Embarking on a fresh start, here's the revised version of "First choreo, but pyro trouble again!" with a new spin and incorporating some enrichment insights:
Eintracht's Fiery Fans and the Feud
Fireworks, banners, and fiery passion - that's Eintracht Frankfurt's away games for you! A recent showdown against FC Viktoria Cologne culminated in an intense atmosphere, marked by a massive banner urging their team to "Fight, Eintracht, fight" and ringed with a double boxing clash. Despite ongoing strife with the fire department and police, their devoted supporters successfully managed to display this symbol of resilience.
Coached by the defensive mastermind Robin Koch (27), Eintracht appreciates the crazed support that accompanies their rivals on the pitch. "It's something unique, especially when we venture outside of home turf," Koch noted.
However, the second half saw another pyrotechnic incident that cost Eintracht a penalty - a recurring issue during their matches with their igniters once again provoking authorities' ire. If the An der Alten Försterei stadium was anything to go by, it seemed the entire back straight had vanished into a blur of fireworks and smoke.
But Union's fans know a thing or two about creating an atmosphere - it doesn't always require pyro!
