After the derby win and the European Cup triumph in Haifa, Union Berlin wanted to bring the English week to an all-round successful conclusion in Frankfurt. But things turned out differently – and the Köpenickers also knew why they lost.
“We wanted to make the good week pay with points in Frankfurt,” said Grischa Prömel to DAZN after the 1:2 in the Main metropolis and noted with disappointment: “That we concede the goal in the last second is saubitter.” Prömel did not question that Eintracht deserved to win. “Eintracht did well “, the midfielder praised the Hessians, finding himself in line with his coach.
If you are not precise in the transition game, then it won’t be dangerous.
“They were more aggressive, better runners, we were always one step too late and had no composure when playing with the ball, were very imprecise,” Urs Fischer looked back on the weak first half: “It was a deserved victory for Frankfurt.” The Swiss noted that SGE “had enough opportunities to decide the game earlier. Only they didn’t do that – and then you have to take this point.”
The 55-year-old addressed two aspects in particular: a lack of accuracy and sloppy defensive work before the 1:2. “We didn’t defend the second goal so well “, Fischer said, and took issue with his eleven’s passing game: “If you’re not precise in the transition game, then it won’t be dangerous.”
Fischer, however, did not want to let the tightly timed schedule with the Bundesliga, the European Cup and the Bundesliga and the resulting exertions be an excuse. “It was the same for both teams, Frankfurt also played on Thursday,” said the Swiss and added: “They were simply better than us in all aspects today. “
