strong reaction
How important is the 3: 2 success of the former state league team FC Freiburg-St. Georgen against Prechtal / Oberprechtal, a look at the ranking clarifies: only two points separate Roberto Palermo’s team from the sure twelfth place. However, Freiburg fell behind at the start against strong Prechtlers. Palermo complained about the lack of office in the defensive areas: “We often put our opponents in good positions for individual mistakes. This is also due to the inexperience of the young players. But: we never give up.” Carl Gertsen leveled after a corner kick. The hosts came into play better in the second half and Samuel Fabender, now more inclined to be up front than center back, led the way 2-1. “So what happened is what we need to focus on in the future,” said Palermo, referring to the defense of set pieces. After a free kick, Prechtler hit Patrick Pleuler with a 2-2 header. It was reserved for young substitute Mirko Gribi to score the 3-2 winning goal with a long-range shot. SG goalkeeper Marvin Vogt was apparently still stunned from a previous duel; he also had to be replaced in injury time. “Even the draw would have been right,” said Palermo. “But I wanted to see a reaction to Tuesday’s weak game (0: 5 in Emmendingen, ed). This time the mentality and commitment were right.”
