Freiburg (AP) – Freiburg coach Christian Streich and his Berlin colleague Urs Fischer agreed in their analysis. The will was a decisive reason for the 3: 1 (1: 0) of the Breisgau against Union on Saturday. SC Freiburg “wanted more”, said Fischer and spoke respectfully of the hostility being “disgusting”. The sport club had already lost twice to the Berlin team this season, and it had been a special incentive.
“It was seen that we did not want to be boiled down again. We really opposed it this time,” said Streich and happily accepted the congratulations from the Union coach. With 36 points now, the Badeners should probably no longer have to worry about relegation, but can instead continue to calculate chances of qualifying for the Europa League.
Also promoted 1. FC Union is still nine points behind the relegation relegation rank, but missed the opportunity to successfully prepare for the difficult home game against Bayern Munich next Saturday. “We have to deal with our own mistakes for the mistakes. It has been felt in many scenes that Freiburg was a step ahead,” said defender Neven Subotic. Fischer summed up: “If we don’t push ourselves to the limit, it will simply be difficult.”
After the defeat in the first leg in Berlin and the two-round defeat in the DFB Cup against Union, Roland Sallai (34th minute), Christian Günter (55th) and international Robin Koch (82nd) scored the goals for the Freiburg. For the harmless Berliners Sebastian Andersson (61.). In addition to the next defeat three days after the cup ended in Leverkusen, Union lost Marvin Friedrich with yellow-red in the final phase. Günter and Manuel Gulde injured themselves on the Freiburg side. An exact diagnosis was initially pending.
After their final weakness that lasted for weeks, the Baden team helped this time with two standard goals and the determination of Günter, who thrust the ball into the top right corner of the goal in front of 24,000 spectators. With the success, the sports club also overcame an advancement complex. Against the three Bundesliga newcomers, only three out of 15 possible points had jumped out this season.
A week after the game between Union and Wolfsburg was about to be canceled due to the abuse against Hoffenheim patron Dietmar Hopp, there were protest banners of the fans before the eyes of DFB President Fritz Keller. “DFB Dietmar’s Football Association” was, among other things, on a banner in the Freiburg fan curve. “Your dialogues more appearances than being,” it said on the part of the Union fans. The conflict between parts of the fans and the DFB was triggered by the revocation of the suspended sentence for Borussia Dortmund fans, who are not allowed to accompany their team to TSG Hoffenheim for two seasons.
An emergency response briefly caused silence in the Freiburg curve in the second half. But soon the fans support their team again, and the announcement gave the all-clear.
