"You have all the freedoms" - Glasner relies on variable offensive trio - cup round

"A fantastic cupfight, which tore the viewers from the seats and to the gate to 5: 3 for the Eintracht tension, spectacle and drama," wrote the cup round two years ago to the last duel in the first cup round. Spielnote 1. Valmir Sulejmani shot a 2-0 lead for the outsider in the initial phase, most of the 24.302 spectators in the sold-out Mannheim witch chamber were completely out of the cottage. A hat trick of the few weeks later to the AC Milan replenished Ante Rebic in the final quarter of an hour it was thanks that the Hessen escaped a blam.

This time, at least 12,151 spectators in the stadium, 1250 tickets were allowed to went to Frankfurt - that should be so privately rich time after that for fan lakes, to ensure folk festival. Whether the game is as exciting as two years ago, is primarily on the Bundesliga club. "We are warned and know that we need to tackle the game with 100 percent seriousness. It is up to us to deliver a highly concentrated performance and to drive home as a winner," emphasizes Glasner.

Lenz or Zuber for Kostic

He has to do without violence Almamy Toure (tendon injury), striker Ragnar Ache (thigh problems), midfielder Ajdin Hrustic (Covid-19) and left outside Filip Kostic (Rotsperre), with the latter alone counts to the master personnel. For Kostic it is expected to be new to Christopher Lenz, where Steven too is an option, Glasner speaks of two "good alternatives".

What complicates the compilation of the first eleven something is the different fitness status of the individual professionals. The Swiss EM participants Zuber and Djibril as well as the Rafael Borré represented by Colombia at the Copa America represented only almost two weeks in training. "It's quite clear: a player who has been in training for ten days, is not on the level as someone who has been there for five weeks. We discuss this spaghard almost daily with our athletic department and our medical department," reports The Austrian - and is therefore glad to continue to make five changes per game. It is well possible that as part of the double sect and Borré as a storm tip will be in the starting eleven, but do not play through.

60 points, 5th place: Glasner does not have to "turn everything over"

When looking at the tactical basic order, there will probably be no surprise, basically everything indicates the most recently in the test matches Favorized 3-4-3. "It is quite conceivable that we play in 3-4-3", confirms Glasner and explains: "The team feels very well. If you stand last season with 60 points in rank 5, does not have to come the Oliver Glasner and Everything turned around. The team has done a lot really well. We want to maintain, further promote and decorate with our own ideas. That's the art. "

The triple defense chain is expected to consist of Tuta, Martin Hinteregger and Evan Ndicka, centrally on the double sect, Glasner has to choose from the Trio Makoto Hasbe, Sebastian Rode and two players to select Stefan Ilsanker, if necessary outsider opportunities. On the right wing Danny Da Costa could have expired the ranked in the past season Erik Dorm, but that's not sure. Voltage promises the occupation of the offensive half positions. Daichi Kamada, Amin Younes, Jesper Lindström and Aymen Barkok compete for the two places behind the only storm tip. It would be a little surprising when Glasner would sit here in well-tried: Kamada and Younes. The latter showed itself from all the intervals around his person in training unimpressed and stabbed in the units during the week. The registered Glasnner, who praises: "Amin has a very, very good training week behind him. We talked to each other at the beginning of the week, are very tight, clear and clearly with each other. He has shown that he has been fully motivated, has many Goals shot and was very committed. If he presents himself as this week, he has quite opportunities to play long. " The coach puts great value that his trio operates in the offensive maximum variable. "They have all the freedoms," reaffirms the 46-year-old and demands: "It is important that they attack the rooms behind the opposing chain and show them in the penalty area presence."

Standing, who is sitting behind the caterer Kevin Trapp on the bench: the choice between Diant Ramaj (19) and Jens Grahl (32) fell - little surprisingly - on the junior national goalkeeper: "Diant Ramaj is sitting on bench, Jens Grahl supports the two and the two is always there if we need him. This is a great constellation for Diant, which was very clearly communicated in advance with them. "
