Jovic, Haller and Rebic scored 17, 15 and nine goals respectively in the Bundesliga last season, 68% of the club’s total of 60, as part of an attacking trio that the continent is envious of.
However, the organization is now dissolved. Jovic signed for Real Madrid, Haller went to West Ham United and Rebic ceded to AC Milan, which made Hutter’s hopes of emulating an impressive first season at Commerzbank-Arena suffer a major setback, but he did not growl. went to the paintings to dig up more gems to fill the void.

In Portuguese striker Goncalo Patience, he already had one he had ready in the latter stages of last season, as he once returned to the Balkans to locate Dejan Joveljic, near only the call of the boy who is appointed to replace.
The 19-year-old Serbian striker was not only born in the same town of Bijeljina as Jovic, but also made his teeth to the red star of Belgrade. He is now expected to go up to 8 goals in 17 Serbian league games last season by taking on Jovic’s. percentage of scoring tasks in Frankfurt this quarter.
However, the Eintracht’s plan committee did not do so there. With a consecutive European League crusade moment achieved through progression in 3 qualifying rounds, Frankfurt seeks to do better with a new attack quartet.
At Bas Dost, Hutter has discovered his goal and a player with experience in the Bundesliga. After 37 goals in 86 league games with Wolfsburg, the wonderful Dutchman returns from a goal-filled era in Portugal with Sporting Lisbon (76 in 84 Games of La Liga NOS).
A few days after that arrival, Frankfurt announced the signing of European champion Andre Silva on a two-year loan from Milan from an exchange with Rebic.
Before the deals for the last couple, Joveljic and Patience had shown the first symptoms that they could recompose Frankfurt’s thrilling attacking triumvirate with Rebic.
Patience scored a hat-trick at Eintracht’s first summer educational session, a 14-0 victory over Homberg in early July. He succeeded Haller at half-time in a symbolic passage from the witness, the French striker leaving the club a few days later.
“It’s definitely a big loss for us,” Patience admitted on the club’s website. “He’s one of the most productive strikers I’ve ever played with and we’ll inevitably miss him, but we have enough quality on the team to make up for it. it’ll give me a better chance of going out myself. Dejan joined us and we have Ante, and they’re both hard-painted players. “
Patience then teamed up with Rebic in a 5–1 loss to Hutter’s former club, the Young Boys, who were already entering full league action mode, with Joveljic taking comfort in his debut. Patience then scored his fourth preseason gol. la goal in a 3–1 win over FC Lucerne, with Joveljic teaming up with the Portuguese striker in the part of the moment and adding almost a quarter in arrears in the match.
Following the 7-0 win over FC Wels, Patience saw a hat-trick and a double from Joveljic, his substitute at half-time, before Frankfurt forgot about the friendly and targeted the Europa League standings, with Joveljic marking his first competitive appearance with the club. by scoring the winner in the 2–1 win in Tallinn.
“He’s still young, but he’s incredibly hungry,” Frankfurt sporting director Fredi Bobic said of the young Serb. “You can see it in his eyes. He’s on the hunt for the game in the Bundesliga and he looks mature. I’m sure it will be reported quickly. “
A week later, Paciencia scored twice on the comeback attack off Flora, her first of five goals in 10 competitive starts at the start of the season, with Joveljic as her surprising husband from the start.
However, as a newcomer, the Serbian is comfortable with Frankfurt. Since his debut as a purpose scorer, he has only finished twice in 90 minutes. By comparison, Jovic scored a goal and played 90 minutes only once in his first 8 appearances.
Neither is Dost going to miss the party of the first purpose. 12 minutes after leaving the bench, he in Frankfurt before one of his new associates, Patience, scored a goal in the 2–1 win over Fortuna Dusseldorf.
Now goes up to that the compatriot of Patience Silva. The 23-year-old has scored 15 goals in 33 matches with Portugal, appearing from what he is capable of at the highest level despite difficult periods in Italian Serie A with Milan and in the Spanish La Liga with Sevilla. Like the linguistic link between Jovic and Rebic, portuguese duo Silva and Patience can be mutually useful.
With Joveljic, Patience and Dost already firing, Silva entering the mix, it turns out that Frankfurt has enough firepower for his attack on 3 fronts in the Bundesliga, DFB Cup and Europa League, but there are even more waiting for the scenes.
Offensive midfielder Daichi Kamada has returned from his loan at Saint-Trond as a new player and has played in this season’s 10 competitive games. Filip Kostic, Mijat Gacinovic, Danny da Costa and another summer recruit, Djibril Sow, supply more and more than H-tter’s headache at seeing Jovic, Haller and Rebic leave has been greatly relieved.
The Austrian coach happens to have discovered ammunition for some other successful crusade at home and abroad.
