Koch blunder against Freiburg: how Frankfurt boss Toppmöller responded | OneFootball

It's a difficult time for Robin Koch. As the defensive leader of Frankfurt, he already bears a lot of responsibility for the currently worst defense in the Bundesliga.

Over the weekend, a terrible misplaced pass against Freiburg led to an early 0-1 deficit. SGE coach Dino Toppmöller had honest words for his captain afterward.

"An individual mistake. Robin knows that himself," the coach assured 'Bild'. This was followed by a candid analysis from the football teacher: "He didn't play that ball well. Even the decision to play it there at all was not good."

A cross-field pass from Koch through the Frankfurt half was intercepted by Freiburg's Johan Manzambi, who immediately set up a goal for the Sport-Club.

Even before the international break, Koch had a costly missed clearance against Bayern, an unusual accumulation of mistakes for him. In the banking city, they will hope these are the last for now.
