Abeg, make I gist you wetin dey happen for Bundesliga side Freiburg. Dis team wey dem sabi as Schwarzwälder dey jostle for their position for league. Dem just dey try find their balance after dem lose some key players.
This season don start with wahala, as dem drop their first two matches against FC Augsburg and 1. FC Köln. E no funny at all, but dem still dey jom jom for UEFA Europa League and DFB Pokal. Dem currently dey sit down for 9th place with 20 points – no be bad for team wey don face plenty wahala!
Last season, dem miss out on Champions League qualification by just small small, and now person fit wonder how dem go fit handle that level of pressure, but wey we go talk, wetin don pass don pass. Now, Dem fit just thank their stars say e no be worse.
Transfer market dey hot as dem don lose Ritsu Doan as leading goal scorer, but dem get new talents wey dey shine like Derry Scherhant wey don score five goals this season. Wetin we go just pray be say these young boys go fit carry the team for shoulder.
But no be all roses, oh! Injury dey plague some summer signings like Igor Matanovic and Philipp Treu, but Treu don start build him form back, enough to take the right back position. Matanovic dey struggle, and the whole plan no gree work as expected. No be easy for coach Schuster at all.
The right wing dey scatter since Doan waka, e don turn saga as players like Eren Dinkçi and Jan-Niklas Beste no fit deliver. If dem fit train goat join na, dem go fit get better result for that side! At dis point, even Anthony Jung fit try for that place sef!
No forget say dem still get some players wey don weigh dem down – like Max Rosenfelder wey need serious adjustment if he wan correct im game, and Nicolas Höfler wey don plan to put im boots for ground after 14 years. Na wow!
Na so e be for Freiburg, as dem gats face up if dem wan achieve more come later. Dem need LB, RW, AM to make balance dey show for pub. The gists no dey fly as usual – Saier and Hartenbach dey keep their plans very tight!
As we dey talk sey dem need reinforcements, make we dey watch out for how dem go stack the squad after winter break. E go sure say we go see another level of game from Freiburg!
