“Full focus on Freiburg”

Oliver Glasner reveals how his players are switching their attention from the Europa League to the Bundesliga and shares his thoughts on Eintracht’s opponents.

Oliver Glasner on...

...personnel: “Everyone's still fit. Chris Lenz trained with the team but won't be in the squad on Sunday. Today's a bit of recuperation and then from tomorrow the focus will be fully on Freiburg. We'll be ready.”

…preparations for Freiburg: “We’re making the best possible use of the little time we have to prepare. We’ve already started with our recuperation process after the [Barcelona] game. That involved the players who played [on Thursday]. We were on the pitch with the other players. I'll put out a team that I'm confident will win. It's not about doing favours for anyone. The same goes for Sunday - Tuta will start.”

We basically want to win every game, so we want to get 18 points.

…Freiburg: “Freiburg's season isn't a surprise to me. They have a lot of continuity in the squad and most of all in the dugout. It's going to be a very difficult game, as we saw in the first half of the season. They'll demand everything of us. Freiburg have a clear plan of action and change formation from time to time. Christian Streich likes to mirror the opposition’s system in order to get to grips with them.”

…the season finale: “I see it as a maturing process that we're succeeding in this transition. It's normal in football that not everything runs perfectly. But you need the willingness to not look for excuses, regardless of the opponents. In that respect I think we're doing well. We basically want to win every game, so we want to get 18 points. That’s how we’ve approached every game since the beginning of the season. We don’t always succeed, but our focus now is on Freiburg.”
