Dino Toppmöller will also be going into the new season with very high expectations from Markus Krösche. Although his boss has not set an unambiguous goal to be achieved, he has recently clearly called for an improvement in the team’s performance.
The squad is now good enough for that, the sporting director noted in a roundabout way. There is obviously an important agreement with his coach on this point. Toppmöller also believes that Eintracht Frankfurt is well prepared to start the new season in terms of personnel.
“We have gained quality,” Toppmöller emphasised to the BildHe continued: “I read it recently: there aren’t really ten regular places anymore if you take the goalkeeper out of the equation. It’s more like 15. That’s the case with us too, without mentioning the number 15. We simply have a lot of good options.”
“Maybe we’ll play with two clear strikers, or maybe we’ll play with one clear striker and Can and Omar around him,” he said, describing possible attacking configurations. Thanks to the different profiles, SGE can now rely on “really many options.”
There are two important aspects to consider: Firstly, there will naturally be an expectation that Toppmöller will get the best quality and flexibility out of this team and get the season off to the best possible start. Secondly, he will have to moderate a great deal of competition, which could drive top performances but could also lead to discontent and frustration. This balancing act is something that needs to be mastered, especially from a coaching perspective.
