Soccer – Freiburg im Breisgau – Freiburg goalkeeper Flekken criticizes the Europa League ball – sport

Freiburg (AP) – SC Freiburg goalkeeper Mark Flekken criticizes the ball used in the Europa League. “Balls are meant to score a lot of goals,” he said after Breisgau’s goalless draw in the Bundesliga against Borussia Mönchengladbach. “The ball flutters a lot more than the Bundesliga ball if the shooter hits it correctly. It’s not a gas station ball, but more and more goals should be scored. That’s how balls develop.” That makes things more difficult for the goalkeepers, Flekken said. “But we are also developing,” said the Dutch national team goalkeeper on Sunday.

The club won the Europa League opening match against Karabakh Agdam 2-1 on Thursday. At Olympiakos Piraeus in Athens, Christian Streich’s team will continue on Thursday.
