The Japanese forward had struggled in the three games before the Bundesliga season started, failing to score a goal or get an assist. However, he's now looking to consistently put in performances of that level, having scored a hat-trick in the first match.
Freiburg have made a strong start to the season, winning all five matches in all competitions. Suzuki believes that the work done in pre-season and at the training camp is now paying off on the pitch. He's focusing on winning the two games before the international break, which will shape how the rest of the season develops.
The club's lack of huge financial resources hasn't held them back, with Suzuki attributing their success to staying true to their own style and continuing to develop. He believes that staying grounded and working hard is what brings success, and the team is now reaping the rewards of their hard work.
