Sharp insights from training sessions - The unfortunate collision at Trapp

On a Wednesday, Frankfurt's goalkeeper Kevin Trapp (33) swapped out his position as a goalkeeper for a striker spot in Eintracht's final pre-break test and released his frustrations through two goals. The following day, he showered red roses upon his girlfriend Izabel Goulart (39) in Cannes.

Prior to this, in November, Trapp was standing between the goalposts for the national team in their Vienna (0:2) encounter with Austria. His performance was commendable and earned him a spot among the DFB's finest. However, his efforts didn't result in a nomination as Nagelsmann chose Manuel Neuer (38), Marc-André ter Stegen (32), Oliver Baumann (33), and Alexander Nübel (27). Despite the fact that Bernd Leno (32) sustained an injury, Trapp remained unlucky.

Eintracht's fans reminisce on remarkable saves

Kevin Trapp has played in Frankfurt since 2019

Eintracht's supporters long for the Kevin Trapp who once safeguarded Frankfurt's 2022 Europa League victory with spectacular saves.

Currently, Trapp, who has suffered from back issues from time to time, has only stopped approximately 65% of the balls he's encountered. Additionally, only around 70% of his long passes have been successfully received during build-up play which poses a problem for the team.

To make matters worse, Trapp now faces genuine competition at Eintracht!

Eintracht's goalkeeping coach Jan Zimmermann signed top talent Santos, the U20 captain at Flamengo and bears resemblance to Liverpool's renowned goalkeeper Alisson, with the claim, "Captain as a goalkeeper - that speaks volumes about your character." It remains to be seen if Santos' potential threatens Trapp's position.

Is top model Goulart distracting him too much from professional sport?

Goulart continues to be a hot topic among Eintracht. There's been an ongoing dialogue within the club regarding whether or not she's distracting the Frankfurt goalkeeper from his professional obligations with her demands. During events, she's rumored to instruct Trapp on how to exit the vehicle in a way that captures the perfect photo.
