Freiburg coach Christian Streich is preparing his team for a challenging task ahead. SC Freiburg is set to play against Mainz 05 on Sunday, and Streich believes that it won’t be an easy game. Despite being five games unbeaten, Mainz has celebrated four home wins in a row, which makes the Rheinhessen team more dangerous for Freiburg.
Streich is concerned about coach Bo Svensson’s team, as their intensive and aggressive style of play can cause problems, especially for tired Freiburgers. Streich warns his players that Mainz will hit them with full force and that they want to eat them up. He emphasizes the need for his players to be fierce and fight back.
Svensson, on the other hand, is confident that his team will perform well, especially with players like Ginter, Günter, and Gregoritsch in top form. The Freiburg stars that Svensson named will most likely be on the pitch in Mainz, especially Christian Günter, who is the team captain.
Streich plans to refresh his team, and it’s possible that four, five, or six other players will be on the pitch. One of them will be Vincenzo Grifo, who is pushing back into the starting eleven after his surprising bench place against Juventus. With Maximilian Eggestein and Manuel Gulde, both of whom were forced to play only 45 minutes on Thursday, Streich has at least two other Juve starters reasonably fresh with him.
However, main defender Philipp Lienhart threatens to miss out in Mainz due to thigh problems, which could make the task even more challenging for Freiburg. Despite the challenges, Streich aims to take something with them in Mainz, and a single point could make all the difference.
In conclusion, Streich and his team are preparing for a tough game ahead. Mainz is in excellent form, and their aggressive style of play could pose problems for Freiburg. However, Streich believes that his team can fight back and get something out of the game if they pool all their strength and fight fiercely.
