Toppmöller counters reporter: You explain the situation to me!

Eintracht Frankfurt stands after a 0-1 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur in front of the end in the Europa League. Coach Dino Toppmöller commented after a 0-0 draw against FC Augsburg in a press conference and made a connection between the two games. Toppmöller asked the reporters to look for an explanation when he was asked about a critical question from the press, and emphasized that the team invested a lot on Thursday. The lack of regeneration period of less than 72 hours was also a decisive factor for performance.

In the further course of the press conference, Toppmöller expressed his disappointment with the end of the end of the Europa League and described the end as unfortunate, but considered the draw against Augsburg to be positive under the given conditions. He pointed out that his team played weakly in the first half and blamed fatigue and concentration deficiencies. Toppmöller emphasized that Augsburg has only lost once in the past 14 Bundesliga games and dissected the challenges that Eintracht is currently facing.

results and challenges

The defeat against Tottenham concludes the participation of the German teams in European competitions for the rest of the season, and for the first time since the 2020/21 season there will be no team in the semi -finals. This is a disturbing sign for the Bundesliga that has not cut off as weakly since 2021. Mario Götze fails due to injury, which also makes the management planning of Eintracht more difficult. He will probably not be available for several weeks due to a thigh injury.

Despite the current setbacks, Eintracht Frankfurt still has the opportunity to secure a ticket for the Champions League through the Bundesliga. FC Augsburg is the next opponent on Sunday. With regard to the last games, the team will do everything possible to leave the past disappointments.
