Freiburg (dpa / lsw) - Despite the strong performance of SC Freiburg so far, sports director Klemens Hartenbach is still based on the relegation zone of the Bundesliga. "I still catch myself looking first at how Stuttgart, Hertha or Bochum were playing at the moment, for example. Maybe it's stupid, but it automatically works that way," said the 58-year-old in an interview with "Kicker" (Monday). . As second in the table and first pursuer of the German record champions FC Bayern Munich, the team of coach Christian Streich is currently on course for the Champions League. The Europa League round of 16 has collected 30 points from the previous 15 matchdays.
"It may be my personal problem, but I still see the current record as a total outlier," said Hartenbach. "I don't trust the peace yet. But not because of our team, but because I see a lot of other teams and I think that if the knot unravels here and there, we'll soon be caught up."
The Freiburg pros who are not at the World Cup in Qatar are currently on vacation. Training starts on December 5th. In the first competitive game after the long winter break, the Sport-Club is a guest at VfL Wolfsburg on January 21st.
