Frankfurt / Mainz (dpa) - From the point of view of Eintracht Frankfurt's sports director Fredi Bobic, the importance of the winter break is "hung too high".

The ex-national striker said this in an interview on the website of the Hessian Bundesliga club on Tuesday.

"Other athletes, whether in handball or ice hockey or (...) the English Premier League, also play through," said Bobic.

“We'll blow a little over the holidays.

If you've had enough summer vacation in a normal season, that's okay.

We should also look at other professions. "

After the DFB Cup games this week, league operations will start again on January 2nd.

The season started later due to the corona, and the European Football Championship is due next summer.

The professionals therefore only have a few days off this winter.

Bobic says he is satisfied with the interim results of his club.

“Of course we had ups and downs, of course we are annoyed by one or the other point that we left behind.

And of course we could be a few places better in the table, ”said the 49-year-old with a view to the ninth place in the table of Eintracht with 17 points from 13 games.

“But this season cannot be measured by normal standards.

But I say with full conviction: the coaching team and the team are doing a good job. "
