SC Freiburg: Streich questions about system and staff

Christian Streich is basically a follower of the old football wisdom Never Change A Winning Team . If it runs well, the Freiburg coach rarely exchanges his staff. If it runs bad, he likes to build around. Before the guest match on Saturday at VfL Wolfsburg (15.30, live! At football wisdom), the question of system and staff is not so easy.

The initial formation from the game against RB Leipzig (1: 1) would probably be available and did not make your cause bad. But it ran better in the second half of the game after string switched from 3-4-3 to 4-4-2 and had brought an additional attacker with Roland Sallai.

However, the Hungarian had to be examined after a blow to the knee in the 80th minute again from the field and beginning of the week in MRI. The result: Sallai is not serious injured - whether it is right for the game in Lower Saxony, but is questionable.

The chance for U-21 international pity?

So the prank must be determined: Does it familiarize the more stable 3-4-3 or the offensive oriented 4-4-2? In the latter arrangement, U-21 international Kevin pity could take over Sallais roll on the right wing. As in the last ten minutes against Leipzig.

In any case, a decision on the right-heavy position is on the right-hand position in both systems. Last debutant Kiliann Sildillia made his job well, Lukas Kübler could be an option after surviving sore throats again. Only Jonathan Schmid (residue to Covid-19) is missing with security.

Finally, it ran with the record start and eight games without defeat. Little reason to change for prank, you might think. But that s the second property of the 56-year-old: he is always good for a surprise.
