Albert Riera disappointed with Eintracht Frankfurt’s defeat and performance | OneFootball

Albert Riera expressed disappointment after Eintracht Frankfurt slipped to a narrow home defeat by Hamburger SV, accepting the display fell short.

Jonathan Burkardt returned to the starting line-up, yet Frankfurt were beaten at Deutsche Bank Park. According to BuLi News, successive home defeats have intensified pressure on the young coach, who vehemently denied off-the-pitch issues in a press conference.

Riera felt the side lacked energy before the break and that, even after taking the lead, they should have kept attacking. He added that chances came and went without enough efficiency and insisted standards must improve. He said he needs the supporters, accepted their reaction and called for togetherness, adding the group will fight for the remaining six points.

Midfielder Can Uzun understood why fans were unhappy, saying the performance was not good enough. He felt the players must do more and are not reaching their level, which is why results are not coming. Uzun scored the first goal of the match.

Freiburg can move three points clear of Riera’s side if they beat Wolfsburg tomorrow. Frankfurt finish the campaign against Borussia Dortmund and VfB Stuttgart.
