Dino Toppmöller defends Eintracht Frankfurt's defense in interview

Dino Toppmöller, former head coach of Eintracht Frankfurt, defended his defensive record in an interview with L’Équipe. He highlighted that Frankfurt had the sixth-best defense in his first season and the fifth-best in his second, but attributed the decline to key player departures before his dismissal. Toppmöller discussed the team's defensive issues, noting that his successor Markus Krösche continued to face similar problems. The team's tactical weaknesses were exposed during matches, especially in a high-scoring draw against Werder Bremen and a recent defeat to Hoffenheim.
