Soccer – Freiburg im Breisgau – Ailing offensive: who should score Freiburg’s goals? – Sports

Freiburg (dpa / lsw) – Maybe at SC Freiburg, jealous looks are currently going towards Portugal. While the Freiburg offensive has struggled in the past few games, the international soccer striker Luca Waldschmidt, who moved to Benfica Lisbon in the summer, scores reliably. He has five goals and two assists in seven league and Europa League games. The sports club has scored a total of six goals in five league games, half of them in the opening win in Stuttgart. So who should score the goals for the Breisgauer in the next home game against Bayer Leverkusen on Sunday (3.30 p.m. / Sky)? THE ROUTINIERS: The most reliable so far are SC scorers Nils Petersen and Vincenzo Grifo, who each contributed two goals and an assist. Petersen sometimes had a bit of bad luck with the finals and sometimes hung in the air because too few balls got into the penalty area. Grifo demonstrated his good shooting technique when hitting last Saturday in Berlin, but was not able to bring his risk with standards as usual. THE WORKER: Lucas Höler, second-best goalscorer after Petersen last season, has not been able to build on this performance so far. Although he has had the most active time of all offensives, there are only two assists on his personal account. Nevertheless, he seems indispensable for his coach because he is “very alert, well anticipated”, because he does not shy away from a duel and tirelessly unwinds a large amount of running – which is demanded by all strikers as first defenders at SC. THE AMBITIOUS: Roland Sallai started his third season at the Sport-Club with great ambitions and finally injury-free. The Hungarian international is always conspicuous, but not effective – and made a mistake at Union before conceding a goal. A goal and an assist are on his balance sheet. THE SOUTH KOREANS: Wooyeong Jeong and Changhoon Kwon were often substituted on in pairs and Streich attests that they “bring movement” – but nothing that can be counted has come out of them. THE NEW: That also applies to Ermedin Demirovic, who scored 14 goals and provided seven assists at FC St. Gallen last season. However, he only had five minutes of action (excluding stoppage time) in three games. “He still has to adapt to the Bundesliga,” said Streich about the U21 international from Bosnia-Herzegovina. “But he sees what he needs to improve.”
