The SC Freiburg Chronicle
Squad17 Dec 2035
Jürgen Krämer breaks a bone — 41 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 41 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Age has not caught Eren Dinkçi yet — 8.34
At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.34 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Eren Dinkçi in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at SC Freiburg this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Nobody wants to play SC Freiburg right now
3 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Simon Walde has one foot out of the door
Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around SC Freiburg they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Derry Scherhant falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Philipp Lienhart gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

SC Freiburg see off VfL Wolfsburg
Three points for SC Freiburg, 2‑1 the final word against VfL Wolfsburg in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Ninety minutes of Sota Kitano at his very best
