What more could you ask for, apart from a seat on top of the world?
Oliver Glasner thus summed up the year 2022 of Randal Kolo Muani, to whom everything succeeded, apart from this face-to-face missed in the final of the World Cup in front of "Dibu" Martinez.
"We wrote to him after the final to tell him that he must be very proud of his year," explained the Frankfurt coach to the Bundesliga website.
The German coach has listed the performances achieved by the native of Bondy.
“He won the Coupe de France with Nantes last summer and then he made his way into the starting XI of Eintracht.
He reached the knockout stages of the Champions League with us and became a World Cup finalist with France.
It's not really feasible to do much more in a calendar year.
This is why he can be proud of what he has accomplished.

This express integration did not surprise Glasner with regard to the qualities of the attacker.
“We recruited him because we saw great potential in him.
We saw instantly that he was very fast, detailed the Eintracht coach.
He listens and tries things on the pitch, plus he's a great boy.
He is no longer 17, he is 23 so he is at a good age for football.
