15-year-old record of former ÖFB captain shaky
A 15-year-old record in the German Bundesliga, set by Christian Fuchs in his day, is tottering. At the weekend, Frankfurt striker Omar Marmoush drew level with the former Austrian captain. Next matchday, he would be the sole record holder.
Marmoush is currently Eintracht Frankfurt's shooting star. In the current season, the 25-year-old Egyptian has already scored 14 goals in 16 competitive matches for the Hessians and assisted ten goals.
He was also the outstanding man on the pitch last matchday against VfB Stuttgart and once again proved to have a fine touch with his third consecutive free-kick goal.
Three free-kick goals from Fuchs
Before him, only former Austrian international Christian Fuchs managed that in 2009 in a Bochum shirt. The now 38-year-old, who ended his career in the USA almost two years ago, scored a free-kick on matchdays 15, 16 and 17 against VfB Stuttgart (1:1), FC Bayern (1:5) and Hannover 96 (2:3). "My left foot seems to be set up really well at the moment. Everything is going well at the moment," said the left-back happily at the time. "During the week, I volunteered to do extra shifts. That gave me some security."
Marmoush also puts in extra shifts, as coach Dino Toppmöller confirmed: "Omar practises this for himself every now and then after training. Together with others. Anyone who has ever played knows how much fun it is to shoot free kicks."
Should Marmoush also score from a free-kick on the next matchday after the international break on November 23 against Werder Bremen, he would be the sole record holder. In any case, an impressive run by the 25-year-old!
