The score was finally settled at 3-0, and Freiburg remained unaffected under pressure, continuing to maintain the chase for first place and the advantage for third.
The fact that Freiburg's Grifo and Sunset were in good form in the competition was also a hot topic after the game, and it was widely believed that this was a double-edged sword, and if Streich could grasp it and steer this competition into a healthy competition, Freiburg's rush to the first place would be very promising. However, if this competition is not grasped well and it turns into a conflict, it cannot be ruled out that the consequences for Freiburg's good points situation will be disastrous.
On this premise, most commentators agree that Streich should keep Griffo at the heart of the game for at least this season, and that Sunset should be Freiburg's future rather than the present. Even Crawford, who has always been the most supportive of Sunset, has publicly stated in media interviews that Sunset's physical fitness and body are not enough to cope with the Bundesliga. The best way to use him is to position him as a substitute for Grifo, and then just wait for Sunset to mature, at which point Sunset will be able to lead Freiburg further.
Streich, Wosler, Patrick Beyer, strength and conditioning coach Simon Ikkert and tactical coach Timo Jankovski were also gathered in their offices after the game to discuss the issue.
"Before we get into that, I want you to take a look at this fitness monitoring report."
After Streich offered to discuss the positioning and arrangement of Grifo and Sunset, Fitness Coach Ikt first distributed a fitness monitoring report.
The fitness and physical condition of the players has been monitored by the team, not only to arrange the lineup every week and hand it over to the coaching staff for reference, but also on the side of the fitness coach and team doctor even on a daily basis, and everyone is not very clear about what Ickert means.
"If you look at the fitness changes of the players, after these games, our players are in better shape than they were in the same period."
Seeing that everyone has not yet figured out what they mean, Ickert explains:
"Please compare Yu's playing time with the physical curves of the players... I haven't found a connection yet, but I think Yu's appearance has something to do with the improvement in fitness. ”
Yankovsky was the first to react and gestured to open his mouth:
"I can explain that. Take a look at Sunset's percentage of dangerous balls converted into goals, as well as the success rate of passing and receiving. His passing was more reasonable, reducing ineffective runs from his teammates, and it was understandable that his teammates were getting better. ”
As the first assistant coach of Wasler, he had the power to lead the conversation without Streich speaking, and he nodded and said:
"Sunset's ability doesn't need to be discussed, we're talking about how to position Griffo and Yu this season, how to allocate playing time, and how to manage their relationship."
Assistant Coach Bayer followed suit:
Sunset has proven his worth and has no problem being the core of the team in the future. What we need to think about is this season, and I don't think it should affect the harmony in the dressing room and then our promotion situation because of the sunset. ”
Bayer is clearly on Grifo's side, believing that this season cannot affect Grifo's status and thus the team's results. Wasler, Sunset's number one supporter on the coaching staff, reacted the quickest and immediately objected to Bayer's opinion:
'I don't agree, Yu didn't become a dressing room problem, he didn't show dissatisfaction with the substitutions, and it wasn't a matter of whether the two of them could coexist on the pitch, I think it was Grifo who had fitness or form issues and Sunset came off the bench and vice versa. It's a good thing for our bench depth, not a problem. ”
Streich did not let the two assistants get into an argument, and spoke:
"If the status quo is maintained, then today's discussion is not necessary at all. I think the relationship between the two players, the relationship between this season's results and the future of the team, these trade-offs are really what the ceiling Sunset can achieve in the future. If Sunset's future is another Griffo, I don't think there's any need for this discussion, and whether he's emotional or not, we're going to have to make sure that Griffo's state and mood are the first thing. But what if Sunset is a Reuss, Gotze-caliber player? And his commercial value and age are also very advantageous, can we even sacrifice a season's results in order to develop him? And I don't think Sunset's more time will necessarily affect the results. ”
Although Streich's words are inconclusive, his implication is that even Sunset's number one fan, Wosler, is stunned, which raises Sunset's position too high, right?
Beyer looked stunned and speechless, and Wosler was the first to react:
"Coach, do you think Sunset's future is worth sacrificing our season prospects? I'm not questioning you, but it's amazing..."
Vosler considers himself the most supportive of Sunset on the Freiburg coaching staff. Unexpectedly, Streich, who had been observing and examining Sunset, and had shown distrust of him for a certain period of time, actually thought even more exaggeratedly, and Wosler stuttered a little.
Streich was not surprised by the reaction of his assistants, and calmly replied:
"As I said, using Sunset doesn't necessarily affect the results, what we need to think about is Sunset replacing Franz and Hefnagel, not replacing Griffo for the whole game, gentlemen."
This idea made the members of the coaching staff suddenly, so that with Sunset playing in the second half, Franz, Huffnagel and others playing the first half, it is indeed not necessarily affecting the results.
"Gentlemen, our focus now is that Sunset doesn't have what it takes to surpass Griffo. Ikter, Dr. Oster, Sunset's physical condition is fine, right?"
Ikt replied without thinking:
"No problem. Yu has a good physical foundation, and as long as he keeps training systematically, we think he can meet the fitness requirements of the Bundesliga, and I think his speed can be improved. And we don't have to worry about his training attitude, can we?"
Streich nodded in agreement and turned to look at Yankovsky.
Yankovsky was still expressionless, but his eyes were blazing:
"Yu's big-picture vision and adaptability are fine, and his tactical understanding has exceeded my expectations, and his movement and passing on the pitch is not only reasonable, but also can be adjusted according to the course of the game. It is worth noting that he not only has good tactical ability, but also promotes the team and players. ”
Wasler didn't expect his views to have so many supporters on the coaching staff, so he simply smiled and didn't speak, and his appreciation for Sunset was usually not hidden, but now that he didn't look at it as crazy as his colleagues' expectations of Sunset, he simply stopped talking.
Bair was choked by the audacity of his colleagues, but his admiration for Griffo made him unable to refrain from speaking.
'Coach, I insist that this issue is more appropriate to be determined after the season, and if you think about next season we will deal with the Bundesliga, this issue should be more deliberate.
Streich nodded his head to indicate that he understood Beyer's point, and then began to introduce his point:
"We've talked about Sunset from a technical, tactical, physical, and seasonal point of view, so let me give you my opinion."
"I'm more concerned about Sunset's mental level, gentlemen. A player's mental level is more likely to affect his ceiling, which is Sunset's biggest advantage against Grifo. A player's psychological strength has a lot to do with his experience, a player's mental construction is formed from the beginning, and the mentality of a winning player is different from a player who has experienced ups and downs. I've learned more about Sunset's history, as he debuted at the Black Seamen Club in Uklan and has been a winner on the pitch, including being the top scorer of the U16s at the age of 14 or 15, and back in the top flight at the age of 16. I was worried about the level of the Chinese Super League, but after three performances, he proved that he can still be a winner in a high-intensity confrontation with Germany. Grifo's experience at Hoffenheim made him a little too anxious, and he was a little unbalanced in the face of Sunset's normal challenges. He can meet our needs without Sunset's option, but Sunset can be a player who can improve the whole team, so I think he's worth developing. Obviously, the Chinese club does not have this kind of awareness, otherwise they would never let go of this kind of player whose overall significance is far more important than the technical significance, and we got this opportunity, so I don't want to give up.
That's why I'm going to keep it up now, and I need Sunset to keep his winning mentality alive and start discovering his domineering spirit now, rather than letting his will squander in Freiburg. ”
After talking about the reason, Streich glanced at the assistants solemnly and made a request:
"So, based on this idea, please come up with your own plans to create our top stars in Freiburg."
