Wolfsburg (AP) - Coach Oliver Glasner from VfL Wolfsburg praised his Austrian coaching colleague Adi Hütter before the duel between the two Champions League contenders at Eintracht Frankfurt.
«You can clearly see the handwriting of Adi Hütter, whom I know very well.
Adi is a great guy, "said Glasner on Thursday at the press conference on the game between fourth and third (Saturday, 3:30 p.m. / Sky).
«We have also run into each other a few times in private.
We have a mutual friend who owns a hotel.
We have not yet exchanged the lineups this week.
We're not that close. "
The third place in the table from Wolfsburg is four points ahead of Eintracht and even eleven points ahead of Borussia Dortmund and the Europa League rank before this game.
The chances of the third Champions League participation in VfL history are very good despite the difficult remaining program with games against Frankfurt, Dortmund, Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig.
Nonetheless, Glasner said on Thursday: “I don't believe in calculating now and saying: If we don't lose, we will be four points behind.
Not at all.
We're going to Frankfurt and want to win the game there.
I also want the players to broadcast that. "
The Champions League games this week hadn't triggered any special anticipation for the coming season, Glasner described.
"I saw Dortmund at Man City and just thought: Phew, how can we be eleven points ahead of them?" Said the 46-year-old.
"That shows that we are playing a great season."
