Tonight (8.45 p.m.) Freiburg in Bochum will be battling for a place in the semi-finals in the cup.
As great as the anticipation, the coach is also very concerned with the political situation in Ukraine.
The coach explains: “I only get very selective information about Ukraine. With the mass of images and what is rumored on the net, I try to deal with it in a very limited way. Of course it puts a lot of strain on everyone. It is particularly bad for the people in Ukraine. For the entire population of Russia it is catastrophic what kind of indoctrination is taking place there. I watched the Russian state daily news. It’s outrageous what kind of propaganda is going on there.”
He also draws a comparison to Trump. “How people lie, but we know that. It was the same under Trump in America.”
Despite the events, Streich thinks it’s right that events continue to take place in other places.
Streich: “Of course it depresses you, which certainly has something to do with the physical proximity, because there are also wars elsewhere. I think it’s good that we play football and have events. If we stopped doing that, it wouldn’t help us either.”
By the way, the SC continues in the league in Leipzig on Saturday.
