Frankfurt’s Europa League hero Rafael Borré is currently not getting a chance and has thoughts of a change: Oliver Glasner would like to seek a conversation.
Football keeps providing indications of how fast-moving it can be. Rafael Borré was just a few weeks ago Frankfurt’s celebrated euro hero, now the attacker would obviously like to leave again. However, Oliver Glasner has little to do with the Colombian’s thoughts on a change and now wants to talk to his protégé.
Of course, Rafael Borré cannot be satisfied with a measly competitive goal across all competitions. The 27-year-old has lost his place in the center of the attack to newcomer Kolo Muani, who is in a much better mood, and was also unable to convince as a hanging striker. Accordingly, Borré currently has to be satisfied with joker bets.
However, this annoys the striker so much that he apparently wants to flee in the winter. The Spanish Newspaper AS reported in this regard that clubs from Italy and Spain have expressed interest. Sports director Markus Krösche made it clear that there were no plans to sell the player.
Glasner takes on Borré: “I’ll look for a longer conversation with him”
The situation is not easy for coach Oliver Glasner at the moment. After all, a dissatisfied Borré is not particularly conducive to the team atmosphere. “I’ll have a longer conversation with him. On the one hand, I understand that he’s not satisfied, but it shouldn’t be the team that suffers,” said the coach after the game 2-3 defeat to Spurswhere Borré was only allowed to play 20 minutes.
According to a press representative, the player “refused” the first few minutes after being substituted on and only started to run when there was hope again after Faride Alidou made it 3-2. Oliver Glasner did not want to deny this observation, but also showed his understanding side. “You also have to look at his situation. Four months ago he was an absolute regular player who always gave everything for the team. Now he finds himself on the bench. It’s a very difficult situation for him. For me it’s understandable that he has a bit of a problem dealing with it,” said Glasner.
However, it should be said that in football every player has to prove himself anew every season. If you fall behind as a player, it would be more expedient to get the most out of yourself in the little time you have played and in training. Such a situation cannot be changed with exaggeratedly hasty thoughts of farewell and defiance. Maybe Glasner will manage to get the striker back on his feet in a personal conversation. After all, according to the coach, this is “a person who submits to the success of the team because he is an outstanding guy”.
