Derry Scherhant discusses Freiburg's unbeaten start and his development

With seven wins and one draw in eight games across all competitions this season, Freiburg have enjoyed an unbeaten start to the 2026/27 campaign. Speaking exclusively to the Bundesliga, Derry Scherhant discusses his club's impressive start to the season, as well as his own development, having since made his German national team debut.

"I don't think we could've imagined it better," he started. "It's been a very good start for us.

The team's just working really well together. We also get on really well off the pitch.

Everyone knows our play, what they need to do. I think we're seeing that a bit.

We'll just try to build on it all." Swapping Berlin for Freiburg in July 2025, the 23-year-old discussed the difference between the two cities. "I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a big change," he said.

"It was a big contrast, but I wasn't the sort of guy in Berlin who got distracted much. I knew where my priorities were.

So, it maybe wasn't such a big change in some respects, but the whole environment is obviously different. You get used to it over time.

I really like Freiburg and feel at home here, even if friends and family are a bit further away. They still come to visit often enough and the whole environment in the team - from physios to fitness coaches and the team behind the team - is just really special here, and that togetherness has been passed on to the team." Making his Germany in the recent international break, Scherhant discussed the role that Freiburg has played in his development.
