Marked for Michael Meyer

Squad4 Feb 2041

A knee injury of the worst kind for Michael Meyer

18 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Eintracht Frankfurt lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad4 Feb 2041

15 seasons of Can Uzun

574 appearances across 15 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Eintracht Frankfurt know what they have.

Match2 Feb 2041

Whatever happens, Eintracht Frankfurt do not lose

10 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad4 Feb 2041

Mateusz Buksa keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Eintracht Frankfurt may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Player ratings4 Feb 2041

Can Uzun, 35, rolls back the years — 8.09

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.09 at 35, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Market4 Feb 2041

Only the photograph left for Mateusz Buksa

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Mateusz Buksa will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Eintracht Frankfurt the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad4 Feb 2041

Matteo Davide Villa in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Eintracht Frankfurt this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market4 Feb 2041

As if he never left: Helmut Huber returns

Some transfers need a press campaign. This one needed a shirt with the old number on it. Helmut Huber is a Eintracht Frankfurt player again, and the town has its story of the summer.

Match2 Feb 2041

Yll Gashi the difference as Eintracht Frankfurt beat Borussia Mönchengladbach

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Yll Gashi. 2‑0 against Borussia Mönchengladbach, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad28 Jan 2041

Matteo Davide Villa keeps Eintracht Frankfurt in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 12 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad28 Jan 2041

A knee injury of the worst kind for Michael Meyer

25 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Eintracht Frankfurt lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market28 Jan 2041

Zyan Blake puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Eintracht Frankfurt, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match26 Jan 2041

Still nobody has beaten Eintracht Frankfurt

The unbeaten run reaches 9. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Squad28 Jan 2041

Tempers go at Eintracht Frankfurt

Matteo Davide Villa was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market28 Jan 2041

Business is business: Noël Aséko goes

Bayern Munich paid $2.0M and Eintracht Frankfurt took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Market28 Jan 2041

The Matteo Davide Villa conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: St. Pauli will make the call about Matteo Davide Villa this week. Eintracht Frankfurt have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

Market28 Jan 2041

Lasse Kjaer is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Eintracht Frankfurt is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad28 Jan 2041

Yll Gashi is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.26 with 16 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Squad21 Jan 2041

A one-man rearguard from Matteo Davide Villa

There were 11 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Match16 Jan 2041

Cup progress for Eintracht Frankfurt

A 2‑1 win over VfB Stuttgart, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Squad21 Jan 2041

A knee injury of the worst kind for Michael Meyer

32 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Eintracht Frankfurt lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match19 Jan 2041

Eintracht Frankfurt make it 8 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Eintracht Frankfurt have 8 straight wins of it.

Match19 Jan 2041

Eintracht Frankfurt refuse to lose, and Yll Gashi leads them

The 2-goal deficit was real and so was the recovery. Yll Gashi was at the centre of it, Mainz 05 were at the end of it, and everybody who left early will hear about this one for years.

Match16 Jan 2041

Cruel end for VfB Stuttgart as Eintracht Frankfurt pounce

There is no crueller way to lose a football match. Eintracht Frankfurt scored in the 111th minute, the restart barely happened, and the away end was still standing when the whistle went.

Squad21 Jan 2041

A day Yll Gashi will not forget

3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Player ratings21 Jan 2041

Age has not caught Yll Gashi yet — 9.71

At 33 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 9.71 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad21 Jan 2041

David Maier says Eintracht Frankfurt went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.
