Freiburg (SID) – coach Christian Streich sees Bundesliga club SC Freiburg far from a top team despite the historically strong start to the season. “We are not one of the top teams. What should we have to do with Bayern or Dortmund?” Said the 56-year-old: “We are not always so good that we are in the top four in the end. How is that supposed to work with teams with these financial possibilities? “
The Breisgauer remained unbeaten for the first time on the first six match days, are in fifth place in the table before the away game at the ailing Hertha on Saturday (3.30 p.m. / Sky). “We have few injuries, we have good play history, the team is intact. If you are lucky and have few injuries, you can play a good season,” said Streich. But you can also “quickly” get into a “downward vortex”.
Above all, his team does not want to become the build-up opponent for a stumbling club against Hertha as it has in recent times. “We are not a prototype for building other teams,” said the longest-serving coach in the league. But no team “always gets 100 percent,” he explained: “If Bayern only play 96 or 98 percent, it’s still enough. It’s not enough for us.”
