Although the results are mostly correct and SC Freiburg is still in the top flight of the Bundesliga, the players miss the flow of the first phase of the season. “It was hard work again, but we didn’t want to lose the game under any circumstances,” said Vincenzo Grifo after the 2-1 (0-1) home win against VfB Stuttgart. Chris Führich had previously put the Swabians in the lead.

Away in the league, there have recently been high defeats against VfL Wolfsburg (0:6) and Borussia Dortmund (1:5). In the DFB Cup, too, the Sport-Club struggled for a long time (2-0) when they reached the quarter-finals at second-division side SV Sandhausen.
“It wasn’t enough with the ball, but also not enough against the ball,” said Lars Vossler, who represented the suspended head coach Christian Streich on the sidelines. Captain Christian Günter, who spoke before the game in the dressing room, also knows that Freiburg need to improve again. “But we’re not perfect either, otherwise we could lie on the sun loungers during the week,” he said.
From an emotional point of view, however, it was not an easy week for Freiburg after Daniel-Kofi Kyereh was diagnosed with a cruciate ligament rupture on Friday. Teammates expressed their sympathy with printed warm-up shirts that featured Kyereh’s number and name. “I’m incredibly sorry for him,” said Grifo. “We wanted to show him that he’s not alone and that we support him. We’re always there for him. That’s what sets our team apart.”
