Freiburg continues to craft their own remarkable story. Following an impressive performance in the quarter-final return leg against Celta Vigo, the German side has now advanced to the final four of the Europa League. For sporting director Jochen Saier, this achievement is no mere fluke, but rather a significant moment for reflection.
“This is something extraordinary, something truly remarkable. Reflecting on how our season began, the distance we’ve come, and the level we can perform at every three days now is simply amazing,” Saier remarked immediately after securing a spot in the semi-finals.
Now, as Saier mentioned, “the journey continues,” with “our sights set on it all.“
He also extended special commendations to coach Julian Schuster: “Julian is doing a fantastic job with the squad. To concede an early goal within the first 10 minutes, especially in this atmosphere, can lead to chaos.”
Will Freiburg charge towards their first title?
With a place in the semi-finals now assured, it begs the question: Can Freiburg actually secure the club’s maiden title?
While the residents of Breisgau are typically known for their down-to-earth nature, a palpable desire for more is certainly emerging.
When queried about the prospect of clinching the title, Saier was coy but made the squad’s aspirations clear: “When you find yourselves in the position we are in, naturally, you want to keep pushing and strive for greatness.
“This squad is something special, and I genuinely believe this could be a standout year.”
The club is also competing in the semi-finals of the DFB Pokal, where they will take on Stuttgart later in April.
