Former World Champion on Vice World Champion: With two co-productions by Götze and Kolo Muani, Frankfurt is in the semi-finals of the cup. The players are excited.
Captain Sebastian Rode was in a good mood in the interview area and raved about Randal Kolo Muani and Mario Götze. The top duo has also impressed the teammates at Eintracht Frankfurt.
“You could see from the assists what ease comes with such a hack trick. Today must be the yardstick for the next few weeks,” said Rode on Tuesday evening after the 2-0 win over 1. FC Union Berlin, which beat the Hessian European League winner made it into the DFB Cup semifinals.
The French vice world champion contributed two goals, the German ex-world champion shone both times as an assist. While Kolo Muani has been in top form for months, Götze has had problems lately. “Mario was very important today, he was in very dangerous areas. I’m pleased that our offensive scored again today,” said coach Oliver Glasner.
Kolo Muani (24) also spoke highly of the interaction with the winning goal scorer in the 2014 World Cup final. “It’s really fun with Mario, he’s a remarkable player who has a lot of skills technically. You can only benefit from that as a teammate,” said the striker on ZDF. Götze (30) plays “very intuitively”. For Kolo Muani, who is the top scorer in the Bundesliga, it was the cup goals four and five.
