Eintracht Frankfurt could not get past a goalless draw against FC St. Pauli in Hamburg yesterday. However, Albert Riera was not entirely dissatisfied with his team’s performance.

“Defensively, we were largely solid, we’re making progress there, and we’ve kept a clean sheet for the second match in a row. To win games, first and foremost, we must not concede goals. But with the ball, we simply have to do better; we had too many touches and didn’t play quickly enough. We need to find the open man with a maximum of two touches. I’m sure we’ll do better in the next game,” said the 43-year-old to the club’s own media.
He went on to emphasize what he expects from his squad in the future: “I told my players that offensively, we were too far from what we’re capable of with the ball. Against mid and deep blocks, we simply have to pass faster. I don’t expect a 90 percent pass completion rate, but rather that we take more risks. That’s a matter of development. Like every game, this one was difficult as well. But I’m not dissatisfied because—as I’ve demanded from day one—attitude, commitment, and energy were right once again. That’s the minimum. I’m satisfied with my boys’ attitude; you can’t come here to St. Pauli and let up in terms of effort and passion. We gave everything, but didn’t win.”
In the next Bundesliga match against 1. FC Heidenheim, the Eintracht professionals can take the next step under Riera.
