SC Freiburg Bolstered by Two National Team Players
Hungarian Footballer Roland Sallai Scores Winning Goal for SC Freiburg in Bundesliga
Hungarian footballer Roland Sallai scored the winning goal in the 89th minute of the match against TSG Hoffenheim in a 3-2 win in the 18th round of the Bundesliga on Saturday. This impressive win was sealed with Sallai’s goal despite Freiburg being down to ten men. Meanwhile, fellow Hungarian national team player Attila Szalai watched the match from the Hoffenheim bench.
Sallai made a crucial impact in the game as he decided the match in the last minutes, securing the victory for Freiburg with a close-range header, and then converting the rebound. This was Sallai’s sixth goal of the season and his third in the league, earning him a spot in the top 11 on the Bundesliga website’s virtual game.
On Sunday, it was announced that Attila Szalai had been loaned from Hoffenheim to Freiburg. Szalai, a 41-time Hungarian national team player, had joined Hoffenheim last summer for EUR 14 million. However, he struggled to secure regular playing time, featuring in just 333 minutes in five matches – four Bundesliga and one German Cup. With this loan move, Szalai will be looking to gain more playing time and make a significant impact at Freiburg.
The confirmation of Szalai’s loan to Freiburg came after the report initially surfaced on Saturday by German sports journalist Florian Plettenberg. The team officially welcomed Szalai with a post on their social media page, which included a photo and the caption, “Herzlich Willkommen in Freiburg, Attila!” (Welcome to Freiburg, Attila!).
The Hungarian players’ performances in the Bundesliga have been making waves and attracting attention, as they continue to make significant contributions to their respective clubs.
