Drunk Hinteregger? “Does he have to watch out”

Fredi Bobic has warned Eintracht Frankfurt’s newcomer Martin Hinteregger against further alcohol escapades. The understanding for the player, however, is quite present on the part of the manager.

“He’s a good boy – but things like that, he has to be a little careful. Nowadays everything is being recorded,” Bobic said about Martin Hinteregger at RTL after winning 2-1 against Flora Tallinn in qualifying for the Europa League. This had recently been filmed in Austria with a high alcohol content.

At that time Hinteregger was still a player of FC Augsburg, meanwhile the desired transfer to Frankfurt could be realized. “Of course the video also played a certain role,” Bobic admitted, but pointed out that FCA had been ready to talk before.

Bobic stressed that Frankfurt had behaved fairly in the talks: “We didn’t provoke anything. With Augsburg, we have found a solution where everyone saves face.”

The manager had a good understanding for the player. “I was a player myself, we had a team evening once,” he classified, although he couldn’t approve of the action: “At the end of the day, he’s with us. He’ll submit, don’t worry.”
