Evaluating the New League Format
The discussion also touched on the new league format, where teams face eight different opponents. The players shared their experiences thus far, noting the challenges of performing consistently, especially in away matches. They recognized the need for improvement but were pleased with their overall performance, particularly in front of home fans.

Scoring just before halftime bolstered their strategy, as it forced Frankfurt to deviate from their preferred style of counterattacking football.
