Bembel, i´m quite surprised how well Armin Veh is doing with Eintracht Frankfurt. I had some doubts about his quality, but so far he has done a great job. Hope you don´t have a sellout like Gladbach at the end of the season.
Guess its not just you beeing suprised. I still think I am dreaming.....
Veh definitely has his qualities, otherwise he wouldnt have been able to win the league with Stuttgart, but I was not sure myself if he would fit Frankfurt.
He often comes across as a bit arrogant or grumpy, but I think he just has a concept which he follows.
This is on one hand a great thing, simply because he seems to love playing attacking football and even managed to build a team that is capable of doing it with the limited resources we have.
On the other hand he clearly stated that he has come to Frankfurt to slowly build something up and that he is not here to see the core of "his" team be sold at the end of the season.
And thats something which worries me as some of our young players like Rode, Trapp and Jung might become targets for bigger clubs.
Giving them a perspective on beeing able to play european football is something which might be able to keep them at Frankfurt. Even though I personally think that european football would be a bit too early for us.
The core part of our team is pretty decent, however we still lack a classy striker, some more depth in defense and in general more depth.
Guess everybody could see versus Mainz and Düsseldorf what happens if players from our core team are injured or need to sit out due to yellows/red...
Once we have collected 40 points I am more than happy and whatever comes after that is just a bonus. Be it playing in Europe or ending up somewhere midfield...
