Holzer: Semifinals as valuable as the Champions League

Eintracht has been on everyone's lips since the coup against Barcelona in the Europa League quarter-finals. "Eintracht Frankfurt's perception has changed internationally," reports supervisory board head Philip Holzer.

Among other things, this signal to the former board of the investment bank Goldman Sachs the numerous congratulations that he received from the USA and South America. A blatant outsider in the title fight are now no longer-and possibly only three games removed from their first champions League participation.

According to Holzer, according to Holzer, it is prohibited from "already having respect for the upcoming opponent West Ham and the current competition". However, it would also be independent of this in Holzer's eyes to make any reaching of the premier class to the measure of all things. Because: For Eintracht, it is "more important than the one-time effect of a Champions League participation in continuously lifting our income to a higher level in the long term". And that is exactly what a regular Europa League start is the ideal basis.

Because a victory in the Europa League counts as much as a victory in the Champions League. And from this uefa- Coefficients ranking can be made for long -term revenue for our association. "

Undergraded from our perspective, a semi-finals in the Europa League is as valuable as the move into the Champions League group phase. " And: "Three years ago we stood in the semi -finals of the Europa League, now again. If someone offers me to be back in the semi -finals of this competition in three years, I immediately sign it."
