The Concord fighters shows. On Wednesday 19 football professionals have made their way across the border in the direction of Basel’s St. Jakob-Park. Not present: Djibril Sow. The Swiss Yellow are missing-locked in the home. Hütter will have to plan on the interface in front of the defense is different. Dominik Kohr pushes it back to the side of Sebastian Rode. No matter which Eleven Hütter decide on: Under the flood light must all fit. Goalkeeper Kevin Trapp said: “If someone can grab the Sensation, then we are. We have proven in the past, we have also played in the back round in front of everyone in the away games strong.“
The Europe-travel of Concord goes on – at least until this Thursday. Started you little more than a year in the Baltic States, where the hessians were victorious in the first qualifier of 2:1 at FC Flora Tallinn. So now the reunion with Basel, with the team of coach Marcel Koller, who has given the harmony in the first leg in March, a lesson. Kevin Bua, one of the scorers at the time, not any more. He has left the confederates. A, the harmony has for years been the Faithful and the team will head this Thursday as a captain, has a special relationship with the FC Basel: David Abraham. For the Argentinians in Basel was his first professional station in Europe. 2008 is the been.
for Four years, the quick Central defender has played at the FC. In the case of Concord, the 34-year-old Abraham is in his sixth season. His hope: “We want to bend the result,” he said on Wednesday evening in Basel. “We want a 4:0.” While the Eintracht has denied a few days ago at 1:1 against AS Monaco in a game this summer, the FC Basel in the weekly tournament mode.

The Concord is doomed to win. Because of the 0:3 from the first leg, you need goals – many goals. Responsible for André Silva, Bas Dost and Goncalo Paciencia to be in the first line of the striker:. Just the Portuguese was in splendid condition. Since the re-start of the Bundesliga he has scored in ten Games eight times. Behind top scorer Robert Lewandowski, Silva is the second most successful attacker in this Phase. The Eintracht managed to make the leap in the second round against Basel, it was also Silva’s merit. The 2:2 in Salzburg, he managed to score with head and feet, both of Frankfurt’s gates.
Also Daichi Kamada has been shown most recently as the aggressive professional. The game strong Japanese heard for months to Hütters first Eleven, feels particularly comfortable, if the sound Cup anthem and he has to prove himself in the Europa League. Six hits of the elegant attacker testify.
