Director of French Eagle: The fundamental virtue of football is tackling. How can you win if you don’t fight?

Hupu News on October 23 After the 1-5 defeat to Liverpool, Frankfurt sporting director Klose severely criticized the team.

"In the final analysis, the key is that we must show a completely different aggressiveness in confrontations. The fundamental virtue of football is tackling.

We must accept confrontations and must work hard to win confrontations. And, we do it with completely different determination. Of course, Liverpool is a good team, but we also make the game too easy. We concede the ball too easily. This is our biggest shortcoming at the moment,"

In fact, Frankfurt collapsed and had no defense!

"It's about personal responsibility. Taking responsibility, winning challenges, competing actively. It's about everyone, no matter who starts or comes off the bench; that has to be the foundation. We lack that consistency right now. That's why we concede so many goals so easily. We have to stop this," said Klose, who cannot understand this behavior at all.

Next up for Frankfurt is St. Pauli

"Ultimately, it's not about the opponent. We've shown we're capable of playing football. But in general, defending starts with one-on-ones and aggression. That's what I ultimately expect from Saturday's game.

Ultimately, the game against St. Pauli will also be about tackles and aggression. Those have to be Our core values must also be our focus in the coming weeks. We also have to make some improvements in these areas from time to time. It doesn't work in any game - and certainly against St. Pauli."
