SC Freiburg lead the Bundesliga after three matchdays, and coach Julian Schuster has revealed the secret behind their success. Schuster attributes the perfect record of three wins and nine points to the ongoing generational change within the squad.
The manager discussed the changes in an interview. This process is a central part of the next chapter under his leadership.
The numbers support Schuster's view. With ten goals scored and only one conceded, Freiburg has the best goal difference in the league. Top scorer so far is Igor Matanović with three goals. The most recent demonstration of their strength was the 5-0 thrashing of Borussia Mönchengladbach last weekend.
The next test comes on Saturday with an away fixture against Eintracht Frankfurt. Frankfurt currently sit in ninth place. The current league table and detailed team statistics are available under standings and stats.
For Freiburg, the task is to extend their run of five consecutive wins and defend their position at the top. The away match in Frankfurt kicks off on September 19.
