Coach Oliver Glasner is not deterred by Eintracht Frankfurt’s current phase of weakness in the Bundesliga. “I’ve experienced everything in football,” said Glasner after the 4-0 defeat at new leaders Borussia Dortmund, the eighth league game in a row without a win: “I’ve been in football for 30 years. You experience everything in all directions. As a player, you stand I did a semi-series with 30 points in a European Cup place and ended up being relegated.”

Nevertheless, Glasner’s words do not sound like an improvement soon. “We’re whistle on the defensive from the last hole,” he said: “To use the words of Markus (sports director Markus Krösche, ed.): It’s a shitty phase at the moment. But it’s up to us to change that . We are still fighting for the international places.”
