The loses are huge for Freiburg if we take a look on the starting lineup form last Season. They lost their keeper Bürki to Dortmund, DEF Krmas to Kralove, MID Schmid to 1899, DEF Sorg and MID Klaus to H96, Mehmedi to Leverkusen and Darida to Hertha. This means they have to replace 7 players of their starting lineup. Additional left Riether to Schalke and 6 players more from second row the club. It is a big task for Coach Streich to build up a new and most important strong starting lineup.
Some of the players from last Season like Höhn, Höfler, Frantz and Philipp has to play an important role this Season. They are the guys who know the club well and should be the head of the team now, despite they are very young. The most important signing was Petersen who played already on loan last Season for Freiburg but they managed to get him from Bremen. Some of the 8 new players have their place in the starting lineup. From Bielfeld returns former keeper and talent Schwolow who has now much more experience and match praxis. He won the race against Klandt who came from FSV Frankfurt. Also new is DEF Kübler (SV Sandhausen) but he is not ready due to injury right now. This means that the defending row is build with well known guys. In midfield Höfler plays beside new signing Abrashi who came from Grasshoppers. If Coach Streich counts on Höfler and Abrashi is is very disappointing for captain Schuster who must begin on bench then. In midfield offensive is Grifp from 1899 a good choice who can create some and be one of the creative players from Freiburg. Kleindienst who comes from Cottbus is expected on bench due to slight injury he had under the week, also Kempf had some problems and on bench too. Also not available is Möller-Dähli injured.
The test matches were not as good as they prefer because they had some problems in the offensive play and were not able to score much. In 4 matches against Pauli, Spartak Moskau, Sandhausen and Malaga they scored only 1 time but conceded 4.
Nürnberg was in the same situation last year as Freiburg this time. They had to build a new squad after losing a lot of players. This time they lost only Pinola from their starting lineup what makes it much more easier for them maybe. Also the Coach is not new as last Season and they hope to come better into the Season as last time. They gave Weiler the opportunity to build up the squad he likes. With 7 new players the Coach got what he preferred. He wants two new back wings and with Sepsi (Mures) and Leibold (Stuttgart II) he got them but both war not available due to injuries today. In this case they need a new plan what brings Bulthuis in a very good position but Weiler does not like him much but he must set on him as he has no replacement anyway. Normally they want to sell him but at the moment it is difficult with the situation. On the other wing new signing Möhwald from Erfurt has to play this position but he is normally a midfield player and this is not the best position for him right now. Above the defensive row plays Behrens who came from Darmstadt and let Polak behind him as he must on bench because Weiler prefer more a system with 4-1-4-1 and only 1 central midfield player. The wings are Stark and Schöpf who can help Behrens if the situation is there.
From the other new guys is Kirschbaum the new keeper while Gislason (Kopenhagen) should help Burgstaller to get the lone attacker Blum in some good actions in front of the goal. Kutschke (Paderborn) and Sylvestr disappointed in pre season what put them on bench today.
In all their friendlies they did very hard and it was not so easy as they should have want it. Against Regio Team Schweinfurt they won only 1-0, the next team form Regio Jahn Regensburg 1-2 and Prag 0-1. Against Würzburger Kickers and Celta Vigo they played only 2-2.
