With a clear victory at the TSG Hoffenheim SC Freiburg is pushed to the third place of the Bundesliga table. So good it went to the start never – but coach Christian Streich is dampening expectations.
Could it really be the same again, 25 years ago? At the time of the “small” sport club Freiburg was ranked at the end of the Bundesliga season 1994/1995 a sensational third place. It ranked behind Borussia Dortmund and Werder Bremen, but before the “big” FC Bayern and Bayer Leverkusen, Schalke 04 and other clubs that have actually had a claim to be the season among the Top three complete.
Top three? In front of the FC Bayern? That is exactly where the Freiburg researchers are also now. Granted, the season is only four games old, but the way the SC in the case of the TSG Hoffenheim the season, points seven, eight and nine run in, was quite remarkable. As a team, very closed, biting in defense, action, fast switching, and ice-cold in front of the opposing goal. “I have nothing to complain about. We have made it in many phases, really good. It was a deserved victory that does us really good,” said sporting Director Jochen Saier Sky.
First, the classes hold!
Again and again, the Freiburg-based attacks in the direction of the TSG gate, which was guarded by Ex-Freiburg’s Oliver Baumann, prevented on several occasions a still greater defeat for its extremely weak operating team rolled. Three times he was powerless: Christian Günter (11. Minute), Janik Haberer (38.) and Nils Petersen (59.) met, Petersen even twice, however, he stood for his second goal in an Offside position.
It burns in the penalty area: Freiburg Höhler (l.) with the opportunity of the TSG-defense can still be saved
Thanks to the clear and deserved success, the researchers from Freiburg have now the best start to a season in their Bundesliga-Histore hung, which now includes, after all, already a 20-game times. The “heroes” of today are even better than the “Ex-heroes” of 25 years ago. At the time, goalkeeper Jörg Schmadtke, the midfield Director Rodolfo Cardoso, a total of 16 goals this season, and now probably the most forgotten striker Uwe Spies, after all, 13 times successfully. Schmadtke and co. was in 1994 at 2. Round even a 5:1 victory against Bayern managed, however, you had to Have four game days (according to today’s Three-points rule) was only five counters on the page. As it is, what it is still possible to see.
“It feels really good,” said Janik Haberer at Sky, before braking put a verbal and warned: “There will be other times to come back. Our primary goal is to keep the class.”
String: “Today, it’s easy”
Has already experienced a lot: Christian Streich
His coach Christian Streich, who is not prone to Arrogance or recklessness, said after the game that he was for the first Time ever this season, quite satisfied with the performance of his team: “What we have achieved today: When we had the Ball, we played with good ball security and us chances to score.”On the place in the sun approached, the Team is currently buffered string to the expectations. “If we don’t win five, six or seven games – that comes mostly from us, I have a certain amount of experience – then it will show how we act together,” said prank. “Today, it’s easy. Difficult it will be in four weeks or eight weeks or twelve weeks.”
Nevertheless, With FC Augsburg and Fortuna Düsseldorf, the next two opponents are also in the category of “doable.” The height of flight of the SC could still go on for a while, three weeks away, and a real “firecracker waiting with Borussia Dortmund” in the black forest.
