“We’re travelling with a good feeling”

Oliver Glasner on “solid” opponents Freiburg, personnel news and seeking advice from former Eintracht player Martin Hinteregger.

Oliver Glasner on...

…Eintracht’s mindset: “It was nice to start the new year with a 3-0 win. We’ve analysed our performance [against Schalke] thoroughly and highlighted both the positives and negatives. We’ve touched on a few things in the short time we’ve had to train. We’re travelling to Freibug with a good feeling.”

…personnel: “We’ve seen once again how quickly things can happen in football. Joy and pain go hand in hand. On the one hand we have Éric Junior Dina Ebimbe, who’s going to be out for a long time. On the other there’s Aurélio Buta, who scored a goal in his first game for us after a difficult year. Luca Pellegrini has still picked up a calf knock and also won’t be available. But Tuta has been in training since Friday, he’s fully fit and in contention to start. "

…opponents SC Freiburg: “We’re facing a very good team. I don’t expect Freiburg to be rattled by their 6-0 defeat against Wolfsburg. They’re very solid, have a lot of quality and a very experienced coach in Christian Streich, who will continue to do things his way.”

The games against Freiburg and Bayern aren’t decisive at all.

Coach Oliver Glasner

…training: “We need to improve at being compact and in sync with one another on the pitch. As I said last week, however, we still need to find our rhythm after the long break and fully rediscover our ability to read one another.”

…the table: “The games against Freiburg and Bayern aren’t decisive at all. It’s January and the first half of the season isn’t even over yet. We have 30 points, which is a very good haul and one we want to build on. I’m pleased we’ve had a hunter in our team, which is why I’ve spoken to Martin Hinteregger on the phone. He’s given me a few good tips (grins).”
