Frankfurt, Germany – E be like say the wind don change for Frankfurt city forest o! Wetin happen? Na wetin dem dey call strange weather, as e don dey blow for everybody wey wan watch Champions League matches.
As we dey talk now, our beloved Eintracht Frankfurt dey sit down for sixth place for the Bundesliga table. No be say dem bad but dem don dey struggle small for the DFB-Pokal competition, wey dey reason dem dey chop small chop from better teams during penalty shootouts (no be them go sabi how to score when e matter reach).
If you check am well, the feeling around the team dey tense like when dem show your grandma video of you dancing without rhythm. Pessimists fit talk say if dem no win today, wahala go sure dey, as the home performances don dey bad pass exam results of a kakistocracy.
And speaking of wahala, little Jonny Burkardt don settle for sidelines. Na im be the only proper striker wey sabi wetin to do with ball for Bundesliga. Rumor get power, e fit carry am till January before we see am again. At the same time, we still get two strikers wey dem buy for nearly 30 million euros but na only for bench dem dey shine, no be for pitch.
One of dem, Elye Wahi, don make fans vex well-well as dem dey boo am like say na comedian dey perform bad joke. The whole stadium dey grumble, and e dey remind everybody of how bad the vibes dey. The other striker? E don turn to ghost for the pitch, no be lie.
This matter come start make people dey think say maybe Na U19 and U21 boys go fit shine today. Omo, na serious o! E no dey common to see young padi dem waka enter the team when the big boys dey okay for bench. But at least the injury of Burkardt don help clear the conversation about needing new strikers — wetin don dey obvious, we need new runs for the team.
Another sign say things no too dey alright be say tickets still dey for Eintracht ticket shop like left-over jollof rice wey nobody wan chop. Dis match dey important o! If dem fit win this one, e go mean dem don separate from group wey dey chase dem completion, like Bremen, Köln and Union. Plus, next week go fit give dem chance to catch up with Leipzig wey dey second for the table. Na so dem go dey enjoy the Christmas vibes better.
As for who go start for today, e go hard to call am, especially as Wolfsburg dey face their own crisis. Dem need to fear relegation if dem no fit chop win today, talk about pressure!
I go try to guess line-up — but no matter wetin, I dey wish everybody Happy First Advent! Make we see wetin go happen.
