SC Freiburg: Defensive strong, offensive weakens - what's going on?

The SC Freiburg has been showing impressive achievements in the Bundesliga this season, despite the absence of Christian Streich. The team is fifth with 41 points under the new head coach Julian Schuster. These successes are primarily due to the stable defensive, which has remained without conceding for six games. However, statistics state that after 25 games, Freiburg has only scored 34 goals, which leads to a negative goal difference. An outstanding 5: 0 against Werder Bremen helped to improve the balance sheet, while the offensive still has improvement, such as laola1.at reported.

urgent need for action on the offensive

The two Austrian strikers Junior Adamu and Michael Gregoritsch have so far not been able to meet the high expectations. Adamu only scored two goals this season, while Gregoritsch and Lucas Höler have only contributed one goal each. The confidence in the offensive forces suffered greatly in Breisgau. In an interview with the "kicker", sports director Jochen Saier admitted that the search for a new striker should be declared the top priority in the upcoming transfer window. The effects of such an obligation on the future of the ÖFB duos have so far been uncertain, as is the Official website of SC Freiburg emphasized.

Contract details of the players are generally not published by SC Freiburg. Adamu came to the club in the summer of 2023, but quickly lost his regular place after a promising start. Gregoritsch, on the other hand, could not fall back on his previous form due to injury -related failures in the first four league games.
