporters were also extremely negative. Among other things, they drew attention to themselves with firecrackers, rockets and racist signs.

Frankfurt emphasizes “aggressive mood” – victory in Marseille all the more important

“A fan is in the hospital, but is stable and out of danger. It was the feared state of emergency, possibly even beyond that,” said board member Philipp Reschke (via hessenschau).

He couldn’t really be happy about the three points because the extent of the mutual aggressiveness was “very strange”. “There were definitely a lot of perpetrators on both sides, but a lot more on the hosts’ side,” he emphasised. The club will probably have to deal with the consequences for a long time, he suspected.

Of course, Oliver Glasner primarily commented on the game. He paid his team a “big compliment”: “The game was very competitive. But we were very disciplined over long stretches. We didn’t allow much, but unfortunately we didn’t close the sack. I think over 90 minutes it’s a deserved one today Victory.”

Since he is primarily responsible for the sport, he can be happy about the victory, but the coach also emphasized that the atmosphere was “very aggressive”. He made out a general brutalization: “But that’s not a problem for football – it’s for society. These people use this stage to draw attention to themselves. But we have to give these chaotic people as little stage as possible.”

Markus Krösche also emphasized an “extraordinary, aggressive crowd”, but fortunately the team would not have been influenced by it. “[Der Sieg] was extremely important because we were under pressure in the group. But it was also important for us to survive in this stadium,” he explained.

Makoto Hasebe also saw a deserved win. The defensive veteran spoke of a sportingly very satisfactory evening: “I am very happy that we were able to win the Champions League with Eintracht for the first time. Personally, I was also happy that the coach brought me and I got a decent one performed.”

Meanwhile, Kevin Trapp emphasized the “wonderful” feeling of this sense of achievement. Of course, the goalkeeper was particularly pleased that the team had “hardly allowed anything”. “We were also able to score the second or third goal up front. We invested a lot today – and did so right up to the end. I think we deserved to win,” he summed up.

The keeper continues: “We know that we have the mentality in the team. We have a great squad that can invest a lot. If we get that on the pitch, we’ll see what we’re capable of. But we have to every game.”
