In addition to Matthias Ginter, Ritsu Doan and Michael Gregoritsch, Daniel-Kofi Kyereh has now made the leap into the starting eleven as the fourth new signing at SC Freiburg.

Most recently, the ex-St.Paulian also regularly scored goals.

This time, Daniel-Kofi Kyereh didn't unpack the wonderful flick-flack backflip like he did recently against FC Nantes.

After his goal for a 1-0 lead in Berlin's Olympic Stadium, Freiburg's new signing gave up the appropriate flying skills and instead thanked Ritsu Doan, who provided the assist: "I ran straight to him and there were many other teammates there, it wasn't like that anymore a lot of space," said the goal scorer to SWR Sport with a smile on his face, adding the team spirit: "The best goal celebration is the one with the boys. It was more important to me to thank Ritsu for the assist than a somersault close".

Flying high: Daniel-Kofi Kyereh from SC Freiburg after his goal against Nantes

Three goals in a row for Daniel-Kofi Kyereh


Daniel-Kofi Kyereh, the humble team player. With this mentality, he fits in perfectly with SC Freiburg. The 26-year-old's current series of direct goals is impressive: goal against Mainz 05 in the Bundesliga . Goal against FC Nantes in the Europa League . Goal at Hertha BSC in the Bundesliga . Three games, three goals by Kyereh. That's great and for him it's no coincidence: "You can see on the pitch that we all get along well. I'm happy that I can help the team with my goals and assists. That's my job as an attacking player and that's good too Fun," said the permanent goalscorer after the 2-2 win in Berlin, which means second place in the Bundesliga.

Before the season, St.Pauli's top scorer was hotly courted


Hamburg's outstanding top scorer had been courted by many Bundesliga clubs before the season, and the sports club was ultimately awarded the contract. And according to current impressions, Daniel-Kofi Kyereh made the perfect choice.

After a few weeks of adjustment and late substitutions, the Ghanaian national player (father from Ghana, mother from Germany) was able to play in the starting XI of Freiburg with better and better performances: "I feel very comfortable in Freiburg from the start," says the technically pleased experienced offensive player, who had moved from FC St.Pauli from the second division to Breisgau before the season, after the 2-2 win at Hertha about the successful integration. "In the beginning it was a bit more difficult with fitness," he reveals to SWR Sport, "but then I got the chance and knew that things would get better day by day and from game to game, that's what you train for every day".

Six games in a row in the Freiburg starting eleven


The fine footballer has been in the Freiburg starting XI since the sixth matchday and the 0-0 draw against Mönchengladbach, and he was also in the Europa League from the start in Piraeus and against Nantes. This is how things can continue for Daniel-Kofi Kyereh in Breisgau, for whom it was always a dream to play in the Bundesliga. Now - at least 26 years old - he has finally arrived via the 3rd league in Wehen Wiesbaden and the 2nd league in St.Pauli.
And after the next hit, the talented amateur gymnast is happy to show the audience the flick-flack backflip again. Because it's just so beautiful.
