Glasner makes hunger for success a trademark of Eintracht Frankfurt
Whe would have thought? After almost half of the 60th season in the Bundesliga, Eintracht only has to do that FC Bayern give way. And everyone who is behind her in the table, like Dortmund, Leipzig or Gladbach, will keep their fingers crossed for Frankfurt at the game in Munich next Saturday so that Glasner’s people can achieve something productive and thus prevent the course of this Sports year will probably again be preferred by the Bavarian industry leader.
The hunger for success that Glasner aroused in his fellow campaigners has become the hallmark of the men from the Main. Next got the FC Schalke to feel the assertiveness of the Hessians, who initially tried in vain and finally, due to readjustments, were able to achieve success that improved their yield to 30 points – a club record since the introduction of the three-point rule 28 years ago.
Since the beginning of the round, which went terribly wrong with a 1:6 against the series champion from the Isar, they have demonstrated that these Hessians can do a lot. A clear insight can be immediately derived from the team’s learning curve: This is where coaches and team found each other and grew together into a group whose determination stems from the conviction that they can achieve more as a community than individual class suggests. Nobody lost their nerve against Schalke either, when that happened despite the opening goal not really convincing.
Glasner’s intuition and skill
The defensive coordination difficulties will have to be discussed, as well as the lack of pass sharpness and a hesitant duel against an opponent who did their utmost to lure Eintracht out of reserve. The fact that Schalke only tried is also due to the fact that Glasner made use of the opportunity to change the game by making substitutions and substitutions more and earlier than in his early days.
It is glazier It is thanks to intuition and skill that he puts players, who for various reasons were not first choice, in such a mood and in shape that he can throw them into cold water without hesitation.
The fact that all that glitters was not gold against Schalke was part of Frankfurt’s self-awareness, which is known to be the first step towards improvement. Opportunities to show they can do it handsomely are now plentiful. The final settlement will be in May. And with the victory on Saturday, they have created another prerequisite for the balance sheet to be impressive.
