After a clean performance, Bielefeld took three points from Frankfurt. The celebrated man after the match was Patrick Wimmer.
Bielefeld’s match plan in Frankfurt worked completely, that can be said clearly after the 2:0. “We wanted to be compact at the back and take our chances up front, and that worked out very well today. We have a good phase and are in a very good mood,” said Patrick Wimmer after the game on DAZN. The 20-year-old Austrian had put the boys from the Alm in front after only five minutes.
And the attacker also played a decisive role in the second goal – it was the action of the evening. Wimmer’s Rabona cross behind his standing leg served Alessandro Schöpf, who finished with his chest to make it 2-0. “In training you try that more for fun. In that situation I had no confidence in my right foot. That’s why I had to either take it like that or with my right outside foot. Luckily it turned out to be an assist,” described Wimmer, who is clear: “If it doesn’t turn out like that, I’ll probably be accused of arrogance or something. Luckily it went well. “
That the Austrian definitely has such things in his repertoire was confirmed by his keeper. “What you’ve seen from him all season is that sometimes he really excites you and sometimes he drives you up the wall. I think that’s that youthful insanity. He has something crazy, something carefree, which is incredibly good for us,” said Stefan Ortega Morena, who gave his colleague the following advice: “If he stays with himself and works on the basics, which are important for the team, then he can become even more important for us than he is now anyway. “
Elf points from five games for Bielefeld
Friday’s treble in Hesse confirmed the good form of Bielefeld, who have now picked up three wins and two draws, ergo eleven points, in their past five games. “We want to continue like we did today, stay compact and score goals up front. Then hopefully it will continue like it did tonight,” said Wimmer. And coach Frank Kramer added with regard to the break that the Bundesliga is now taking: “We’re not going on holiday now, we’ll be back in a fortnight. We are happy today and enjoy the weekend. After that, we will continue to work and prepare consistently for the next games.”
The next match is against Borussia Mönchengladbach on 5 February, followed by games at TSG Hoffenheim and against Union Berlin.
