The anticipation of the meeting had been held on both sides in limits. While the Munich itself mocked the fact that them of Schedule Designers after the cup match in Wolfsburg less than one day approved more relaxing break, the Hessians were last especially busy licking wounds after the debacle in Aue. For coach Armin Veh to say goodbye to (international) wishful thinking and the beginning of a protracted struggle was with the guest appearance of the record champions am Main dawned against relegation. If its people so accept it as on Friday, which is expected to succeed.
Once again changed
Once again, also an indication that the Eintracht is neither consolidated nor her coach has a choice line-up found he built his starting grid order in several positions: time allowed Aleksandar Ignjovski , Bastian Oczipka and David Abraham again from the beginning with Ran. Her brief was: “Safety first”! Veh gave his team a tactical 4-3-2-1-basic order on the way in which required up to nine fielders had to worry about securing the defensive; even Left Wing shark Seferovic spent most of the early days in his own defense. He was busy, together with Ocizipka, either “double up” the onrushing Arjen Robben or Kingsley Coman to. Own accents could (and did) do not put the Eintracht.

What the people of Munich for all their dominance this time missing was the usually cool precision and effectiveness in the financial statements that distinguishes them usually. So also lacked Robert Lewandowski twice a few centimeters (65th, 81st), once he was close to the final whistle when a goal for offside.
coach Pep Guardiola, who had hoped during the English weeks to be able to prevail in Frankfurt in Sleep mode, offered even Thiago (67th, for Coman) and David Alaba (76th, for Lahm) on – the final offensive passed unedifying despite everything from the perspective of the favorites.
