A few hours before officially becoming a new Manchester City player, Omar Marmoush made his last appearance at Deutsche Bank Park, sitting in the stands during the success (2-0) ofEintracht Frankfurt on Borussia Dortmund who kept the Eagles in third place. Lurking -2 behind Leverkusen who are on 38 points.
The heartbreaking farewell
The Egyptian striker did not play, but at the referee’s final whistle he immediately headed onto the pitch, passing through the tunnels dedicated to the teams for entering and exiting the pitch. To set foot one last time on the pitch that consecrated him into the player he is now, explicitly requested by Pep Guardiola at City. Greetings to his companions, with hugs and emotions. With a few tears of emotion shed and dried in the sweatshirt thinking back to the moments at Eintracht. It took him 18 months to leave an indelible mark in the hearts of the fans, with a small space in his dedicated to the German club.
The dedication
After 37 goals and 19 assists in 65 games with Eintracht, Marmoush says goodbye and is about to sign with Manchester City: a deal worth 75 million euros, waiting to make his debut with the sky blues perhaps already against Chelsea next Saturday. “The way the boys and the whole stadium celebrate Omar is extraordinary. This says everything about the club. Everyone loves him. I will miss him as a player, but even more as a person. It makes me proud, but also sad,” he said the coach of Eintracht Frankfurt, Dino Toppmoller, at the microphones of DAZN after the victory over BVB.
