“This is not a concert at an opera”

Adi Hütters Eintracht Frankfurt lose a Bundesliga game for the first time on Friday night against Werder Bremen after five wins in a row and to some extent nerves too. The former YB coach in particular shows emotions.

Even after leaving the field, Werder coach Florian Kohfeldt and his colleague Adi Hütter continue to argue. Martin Hinteregger from Frankfurt and Niklas Füllkrug from Bremen even have a little fight on the way to the cabins. In a heated duel with bickering and arguing on and off the pitch, Eintracht Frankfurt’s proud run of successes has come to an end.

“These emotions are part of football. Words are sometimes used, but that’s the way it is. It is not a game of chess or a concert at the opera, ”Hütter said. After eleven Bundesliga games without a defeat, the Champions League candidate lost 2-1 at Werder Bremen on Friday night for the first time this year.

The three goals in this game provide a topic of conversation and warm the atmosphere in the stadium even without spectators. André Silva’s early 1-0 Frankfurt 1-0 should not have fallen in the 9th minute as there was an unwarranted corner kick for the Hessians ahead of the Portuguese’s 19th goal of the season. Both Theodor Gebre Selassie’s 1: 1 (47th) and Joshua Sargent’s 2: 1 (62nd) then called the video assistant on the scene.

Hütter: “Your neck will burst at some point”

On the first hit, he corrected a wrong offside decision by the referee team. To be sure, he checked the winning goal again. In addition, two more goals from Bremen were not given offside. Eintracht had to claim the setback after a strong start. Bremen, on the other hand, gave a resounding response to 0: 4 in Hoffenheim.

“If you try to stay calm on the sidelines for 75 minutes, at some point you will explode. It is always special here. I was infected by it. He was upset about certain things, ”Hütter said later at the press conference, alluding to the fact that Werder substitutes and supervisors were constantly calling from the stands.

Werder coach Kohfeldt: “You can lose decently”

Eintracht captain Makoto Hasebe also says: “He is always so combative and emotional against Bremen. In the end it was too much. Too much talk in the square and outside the square in the stands. In the 90th minute, coach Hütter even saw the first yellow card of his Bundesliga career. “I am not proud of that. It’s my first and I hope it’s my last in a long time, ”said the former YB coach.

Florian Kohfeldt firmly rejected the charge of unsportsmanlike conduct and provocation. “A club like Eintracht Frankfurt: it’s so impressive. But we all have to be able to play a football match and then shake hands, ”said the Bremen coach. There are only one or two statements. But you also have to be able to lose decently. “Because there would have been insults from the Frankfurter Bank.” Everyone has to wonder what choice of words they found today. “

Hütter makes it clear how much the defeat in Adler’s field hurts: “Nobody believed that we would lose more in the game. But the fact that it happens here and now after the victory against Bayern hurts me in particular, “admits the 51-year-old and appeals to his team:” If you think you can walk through the Bundesliga, it will be difficult. I hope we show a reaction to defeat. “
