Veh eyes defensive reinforcements

Eintracht Frankfurt coach Armin Veh has targeted three new central defenders to help his side remain in the Bundesliga. Frankfurt were promoted back to the top flight of German football after a one-year absence last season, but Veh says they will be going straight back down again if he does not get a solid backbone to his side. "I think I have got some good guys so far, but we certainly need another three central defenders," he said. "We all agree that you cannot win games in football without a defence. If we did not know that, then we may as well all give up now." Frankfurt have sold one of their central defenders, Gordon Schildenfeld, this summer, leaving only Heiko Butscher as a fit, recognised centre-back on their books. Martin Amedick is currently signed off for an indefinite spell due to burn-out. "We have got may young, talented players who we can really improve, but only on the condition that I get my central defender," he added in the Suddeutsche Zeitung newspaper. From fifa
