DB: “Mario Gotze has developed particularly well in the last month, and he is becoming more a leading player for them.
“He has not rediscovered himself, he has returned himself. If you look at the young Mario Gotze, when he was in Borussia Dortmund, he was one of the best players in the world. He was fast, he could dribble, he could shoot and he had excellent vision and intelligence.
“Then he moved to Bayern Munich and his career received a small slide because he really didn’t get there. He did not have a major injury, but he had some health problems (a metabolic disorder) so he was out of the radar.
“Then he moved to PSV Eindhoven, and there he became a different Mario Gotze because he is not so explosive, not so fast.
“And now in Frankfurt, he is like a quarterback. He is playing a little more protective than he is in his career prime minister, but he still has a tremendous vision and ability to scan everything that is happening in the field, so he helps and begins offensive actions for the team. He is no longer the one who makes more pronounced items.

Frankfurt attacker Ecitic hugo reported to be of interest to Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool AND Manchester City, And he will want to testify against Spurs that he could cut him against the opposition of the Premier League.
22-year-old French, who was once a Newcastle Target has scored 19 goals and provided eight assists in all competitions this season, so he will follow Marmosh in the highest English flight this summer?
DB: “The ecitic is great. He is one of the best players in the Bundesliga because he is really fast, he is tall, and very technically good with the ball, so he makes him a weapon. He is the one that the spurs have to stop Frankfurt.
“Links to Premier League clubs are definitely there. I don’t know exactly where it will go, but Frankfurt is quite sure he will leave at the end of the season.
“I think the ecitic has everything to play for a high Bundesliga club. But he is not a training monster, so this can be a matter for a Premier League club. He is also not the most powerful guy, though he is athletic despite being a little thin.
“But I think with his abilities, his speed and his conclusion, he could definitely play a major role in the Premier League.”

“He’s a right arm and he is the boy to see. He does not have a high buzz around him, but he can be the other boy really good from Frankfurt.
“One of Frankfurt’s biggest strengths are counter-sulfare because they have these fast players.
“When they brought the chief Dino Toppmoller, they wanted to develop more a possession -based approach, and they tried to implement it last season, but it didn’t work so well.
“Now they have returned to that high -speed team and since then they have been increasingly dangerous.”

“They are happy with him because they didn’t think he would come in and score 15 goals in the second half of the season – he is a rotating player who enters, not a key player for them.
“He is giving them a physical and a presence in the box. He adds a different ingredient to the offensive game because he is a little more powerful. He can hold the balls and hold it for a few seconds until the rest of the team comes to him.”
But there is also the potential for Frankfurt to be gripped from Tottenham forward Mathys wirewhich they targeted in January before Bayern Munich’s young man joined the spurs with loans.
DB: “Frankfurt wanted to bring Mathys Tel as a replacement for Marmosi. In an interview with Toppmoller last week, he was very open to this, and he confirmed he likes.

“Frankfurt is growing. If they can play at their highest level, they have an advantage, and I would say Frankfurt will be moved to the semis.
“But they are not as stable as in the first half of the season, so this could be a factor in the Frankfurt we will see. But I would say they have the advantage.”
