Freiburg (dpa) – Coach Christian Streich has sharply criticized the circumstances surrounding SC Freiburg’s appeal against the evaluation of the 1: 4 defeat against FC Bayern last weekend. “The only way you had to go because it was pushed to us, so to speak, because of this legal uncertainty, was to raise an objection,” said Streich on Friday after the Badeners’ protest was rejected by the sports court of the German Football Association (DFB).
Bayern played 12 for a few seconds in the Bundesliga game last Saturday as a result of a mistake made in substitution. Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann had criticized Freiburg’s subsequent protest against the match rating.
“Now it’s about getting legal certainty in such cases. Personally, I very much hope that there will be other procedural regulations,” said Streich. “It can’t be that there are three parties. Two make a mistake, no insignificant mistake. Which is not bad at all. Everyone makes mistakes. I make mistakes too. And afterwards the third party is the one who is then followed by certain people, sometimes being pilloried by those who made the mistakes. That’s an absolute absurdity. We heard that very closely.”
The legal system of the DFB “forced us to go where we had to go,” said Streich. “We were the only ones who got into this so-called no-fault dilemma. I don’t think that was very clear to some in some spontaneous emotional statements.”
Your active role was “extremely uncomfortable” for the people of Baden. “We are an eV Our board members are subject to a duty of loyalty – to employees, players, members and sponsors. This duty of loyalty must be followed because the board members are also personally liable. All of these points were obviously not taken into account by some or they did not understand what it’s all about.”
Freiburg accept the DFB’s verdict on Friday “because we’re sports people,” said Streich. Should there be other procedural rules in the future, one would have to say “there was something good about it,” said the 56-year-old. “For us, the issue is closed.”
