- The Eintracht Sports Committee holds assurance in the capability of the Sturmstar National Squad.
Frankfurt's team manager Markus Krösche thinks striker Hugo Ekitike has a solid shot at making France's national soccer team following his impressive display in the 3-1 victory over Hoffenheim. "If he keeps this up, he's definitely got a fantastic opportunity," Krösche commented after the second Bundesliga matchday.
Ekitike assisted in the home team's victory against Hoffenheim with a goal and an assist, and was one of Frankfurt's standout players alongside the impressive Omar Marmoush.
Toppmoeller: "That's how it needs to carry on"
Frankfurt's head coach Dino Toppmoeller praised the dynamic duo after the game against Hoffenheim. "Their pace is incredibly hard to contain," said the 43-year-old. "And yes, that's how it needs to continue," Toppmoeller said about the two skilled players.
Marmoush, like Ekitike, made an impact against Hoffenheim with a goal and an assist. The 25-year-old Egyptian national player's deal with the Hessians was officially finalized on Friday, right before the end of the transfer window.
Ekitike's exceptional performance against Hoffenheim further strengthens his case for a spot in France's national team. Under Toppmoeller's guidance, Frankfurt's national team players, including Ekitike and Marmoush, are showcasing their skills effectively.
