1. FC Köln set off for Freiburg on Saturday with 21 players. Steffen Baumgart nominated this squad for the penultimate away game of the year.

For the 1st of Cologne, the travel stress breaks out again before Christmas. On Sunday the Billy Goats will play at SC Freiburg im Breisgau. Just three days later, the people of Cologne have to compete in Berlin, over 800 kilometers away from Freiburg.

Because of this, 1. FC Köln has exceptionally decided to use airplanes as a means of travel. Between the two games, the entourage goes back to the cathedral city and every hour that the FC professionals are in bed earlier on Sunday evening counts with a view to the last away game of the year at the Alte Försterei.

“We’re trying to get to Freiburg and back relatively quickly so that we can regenerate well despite the short time,” said Steffen Baumgart. Accordingly, after their obligatory final training on Saturday, the Cologne team set off for the airport at 3:30 p.m.

With 21 players heading towards Freiburg

Leart Pacarada and Sargis Adamyan did not get on the bus. The duo will not play any more games this calendar year due to muscle injuries. While Adamyan hadn’t made it into the matchday squad for weeks anyway, youngster Max Finkgräfe came along for Pacarada.

Otherwise, Steffen Baumgart left his squad unchanged compared to the 0-0 draw against Mainz. At least for now, because with Faride Alidou, a 21st player surprisingly got on the bus on Saturday. The loanee from Eintracht Frankfurt was recently missing due to an injury. The FC coach will therefore have to remove one player from the squad on Sunday.

The squad at a glance

Tor: Marvin Schwäbe, Matthias Köbbing

Defense: Rasmus Carstensen, Benno Schmitz, Jeff Chabot, Dominique Heintz, Timo Hübers, Luca Kilian, Max Finkgräfe

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com November 30, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

National midfielder Tomáš Souček scored a goal in the 89th minute to give West Ham players a 1:0 win on the field of the Serbian team Bačka Topola. The “Hammers” secured their place in the Europa League playoffs. In the last round, they will compete for the first place in Group A in a direct battle with Freiburg, who today outclassed Olympiakos Piraeus 5:0.

The winners of the groups will go directly to the round of 16, the second group will face the 1st round of the playoffs. The teams in third place will continue in the knockout phase of the Conference League.

In the 89th minute, Souček ran to the back post on Cornet’s cross and sent the ball into the net from close range. He once again confirmed that, even from the position of central midfielder, he is the team’s leading scorer in recent matches. The national team captain scored for the first time for West Ham three times in a row, in all cases he also ensured his team a victory in the end.

Souček made his mark in the league against Burnley (2:1) and Nottingham (3:2). Before that, he also scored in two matches for the national team, making it a total of five matches in a row. West Ham, whose nomination today lacked defender Vladimír Coufal, needs a draw at home against Freiburg in two weeks to maintain first place.

The German team confirmed their progress with an unequivocal triumph over Olympiakos, against whom they scored four goals already in the opening act. Gregoritsch flashed a hat-trick, who opened the scoring in the third minute with a quick finish in the box, and in the eighth and 36th minute he headed home.

SC Freiburg’s Matthias Ginter: Coach Christian Streich on His Potential Return to German National Team

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com November 24, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Freiburg (dpa) – If Matthias Ginter continues to perform consistently at Bundesliga soccer club SC Freiburg, his coach Christian Streich believes he will soon be a candidate for the German national team again. “For him it’s about him being good on the pitch and playing really good games. Then those in charge will see that and take him back,” said Streich on Thursday. “That would be my idea of how things should go and I assume that’s how it would happen. Then we would all be happy – the national team and us too.”

Central defender Ginter played his last international match in June against Ukraine (3:3). The 29-year-old did not play in the following two games in Poland (0-1) and against Colombia (0-2) and has not been called up since. Ginter played in 16 matches for the sports club this season.

Streich did not want to comment on the situation of the extremely stumbling DFB team. “Everyone says something about it anyway, so I’m just missing,” he said. In the two most recent international matches, Germany suffered two further setbacks against Turkey (2:3) and in Austria (0:2) on the way to the European Championship in their own country next year.

SC Freiburg: Coach Upset Over Injuries Before Crucial Bundesliga Games

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com November 23, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Freiburg (dpa/lsw) – Christian Streich is upset. Because SC Freiburg has to play the start of the important weeks until Christmas without U21 national player Merlin Röhl. The in-form 21-year-old suffered a deep wound in the Achilles tendon area in the duel with Poland and will “in all probability” be out of the Bundesliga home game against SV Darmstadt 98. Roland Sallai could be available again for at least a short stint on Saturday (3:30 p.m./Sky) after tearing a muscle fiber in his thigh.

The personnel situation remains tense – at an inopportune time. The sports club has duels “that are very important” until the turn of the year, said the coach. Despite eighth place and 14 points after eleven games, his outlook is rather downward. “You want to increase the distance so that you can move in calmer waters,” said Streich. As in the successful previous season, Freiburg have so far only lost against the top teams that are ahead of SC in the table. On the other hand, they always scored points against teams that were behind Freiburg.

In Streich’s opinion, the upcoming league games against Darmstadt, Mainz, Wolfsburg, Cologne and Heidenheim until the end of the year are all the more important. “But there is no guarantee that you will win against teams that are behind you,” he said.

In addition to Röhl, top performers such as captain Christian Günter and Maximilian Philipp are also still out. “It is important that the players who are healthy bring their performance to the pitch,” emphasized Streich. “We talk about that, including internally with the team, and not about the injured.”

