Bad Knauff's Rollercoaster Season Continues
Ansgar Knauff (21), following a lengthy slump, found his form in his new role behind striker Marmoush, scoring three goals in recent weeks. Yet, his season has been a rollercoaster ride of ups and downs.
Trouble struck once more during Eintracht Frankfurt's 2:2 draw against Werder Bremen. Knauff conceded a penalty, leading to Bremen's first goal and later missed a glorious opportunity.
If the attacker is forced to play defense in his own penalty area, things rarely go well. Knauff had already missed a penalty in Wolfsburg (0:2). However, Philipp Max and Aurélio Buta's tangle in Bremen ultimately started the counterattack that led to the penalty.
"We were heading into half-time at 0-0, then we got that unfortunate goal. We had already stopped that one," Max commented on the situation ["Sport - Lighthouse Central"].
