“Not!” Adi Hütter rarely takes a position before matches when asked about individual player bets.
But before the match against FC Bayern Munich, the Eintracht manager clearly replied that SPORT1-Asking if Amin Younes is a starting eleven candidate. Despite good first impressions, the 27-year-old had to wait 45 minutes for the German record champion and only reached half-time when he was already 0-2.
Hütter praises Younes after being replaced in
“Of course it was not an easy situation,” Hütter said. SPORT1 after bankruptcy 0: 5 in Munich. But Younes could not determine the three goals conceded in the second half. The Confederation Cup winner tried hard, took risks, and did well.
“You can see that he is getting better and better. He still lacks practice in the game, but it will help us in the long run,” Hütter said of his new signing.
Younes brings with him a certain carefreeness, constantly looking for one-on-one duels and dares to play in depth. 26 contacts with the ball, a 75 percent pass rate and 45 percent winnings are decent stats overall, despite a major loss.
“Younes brings another element to our game with his small movements and his game intelligence,” the coach analyzes. The 27-year-old is “very ambitious”, he is on the “right track.”
Key player Kamada was taken off the field
Hütter even took his key player Daichi Kamada off the field, but this was not due to the performance of the Japanese. “I wanted to see Younes,” Hütter said. He had other considerations: “I could have scored a point and played with two dozen. But we were 2-0 down and we wanted to score the next goal.”

Younes was able to offer himself before the eye-level matches, against then shorter opponents Werder Bremen and VfB Stuttgart.
The offensive off-roader is targeting the starting eleven and the massive storm around Bas Dost and André Silva, lacking the pace for counter duels like in Munich, literally calls for this “other element” that Hütter is so valued. So the 50-year-old won’t be able to spend much time beyond the little 1.68-meter dribbler.
Despite a strong defeat, it can be said: Younes was one of the winners at Eintracht at the Allianz Arena.
