Frankfurt's squad weaker than last season as pressure mounts

Despite winning all five preseason friendlies, Eintracht Frankfurt enters the new Bundesliga campaign with a concern that's growing inside the club: the squad is weaker than last season's, according to *kicker*.

The responsibility falls on Markus Krösche, the club's sporting director, who faces a difficult situation: he must sell players to raise funds while also bringing in reinforcements to compete. A complicated equation that puts pressure on the organization, especially when the good results in friendlies contrast with uncertainty about how they'll handle the domestic league's challenges.
