Will Eintracht jump back to a European place?
After only one point from the last two games, a threesome is finally needed. In the Friday game against Bielefeld (8.30 p.m.) a really big one should help.
WITH MICHAEL JORDAN MOTIVATION IN 5TH PLACE!

Background: Twice attacker Jesper Lindstrøm (21) recently had victory on his feet; 3-0 lead against Dortmund (2-3), 2-0 in Augsburg (1-1). Coach Oliver Glasner (47) grabbed his striker and encouraged him. The coach chose basketball legend Michael “Air” Jordan (58) as a role model.
Glasner to BILD: “It’s important to me that Jesper keeps his head up. To quote Michael Jordan, ‘I’ve missed 9,000 shots in my career. I lost almost 300 games. I was entrusted with the all-important throw 26 times – and I missed it. I’ve failed over and over again in life – and that’s why I’ve been so successful.’ So don’t whine, don’t argue, just keep going and believe in yourself – it will be the same with Jesper.”
For the first win of the year Glasner relies on his attacking trio with Lindstrøm, Kamada and Borré. The Colombian (6 goals) is getting better and better.
But Glasner also has a tip for Borré: “The way he runs for the team is exemplary. But he still has room for improvement when it comes to straightness in front of goal. Sometimes he could pull through with even more determination and, as we say in Austria, sometimes shoot with a spitz.”
That means: It doesn’t always have to be full span, sometimes a kick with the pike is enough for a goal.
