Goalkeeper -Patzer and Opportunities forgiven – SC Freiburg missed the victory at FC Bologna in the Europa League. But chief coach Julian Schuster sees a team that can grow.
In the end, pride predominated. A serious mistake by goalkeeper Noah Atubolu, awarded the best chances of winning – After the 1-1 (0: 1) at FC Bologna They were still satisfied at SC Freiburg. “That was very good,” said coach Julian Schuster after his team’s strong appearance at the Italian cup winner in the second Europa League game at RTL+.
SC Freiburg masters the “Challenge”
Schuster was “very proud”, he particularly praised the “way”, as his team played in the second half. Despite the deficit, she had “calmly and disciplined” on her chances, despite the deficit through Riccardo Orsolini (29.), without neglecting her own defensive. The game was “a challenge from which we can grow – we take that.”
Freiburg scores in Bologna – and must struggle with the exploitation of opportunities
The Freiburgers could have taken more than a more than deserved point that Junior Adamu secured with a confidently converted penalty (57th/after video evidence). “I’m satisfied, but there was also more in it, we had some chances that we could have done,” emphasized the scorer, who deserved a special praise from Schuster: with his commitment he “infected” and helped the “entire team”.
SC Freiburg was closer to the victory
In fact, the Freiburg, who had won against FC Basel on the first matchday of the Europa League (2-1), were several times close to victory after equalization. However, they repeatedly failed at the Poland Lukasz Skorupski in the goal of the “Rossoblu” – among other things the strong derry Scherhann (69.). Nevertheless: “The 1-1 is already okay,” said sports director Jochen Saier: “We showed a good, stable, very serious performance.”
And Atubolus Patzer? A shot from left wing Nicolò Cambiaghi flew the goalkeeper out of his arms again, Orsolini converted the rebound. “Maybe he was mentally already when he started the counterattack,” said sports director Klemens Hartenbach.
But Schuster did not want to go into this, especially since Atubolus couldn’t have clarified the ball before. “We had,” he said diplomatically, “a few options where we could have made better decisions”.
