he must have had still somewhat of an important role for, uh, Kompany's team.

Yeah.

It, and it was actually a bit of a resurgence, uh, compared to the previous season where, um, I think last season it was 25 starts in the Bundesliga.

Um, the season before was at half of that, 13.

So you can see there that, you know, the season before that, there were rumors of him leaving the club as well and, and he had fallen out of favor very much so.

He was playing a more of a bit part role.

Last season was a bit of a resurgent, resurgence.

Well, you said you had some concerns, so, uh, what are they?

And what is their philosophy? Like, what, what kind of a club are they? I know German clubs tend to have, like, quite distinct identities, so t- what's Freiburg's?

Yeah, Freiburg are kind of, you know, they're the Black Forest club.

They, um, come from, uh, uh, a beau- it's a beautiful, uh, city, Freiburg, uh, close to the Swiss and French borders.

Um, and they, they played...

I, I went to their old stadium, actually, and they moved now to a sort of more modern arena.

But before that, the, the walk to the stadium, you were literally in just like a sort of normal neighborhood, uh, near a little river, near f- uh, uh, actually a, a forest, as it were.

And, um, they've always been quite a sort of consistent club.

Um, so, uh, is Schuster sort of seen as like the next in line maybe? Is he seen as another young coach who could go on to big things?
