U21 defies the backdrop

The Eintracht team, which was almost completely reorganized this season, was able to show some promising approaches. Schmitt indicates that the way the game, despite the lost points, produced many positive aspects.

teaching from defeat

The possibility of acting in the 64th minute after the dismissal for the Stuttgart player de Sousa Oelsner was not used optimally. Instead, Eintracht collected the second goal shortly afterwards by Marcel Schmidts after David Kammerbauer had already scored the first goal for the Kickers. Schmitt commented on this with the words: "We still have to learn a lot", which emphasizes the challenges of men's football.

The new captain and his challenges

The challenges did not become easier when Mario Vrancic, the new captain, was put off the pitch in the 89th minute with yellow-red. This led the team to fight for catching up in the decisive final phase. Eintracht had reached the connection through Kaan Inanoglu in the 70th minute, but was further weakened by Vrancics exclusion in injury time. He will also be missing at the next home game against Mainz 05, which the team will continue to present challenges.

outlook for the coming season

Despite the difficult conditions, coach Schmitt is confident. "We have made progress with the team and we will learn from this defeat," he emphasizes. The upcoming game on Friday will be an opportunity for the players and the entire Eintracht community to take the first victory of the season and to learn from the experiences they have made. The influence of defeat on the morale of the team and the support of the loyal fans will be crucial to make the necessary adjustments for the upcoming challenge.

It remains to be seen whether Eintracht learns from its mistakes and presents itself better in the next games. The U21 would like to maintain the fighting spirit and the implementation of the lessons learned in training in order to be successful this season.
