“stop me with this garbage”

After the tenth league game without a win, coach Oliver Glasner from Eintracht Frankfurt seems to have lost his nerve. The Austrian, who saw the red card at TSG Hoffenheim (1:3) on Saturday (45+1), quarreled with a critical journalist during the press conference after the game.

“Stop me with this rubbish. I know what the boys are doing. Stop me with the fact that the players don’t get it, that they don’t show any commitment or have no character,” roared the excited Glasner when asked about the missed opportunity , to catch up to the international places.

The experienced journalist reacted calmly: “I don’t know why they’re yelling at me like that. But I don’t care either. I asked a completely normal question.”

Glasner blamed the packed calendar for his team’s disappointing performance. However, the Austrian did not want to let the accusation of a lack of commitment from his team stand.

“Now I’ll tell you something. Makoto Hasebe is 39. He’s playing 90 minutes for the third time this week at the end of the season, when we have our 43rd competitive game. He has blood in his urine because he’s so broken. What Does he? He’s playing again. Lack of effort – stop me with this garbage! Sorry!” Glasner cursed.

It was already clear before the press conference how tense the situation at Eintracht was. Those responsible, such as the professionals of the cup finalists and Europa League winners, initially did not want to comment on the game in Sinsheim.
