Soccer – Freiburg im Breisgau – Freiburg coach Streich regrets mini winter break – sport

Freiburg (dpa) – Coach Christian Streich would have liked a longer winter break in view of his own stress and that of the SC Freiburg players. “Ten days to breathe deeply and to clear your head would have been extremely important,” said the 55-year-old one day before the cup game at VfB Stuttgart on Wednesday (8.45pm). After the game, he can only give his team four days off over Christmas. Then the preparations for the next Bundesliga game on January 2nd at TSG Hoffenheim will continue.

In view of the corona pandemic and the international football calendar, a normal winter break was not possible, but that was “bad for the players and for us,” said Streich. In the future, coaches and clubs would therefore have to demand them. “You won’t come down in four days”. He had to inform his foreign players that they are not allowed to travel to their home country for Christmas due to the quarantine regulations.
