Freiburg (dpa / lsw) – Striker Nils Petersen from Bundesliga soccer club SC Freiburg is dampening expectations with a view to the new season. “It is of course difficult when you are eighth to say we want to be 15th now,” he told “Bild am Sonntag” a week before the start of the league at VfB Stuttgart: “But of course we are first of all concerned Leaving three teams behind us. It will be difficult enough. “
The departures of top performers Alexander Schwolow (Hertha BSC), Robin Koch (Leeds United) and Luca Waldschmidt (Benfica Lisbon) are “naturally a loss in human terms,” said Petersen. “From a sporting point of view, I don’t notice at the level of training that something has gone wrong,” said the 31-year-old. “In the game you have to catch this individual class first.”
Petersen said of his coach Christian Streich: “Sometimes I have the feeling that he has become a bit more relaxed and relaxed.” Shortly before the start of the season, however, you notice “that he tries to take our looseness a little when there is too much. We are already a very nice team, so it’s not bad that you can have this influence from outside. “
