The almost 1,500 kilometers that separate Madrid and Frankfurt have also been for Jovic those who establish the limit between ostracism and pure happiness: Since he returned to Eintracht Frankfurt, his home team and to which Madrid has yielded due to his lack of opportunities for the target, the Serbian forward has scored three goals in just 76 minutes, one every 25 '. Jovic continues to start from the bench, the figure of former Sevilla player André Silva (15 goals this course) continues to weigh more than him, but in his brief opportunities it shows that the change of ecosystem has been key.
Against Armania he scored with a powerful left foot inside the area, but his game went much further: he showed in each intervention the versatility that he lacked in Madrid and gave an assistance to his partner Kostic that he did not know how to take advantage of. In Madrid, between last year and how little he participated in the present (just 208 minutes), Jovic managed to score two goals in 1,014 minutes; in Frankfurt, where he had already done 36 during his first stage, he has three in less than 80 '…
Madrid's plan with Jovic
Away from Zidane, Jovic smiles. The Frenchman reiterated his confidence in the Serbian, at the same time that his actions went in the opposite direction: he played his last minutes as a Madrid player, just 7 ', in Valencia on February 8. Ultimately, the club observed that the player continued to depreciate (It cost 60 million; today, according to Transfermarkt, it is worth only 20) and he preferred a loan so that he could play and revalue for a future sale, which is certainly happening. Zidane agreed to stay only with Benzema, its owner, and a Mariano with whom he does not have.
Nothing to do with Adi Hütter, the coach who produced his best version in 2018-19 (27 goals and 7 assists), now delighted with his return: “He did everything possible to come. He is an incredible player,” he said as his loan was about to close.
