Sport-Club Freiburg

The only trophy in the history of Freiburg is the German UEFA Cup won in 1907. This is Germany's earliest official football match, which began in 1903. Before 1993, Freiburg always hovered between the second and third division teams. In the mid-1980s, it even ranked 10th in the second division team. As a new team in the First Division, the inexperienced Freiburg team seemed to have not found the feeling in the 1993-1994 season when they first entered the First Division. Although they scored 54 goals at a lightning speed, their weak defense also missed 57 goals. Their strong defense and weak defense made the team win less and lose more. In the end, they only ranked 13th and almost returned to the second division team. Head coach Fink actively promotes the creed of "attack at all costs and let offense become the best defense." Funk's desperate offensive tactics were successful. Not only did they reach the third place in Serie A for the first time (the team's best ever result), but they also produced talented forwards like Cardoso (scoring 16 goals, ranking 4th in the scorer list). The emergence of the Freiburg team also injected a breath of fresh air into the dull German football world. The three Musketeers Spiess, Todett and Heinlich trained by the head coach Funk have all been selected for the German national team. From this point of view alone, Funk and the Freiburg team he coached can leave a mark in the history of German football.
