"I could have saved myself this statement," the 47-year-old apologized. “I was suggesting that when it comes to a problem, I have a drink and find the solution. That's complete nonsense. ”His football professionals had infuriated him because they had not implemented tactical guidelines and the“ system didn't give a shit ”(Glasner). "That was due to the defeat," said the coach and correctly stated: "It is important not to throw everything overboard, not to question everything, but to readjust the little cogs in the offensive area and in the protection."

The Eintracht deniers are now called upon to do better on the European stage after only one win after eight Bundesliga games and table rank 14, in order to end the burgeoning crisis talk.

“It will be important to keep a cool head.

Anger is not the right thing.

We need trust in our strength, ”said Glasner.

"Then I expect a game at eye level in which both sides have to go to the limit in order to win."

His players are willing to do better against the 46-time Greek champions and push him from the top of the group D table.

“Home games in the Europa League are always special,” said midfielder Djibril Sow, also in view of the 35,000 admitted spectators.

“Piraeus has six, we have four points.

That has expressiveness.

We are very motivated. "

For the "key game", Eintracht board spokesman Axel Hellmann announced the game and announced the goal of hibernating in the European Cup.

Also for financial reasons: around 4.5 million euros have been secured in income so far.

If the Hessians make it into the semi-finals and win the other four group games, the sum would initially double.

Hellmann is not worried that the Hessians embarrassed themselves against Hertha BSC: “If I learned something at Eintracht, it was that the last Bundesliga game wasn't an indicator for international games.

It's just our club culture. "

Eintracht, semi-finalist in the Europa League in 2019, experienced great moments on the European stage, but not for a long time either. Most recently, the 4-1 win at Red Bull Salzburg in early 2020 was impressive. In the first encounters of the current competition, it was enough with tremors to a draw against Fenerbahce Istanbul (1-1) and a 1-0 at FC Antwerp in stoppage time.

Nevertheless, the Greek ex-Frankfurt Ioannis Amanatidis is convinced that Eintracht has “what it takes” to qualify for the next round.

"The quality is always there," emphasized the 39-year-old former striker, who was at the Main from 2005 to 2011 and will be sitting in the Frankfurt stadium with his fingers crossed.

His tactical recommendation for his ex-club against Piraeus is to counterattack from a compact cover like the 2-1 in Munich: “That worked wonderfully against Bayern.” Dpa
