Double packer Vincenzo Grifo showed his former club in the DFB Cup and makes SC Freiburg dream.
At least Vincenzo Grifo agreed with the lone caller from the stands. “Yes, exactly – for today,” said the SC Freiburg match winner in the middle of the “ARD” interview to the fan, who loudly called Grifo “the best” after the success in the round of 16 of the DFB Cup.
In fact, the offensive player was the decisive player in the surprisingly clear 4: 1 (2: 0) of the Breisgauer in the Baden duel at Bundesliga rival TSG Hoffenheim. With his brace, Grifo put the SC on the road to victory and played a key role in the fact that Freiburg can dream more and more of the first final in the club’s history.
First Grifo completed an exemplary counterattack (10th), then he converted a hand penalty (36th) against his former club. In the duel with his former teammate and former Freiburg player Oliver Baum, Grifo did better this time than almost six weeks ago. At 1: 2 in the league, the German-Italian born in Pforzheim failed from the point of TSG goalkeeper Baumann.
Grifo: “That’s what you play for”
“It’s not easy to stand in front of him because he’s just a good goalkeeper and has saved a lot of penalties,” said Grifo: “But I was pretty sure, and that’s why I’m happy.”
The prospect of further competition also makes Grifo happy. After all, there are only four Bundesliga clubs in the last eight teams. The chance of a trip to the final in Berlin is greater than ever after the favorites have been eliminated.
“That’s what you fight for, that’s what you play for,” said Grifo, looking at the two victories that are still necessary: ”The dream is huge, we’ll give everything for that.”
