Even rivals are amazed! SGE star is really flourishing | OneFootball

Eintracht Frankfurt’s 2-1 win in Wolfsburg last Saturday had many defining influences, but one stood out in particular: Oscar Højlund. With his opening goal, the Dane not only laid the foundation for the away victory, but also impressively underlined his growing status within the Hessian side.

You can watch his stunning goal here again. 

It even left the opposition impressed. “Oscar doesn’t score many like that,” Wolfsburg sporting director Pirmin Schwegler told the Frankfurter Rundschau. Schwegler, who knows Højlund from their time together in Frankfurt, is well aware of the midfielder’s potential – but the young Dane has rarely looked as composed as he does right now.

The sharp rise in Højlund’s form is closely linked to Albert Riera. Since the Spaniard took over as head coach in Frankfurt, the season has “really started now” for the 21-year-old. Højlund has been in the starting lineup in six of nine matches under Riera.

Asked about his positive development, he emphasized the mental side above all after the match: “When you get your chance, you have to be ready. Above all, I’ve learned to be more patient and to hold my position.”

That newly found discipline seems to be exactly what Eintracht need right now.
