Dino Toppmöller looks a little with nostalgia on the cancellation of Mathys Tel. « Unfortunately, this did not work in this case as we wanted, but of course, he must also make the decision for himself, » said Eintracht Frankfurt coach in the « Sky » interview. In search of more time, the talent of French storm of FC Bayern has opted for Tottenham in winter, where he has so far reached eight missions (one goal), in which he was on average for 61 minutes.

Topmöller already knows such a time in Munich when he took care of him in 2022/23 as an assistant coach of Julian Nagelsmann. « Mathys has always been a problem in several transfer periods because I know it and there is a link, » reveals the 44 -year -old player, who has resulted in the SGE since the summer of 2023.

The Francfurter was looking for a replacement for the top scorer Omar Marmoush (26), who was transferred to Manchester City, looking for a replacement of Manchester City. Instead of such, 10 million euros for Tottenham and whose replacement could reach more than 60 million euros in a firm obligation, Eintracht invested twice for 30 million euros with Elye Wahi (22, Marseille) and Michy Bathshuayi (31, Galatasaray).

More recently, such fell into the order of hacking in the storm of the Spurs, against Chelsea (0-1), it was not used until Thursday evening. « Let’s see how long it is there, » said Topmöller, who will see the striker in the quarter -final of the Europa League next Thursday (9 p.m.). This is « a great player, a good boy, a good person who will certainly go a path. »

Meanwhile, the farewells of Marmoush were not « easy » to compensate. « If you break a central constitutive element like Omar in the middle of the season, then you have to adapt – without real preparation in winter. Of course, it’s not easy! » Said Topmöller. « Just as the boys do for the moment, you can say that they have moved a little closer and have tried to do more on the collective. » It is a positive sign « when you see that so many players among us are at the center of other clubs. » The topmöller is less worried.

« Conversely, that we also work well on all fronts. It also makes us proud and is a privilege. Of course, as a coach, I would like these players to remain. But in the end, there are of course other factors, if we look at the Omar case. If such an offer comes.

What Topmöller says about the interest of Burkardt by Eintracht Frankfurt

With this, the SGE wants to complete, for example, the striker of Maypied Jonathan Burkardt (24). « Jonny is under contract with Mainz 05 and a few more years. Consequently, Mainz is due to the fact that I do not answer this question. I can understand that the interest is there, but he is a player from another club and so I don’t want to say anymore, » Topmöller commented on the detected rumor.

Topmöller has to do without further and probably a little longer on goalkeeper Kevin Trapp (34 years old), who will be represented again by Kauã Santos (21 years old) on Saturday in Werder Bremen (6.30 p.m.). « He finished a training session with the team and had problems stretching the (Site notre bureau spécialisé) while playing long -term bullets in the field. He had too much stress on his tibia and unfortunately had to stop training. Everyone knows that Kevin Trapp is an exceptional goalkeeper. If he’s 100%, he is a leading goalkeeper. But for the moment, this is not the case. »
