Time has gone more or less like his previous career, only fast forward: after an initial reluctance, which shouldn’t surprise anyone, Daniel-Kofi Kyereh has established himself at SC Freiburg. The former St. Paulian has arrived in Breisgau.
Above all, the moment that many from afar believed to have been a failure was the final turning point for the 26-year-old. He had to fight in the 3rd division, in the SC second team in the 1-0 win against FC Ingolstadt, playing for 78 minutes – and without any complaints. His back had bothered him before, but those were a thing of the past and the door for Kyereh was open.
FC St. Pauli: Daniel-Kofi Kyereh held out in Freiburg
The Ghanaian international joined as a substitute in the Europa League match against Quarabag (2-1) and was also a starter in the following three games. He scored his first point in an impressive 3-0 win in Thessaloniki when he scored another former Kiezkicker, Michael Gregoritsch.
Freiburg sporting director Klemens Hartenbach said in “Kicker” that Kyereh was “a bit of a stranger” to his XI starting debut against Gladbach, Piraeus and the subsequent meeting in Hoffenheim were therefore “steps forward. “. According to Hartenbach, he shouldn’t stay that way: “You can definitely do better!” There is still room for improvement, especially physically and in terms of teamwork, Kyereh has already shown his technical skills with the Gregoritsch-Assist.

He’ll need it again on Friday. So the next highlight awaits Kyereh when the French national team take on Brazil. Early next week he will be in Spain against Nicaragua before Kyereh wants to continue his and the team’s trend with SC in six (!) English weeks. “It’s a fantastic snapshot,” he said of a real situation his former St. Pauli club can sadly only dream of right now.
