Freiburg (dpa / lsw) – Anastacia is spared Christian Streich this time. The starting situation before the guest appearance of SC Freiburg on Saturday (3.30 p.m. / Sky) is similar to that three years ago when the singer appeared in the Munich stadium. As in 2017, the Badeners still have chances in Europe and Bayern already have the championship. But because of the Corona crisis and the ghost games “it will be completely different this time,” said Streich on Thursday.
In May 2017, the early championship of Munich was celebrated with a lot of celebrities and an appearance by Anastacia during the half-time break. Due to the subsequent dismantling of the stage, Freiburg was annoyed by delays. Now there will be no similar pompous party in front of empty stands. Streich has got used to the ghost games. But he “does not know what a party should look like without a spectator,” said the 55-year-old.
The focus is currently on sports. For the Munich too, Streich suspects. He does not expect that after the decisive 1-0 win in Bremen on Tuesday, she had too much trouble with her master party. “I don’t think that’s still in their bones. They want to play again as champions and don’t want to lose against us at home, they’re too professional and too ambitious for that.” He congratulated the Bavarians on the new title, and he could “just take his hat off” for their constant performance over many years. “I am personally happy for Hansi because he has achieved great things in the months since he has been in this position, and also before,” said Streich about Bayern coach Hansi Flick.
In order to pass the championship and maintain the chance for an international starting position, his team had to be “ready in Munich to suffer and with a lot of energy and passion”. Three years ago, the game ended 4-1 for Bayern. The Freiburg were still happy about the Europa League, but failed in the qualification.
In contrast to his coaching colleagues, he “did not make any calculations”, which is still possible for the SC this season, said Streich now. He did not watch on television that Hoffenheim had passed the Freiburg team by a 3-1 win in Augsburg on Wednesday and was seventh in front of the SC. “I didn’t watch football, it happens to me sometimes,” explained Streich, “I only heard it from my son, who reported the results to me.”
