The FC Koln manager has showered praise on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SC-Freiburg-c40462 boss Christian Streich ahead of the league clash between the two sides.
The Cologne based club is fighting for survival with just two games remaining in the campaign. The Billy Goats are currently in 16th place with 30 points from the 32 games played thus far and are in desperate search of a win.
On the other hand, Freiburg have been in sensational form since the arrival of Streich and are on a nine game unbeaten run in the Bundesliga. The manager has lifted the side from the bottom of the table to 13th place now and has ensured that the team plays in the first division next term also.
Schaefer has hailed Streich’s impact on Freiburg and has insisted that the manager has done a brilliant http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 since taking over. He claimed that the tactician has breathed new life into the side and the team has shown that they can win against any team in the league considering their performances recently.
“You can only take your hat off to the job he has done. But despite all of the pressure, we go into this game full of optimism. Our team has realised what things are necessary to be successful. We now have two final matches and we will go to Freiburg to win. I would like to help Cologne to stay in the Bundesliga with all of our strength and concentration,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
Streich, on the other hand, is targeting all three points against a struggling Koln team at the weekend. He added that the opposition has been under immense pressure and Freiburg can take advantage of the situation to grind out a win.
“Cologne are under immense pressure and fortunately we aren't any more, but the lads still want to show that what they have achieved is no coincidence,” he added.
SC Freiburg will host FC Koln at the badenova-Stadium on Saturday, April 28. A win for the Billy Goats will keep them on the 16th place but a loss can put them down in the relegation zone if Hertha http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Berlin-c7536 win.
