The U21s from Eintracht Frankfurt around coach Kristjan Glibo and assistant coach Alex Meier celebrated a successful Hessenliga home game premiere in the Dreieich sports park - and were able to enjoy prominent support.

Eintracht Frankfurt plays Hessenliga – and lures spectators to Dreieich: while some U-teams from Bundesliga clubs are happy when 200 men get lost in the regional league at home games, Eintracht can even enjoy a sensational response in a league below: Goods 1,500 spectators attended the 2-1 defeat in Alzenau, and almost 1,400 people came to the first home game.

And among them was again a lot of celebrities: Eintracht head coach Oliver Glasner had a good laugh after the 4-0 cup win in Magdeburg the day before and juggled the cold drinks for his companions just as confidently as he used to the ball. Sport director Markus Krösche was there too, exactly like board member Philip Holzer.

And they all saw an extremely stable performance from their SBU in tropical temperatures: Opponent Viktoria Griesheim was only really courageous for a short period after the break and had a really good chance of scoring a well-deserved consolation goal, for example through Pascal Bender's header.

But it didn't fall - and so Viktoria Griesheim had to take a heavy 0:5 (0:3) smack after the 2:1 win against Walldorf.

But Glibo had also fine-tuned the system: if his team pressed very early in Alzenau in a 4-3-3, Eintracht enticed the opponent a little more this time in a 4-2-3-1 and then played on their technical skills and speed of the tips.

Not mercilessly, because then the game would have ended even more clearly.

In particular, the inclusion of Ignacio Ferri, already a goalscorer in Alzenau, paid off.

He scored once himself and was involved in two other hits.

In this form, the Gilbo-Eleven is one of the top favorites for the title.

The picture in Dreieich has changed: A single red Dreieich logo could still be seen in the distance, otherwise the colors black and white dominate.

Eintracht has made the stadium chic - and adapted a bit to the Hessenliga.

For example, with the beer prices, which are well below the Waldstadion level.
