Kevin Trapp lets his 1.7 million followers participate in his life far from football on Instagram. It shows himself in the New Year's Eve outfit under palm trees, as a coffee connoisseur or in advertising for a fashion group. However, his latest contributions are more concerned with his profession as a professional athlete. They convey in short scenes that are cut together for a almost half-minute video that the 34-year-old is a lot of effort to dispel doubts about his fitness state.
Trapp lets the muckis play and films how he trims his shoulders when it comes to weight, hanging on the pull -up rod with a bare breast, increasing the explosiv force in his legs and in the spring sun flies behind the balls, which shot around his ears, but become prey to the jumping keeper.
The sequences are supposed to transport a message: Trapp brings itself physically (again) in a top form and is ready for the fight for number one at Eintracht Frankfurt, which plays in the FAZ live ticker for the Bundesliga and Sky) in Bremen this Saturday (6.30 p.m. in the FAZ live ticker. Against Werder he is not yet there. “It only makes sense if it is really 100 percent,” said Dino Toppmöller. The coach reported on Thursday of persistent “pain”, especially with “long balls”. When Trapp returns is accordingly open: “It is difficult to say what the further timetable is. It is clear that Kauã Santos will stand in goal against Bremen.”
Trapp played his last game to date on March 9 at the defeat against Union Berlin (1: 2); During the performances in Bochum (3: 1) and against Stuttgart (1: 0) and in the round of 16 second leg in the European Cup against Amsterdam (4: 1), he was out of the outside because of a shin injury. And from the observer role, he had to watch, in Toppmöller's words “almost eaten up by ambition”, how substitute Santos collected plus points through sovereign.
The Brazilian had already represented Trapp four times in the first half of the season. At the time, the 21-year-old did not do the tasks without errors and presented himself against Mainz (1: 3) shortly before Christmas, when Trapp had signed off due to flu symptoms, as a bundle of nerves. The fact that the team captain greeted the upper body free of charge from the vacation on the Caribbean island of St. Barth immediately afterwards, caused displeasure with some of the club -rands who doubted the professionalism of the former national keeper.
Trapp is the responsibility as captain of Eintracht, which he in the past, often convincing, fulfilled. Without its reflexes, the Europa League triumph 2022 would have been nothing against the Glasgow Rangers. His word has weight among his colleagues, through his language talent is the native of Saarland, who is in a relationship with the Brazilian model Izabel Goulart, an estimated link within the cabin that combines kickers from twelve nations.

In addition, Trapp is welcome as a figurehead of the Eintracht: When he took part in the general meeting of the association in the century hall in February, people looked for his closeness to take photos or to receive autographs. The intention is to integrate Trapp in administrative form after its active time in order to support the club that strives for more international standing.
At the latest in summer, when it is clear whether harmony has to prepare for a champions League season, the tricky constellation will become a topic again. Trapp's contract is valid until the end of June 2026. And a message transported his self -pictures on social media beyond the day: he definitely feels ready for more.
