Freiburg have reached the Europa League knockout rounds, the German Cup final, and even topped the Bundesliga table at times in recent years. Not bad for what many still consider a small club. How have Freiburg, under the guidance of beloved coach Christian Streich, managed to punch above their weight? And can you still call yourself a small club when you’re playing Juventus in European knock out games?

If Freiburg keeps this up they can be seeing regular Champions League spots in the next 2-3 years.
That manager looks like a legend
1:51 wait a minute, isn’t that Antonio Nocerino
Great video as always and respect to Freiburg 😊 we need more club like yours respect from Denmark.
Fluff "journalism" BS.
Great work! I had no idea Freiburg was such an amazing institution. I wish clubs like Freiburg ran some advertisement campaign in Asia.
Freiburg will change the game in Germany. With Doan they have a €100million player and with a good number of European tournament runs they’ll have prize money which will strengthen the cycle of challenging for the league. Can see clubs like Freiburg pushing Bayern into a European Super League. Freiburg really are that good.
How can you NOT root for them, the epitome of the underdog made good?!? Champions League here we come!!
Realistic
I am also big fan of SC Frieburg lots of love ❤️ from 🇵🇰 pakistan Murree city
Thanks for this video.
being in love with mediocrity, not an easy feat
I have followed Freiburg for a long time. It's not my first team in Germany, but I always found it very nice.
Their old stadium was beautiful because of its atmosphere, and the conifers in the background, I miss it a lot.
Kobiashvilli, Tanko, Cissé, Franz, Griffo… their new stadium has the people away from the goal and inside it has only the charm of its people.
His fans aren't very friendly on social media, but that doesn't matter to me.
Streich has been my favorite German coach for 10 years, I have grown up practicing journalism admiring his passion, his sincerity and courage. My appreciation from El Salvador, Central America.
Although he never reads it, I supposed. Thank you DW colleagues.
It's amazing to see a football club which has such positive values at its heart and which, as the report says, is as much about developing 'good guys'. This is all rather lovely.
baden is wonderful, prove me wrong.
