Eintracht Frankfurt is currently in a sporting crisis. SGE boss Axel Hellmann also spoke about this yesterday at the members' meeting in Hesse and unexpectedly took a shot at the fans of VfB Stuttgart

"Out there in the Bundesliga, people are rubbing their hands because some have been waiting for us to hit a sporting slump," he was quoted by 'Bild' before the jab at the Swabians followed: "That the people of Frankfurt with their big mouths are finally being put in their place, and they are happy and, with their chest ring on the jersey, leave no social media platform unused to mock us."

The chest ring is a distinctive detail on the VfB Stuttgart jersey, which means Hellmann's remarks could only be directed at the Swabians. According to 'Bild' information, there is actually a very good relationship between the two clubs at the management level, which makes the statements a bit surprising.