However, the national players who have just returned in particular would have a lot of minutes in their legs. “We now have to regulate it from game to game, juggle it and find the balance in the lineups,” said Streich. There would also be some attractive games on the program before the short Christmas break. This also includes the Europa League games at home against Olympiakos Piraeus and away at West Ham United in London. Overwintering on the European stage is already assured.

Against Darmstadt, it was initially important “that we don’t invite the opponent to score easy goals like we did against Gladbach,” explained Streich, referring to the duel with Borussia, in which the SC was temporarily behind 3-1. “The basis is defense and stability,” said Streich. “It would simply be important to take the lead again.”

The sports club managed to do that against Mönchengladbach, but then the team gave up the lead. Managing the lead until the final whistle would brighten Streich’s mood and ensure self-confidence in Breisgau before the weeks of truth.

Congratulations, Christian Streich!

Others would also have the chance
More than deserved, because the SC Freiburg coach has never turned his heart into a murder pit when it came to socially relevant issues. Not even at the award ceremony, where he said, among other things: “When I hear that politicians from the so-called German center talk about imported anti-Semitism, then that is more than irresponsible. (…) This suggests that the Muslim people who live here simply have to leave the country. Then we would no longer have anti-Semitism. (…) And that is highly unacceptable and dangerous.” Such statements, coupled with his inherent modesty, make the son of a butcher from Eimeldingen an extraordinary person who consistently uses the big football stage to take a stand. All of his colleagues would also have this opportunity, but unfortunately they rarely take advantage of it. How lucky that Christian Streich exists.

Bundesliga Matchday 11: Leipzig vs. Freiburg – Baumgartner’s Substitution Leads to Victory

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com November 12, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

As of: November 12, 2023 10:26 p.m

After an early lead, RB Leipzig seemed to lack the necessary strength against SC Freiburg. But then came substitute Christoph Baumgartner, who led his team to a 3-1 (1-1) victory in the final quarter of an hour.

“We deservedly won the game in the end,” Baumgartner cheered. He saw the personnel changes as crucial: “Of course the fresh players did us some good. The game was on a knife’s edge at that point.” Freiburg’s goalscorer Merlin Röhl said: “It’s a shame how it went. We could have just as easily scored the decisive goal in the decisive phase when Leipzig struck the blow. It was equal.”

Both teams started the game with momentum

Both teams started the final game of the eleventh Bundesliga matchday on a high note. Leipzig secured a place in the Champions League with a hard-fought 2-1 win in Belgrade during the week, while Freiburg defeated the Serbian team from Topola 5-0 in the Europa League.

Xavi irresistible – Leipzig in the front early

Leipzig in particular seemed inspired. It took less than six minutes for coach Marco Rose’s team to be in the lead. Xavi stole the ball from Freiburg’s Lucas Höler in the opposing half. The Dutchman took a few more steps and shot the ball from a good 20 meters into the far corner – 1-0 (6th). To the live ticker: Leipzig – Freiburg Arrow right 11th matchday Arrow right Leipzig stuck with it, remained superior and pushed the SC vehemently onto the defensive. After a good 20 minutes it was almost 2-0: The hard-working Lois Openda got into a good finishing position on the right side of the edge of the penalty area and aimed for the left corner with his right outer instep. SCF goalkeeper Noah Atubolu stretched himself out and barely steered the ball around the post with his fingertips.

Freiburg rebels, a goal doesn’t count

Freiburg has developed into a team with high Bundesliga standards for some time now. This became apparent when the opponent’s intensity decreased after a good half hour. The SC recognized and took advantage of this immediately – now attacked in turn. After 35 minutes the ball was in the Leipzig net, Kilian Sildillia had scored and scored. Alone: The Freiburg wing player was one step offside when Maximilian Eggestein’s previous long-range shot. The hit didn’t count.

Röhl sensationally made it 1-1

But the compensation was only postponed. Merlin Röhl started an almost irresistible solo run in the 45th minute, in which he ultimately made Lukas Klostermann in particular look very old. From 15 meters he shot the ball brilliantly into the far corner – just like Xavi did on the other side. It was 1:1 at the break. And Röhl had his first Bundesliga goal to his name. Freiburg had a draw at the break and almost took the lead after the break. Vincenzo Grifo had set up Noah Weißhaupt on the left with a wonderful interface pass. Höler converted his cross in the middle to make it 1-2 (56′) – but here too the linesman’s flag was rightly up. The cross giver was just offside.

RB save substitutions

The people of Leipzig now seemed to be running out of strength. In particular, the offensive around the lively Xavi was barely able to put itself in the spotlight. Freiburg became dominant. RB coach Rose tried to counteract this with a three-man substitution (70′), but his team didn’t really dominate. But there was still room for celebration: Substitute Christoph Baumgartner was hit on the right foot by Grifo in the 78th minute – because it happened in the Freiburg penalty area, referee Patrick Ittrich had no other choice: a penalty. Lois Openda made it 2-1.

Baumgartner decides the game

Barely two turns of the pointer later, the game was decided: after a Leipzig counter, Baumgartner had a free shot on the right. His 16-meter shot was deflected into the near corner – 3-1 (80′). The substitute almost single-handedly decided the game for his team.

Leipzig against Wolfsburg, Freiburg welcomes Darmstadt

RB Leipzig will face VfL Wolfsburg on matchday 12 (Saturday, November 25th, 2023 at 3:30 p.m.). Freiburg is challenged against Darmstadt at the same time.
