The pressure mounts and the goals get bigger after a historic season, his first in German football. Rafael Santos Borré is aware of the challenges ahead and trusts the group that Eintracht Frankfurt has created under the orders of Oliver Glasner to meet the goals, as it was in the previous campaign with the Europa League title, the second in the club’s history after having won the 1979/80 edition.
“We worked well, we formed a compact team and we were able to strengthen ourselves. We were able to strengthen the team spirit again and we are well prepared to achieve something great”, expressed the Colombian in an interview for the official channel of the German club, highlighting the pre-season work and the additions, among which the arrivals of Lucas Alario and Mario Götze stand out.
Magdeburg, a team from the German second division, will be the first challenge for Eintracht Frankfurt in the 2022/23 season (August 1) by the DFB Pokal and does not want a repeat of the previous campaign, which began with the surprise elimination against Waldhof Mannheim 07, so Borré added: “It’s important in Magdeburg to do better, to win the first competitive match right away, give us a good feeling for the Bundesliga. A win is simply essential.”
After that commitment for the local Cup, the Eagles will have two important challenges, since the start of the Bundesliga will be at home against the last champion, Bayern Munich, and days later they will play the UEFA Super Cup against Real Madrid in Helsinki, Finland.
Eintracht Frankfurt continues in the preseason, in which the last friendly will be against Astoria Walldorf this Wednesday, July 27 starting at 11:00 am (Colombian time), after wins over Viktoria Aschaffenburg and Torino and a goalless draw against LASK Linz.
