‘Reinvented Gotze playing role in Frankfurt’
Mario Gotzewho famously scored a German goal to win in the 2014 World Cup, pulls the wires for Frankfurt, and the 32-year-old is experienced after making more than 300 appearances in the Bundesliga and played 119 games in the European competition.
DB: “Mario Gotze has developed a particularly well in the last month and becomes a growing player for them.
“He didn’t just reveal himself, he invented himself. If you look at young Mario Gotze, when he was in Borussia Dortmund, he was one of the best players in the world. He was fast, he could cap, he could shoot and had a great vision and intelligence.
“He then moved to Bayern Munich and his career was a little sliding because he didn’t really fit there. He didn’t have a big injury, but he had some health problems (metabolic disorder), so he was with radar.
“Then he moved to PSV Eindhoven and became a different Mario Gotze there, because he is not so explosive, he is no longer so fast.
“And now he is in Frankfurt, he is like an attacker. He plays a little more defensive than he has done in his top career, but still has an extraordinary vision and the ability to scan everything that happens in the field, so he helps and begins offensive action for it. He is not the one who is also built.”
Pl Target team ‘One of the Best Bundesliga players’
Frankfurt striker Hugo teamitics It’s supposedly interesting Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City, And he will want to prove against Spurs that he can reduce him against the opposition of the Premier League.
22-year-old Frenchman, who used to be a Newcastle Target, scored 19 goals and scored eight assists in all competitions this season, so he will follow Marmoush in crossing the English Top Flight this summer?
DB: “The team is great. He is one of the best players in the Bundesliga because he is really fast, he is tall and technically good with the ball, so he makes him a weapon. He is the one who has to restrain the spurs offensively to stop Frankfurt.
“Relationships to the Premier League clubs are definitely here. I don’t know exactly where it will go, but Frankfurt is pretty sure he will leave at the end of the season.
“I think the team has everything to play for the top Bundesliga club. But he is not a training ground for training, so it could be a problem for the Premier League Club. He is also not the most powerful guy, although he is athletic even though he was a little thin.
“But I think it could definitely play a big role in the Premier League at its abilities, speed and final treatment.”
Frankfurt has the fastest Bundesliga player in history
If Gotze’s vision and creitike quality does not harm the Spurs, then Frankfurt owns another weapon in Jean-Matteo Bahoywho is the fastest player in the history of the Bundesliga. Last month, the 19-year-old scored a speed of 23.09mph-look at his record pace below.
DB: “One of the most handsome players is currently Jean-Matteo Bahoy. He joined a year and a half ago than a French second level for € 8 million (£ 6.8 million), but he didn’t play so much at the time.
“This season, however, develops very quickly and scored his first two goals for Frankfurt. He also became the first Bundesliga player to go over 37 km/h (23mph).
“He is the right wing player and is the guy he watched. There is no tall buzz around him, but he could be the next really good guy from Frankfurt.
“One of the greatest Frankfurt forces is a counter -attack because they have these fast players.
“When they brought in Dino Toppmoller’s chief, they wanted to develop more approaches based on their possession and tried to apply them last season, but it failed.
“They have now returned like a high speed team and have been more and more dangerous since then.”
Can the former Chelsea striker persecute Spurs?
The Frankfurt player who played in the Premier League is Michy Batshuayi. Former Chelsea and Crystal palace Strker joined Frankfurt in a winter transfer window from Galatasaraya, and a 31-year-old Belgian internationary scored two goals in seven appearances at all competitions.
DB: “Batshuayi was a replacement of Marmoush as a player who could fit in immediately.
“They are kind of pleased with him because they did not think they would enter and score 15 goals in the second half of the season – he is a rotation player who is entering, not a core player for them.
“It gives them some physicality and some presence in the box. He adds another component to the offensive game because he is a little more powerful. He can keep the balls and keep it for a few seconds until the rest of the team reaches it.”
But there is also the potential for Frankfurt to score Tottenham Mathys telwhom they aimed in January before a teenager from Bayern in Munich joined the Spurs on loan.
DB: “Frankfurt wanted to bring Mathys Tel as a replacement for Marmoush. In an interview with Toppmoller last week he was very open to this and confirmed he loved him.
“Toppmoller also trained him when he was a Bayern assistant a few years ago. He wanted to bring him to Frankfurt, but they couldn’t do it.”
‘Spurs face one of the best atmospheres in Germany’
The Red-Vruci Park with a 58,000 capacity of Deutsche expects Tottenham for the second Thursday in Germany, so this will prove to be a cemetery for the Spurs season?
DB: “It’s one of the best and most respected atmosphere in Germany. If Tottenham is not good at handling such atmosphere, it will be an opportunity for Toppmoller’s side.
“Frankfurt is on the rise. If I can play at the highest level, they have an advantage, and I would say that Frankfurt will move at halftime.
“But they’re not as consistent as in the first half of the season, so it could be a factor in Frankfurt to see. But I would say they have an advantage.”
