Trois Reds Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Didn't TFC II cancel their season? If I was 16-18, and my growth depends on play time, of course I'd leave the TFC Academy this year. With the chance of playing time with say, York9 (I can't remember their names offhand) or Freiburg (Pellegrino), plus practice with stronger/older/more experienced players, it would makes sense to leave this year. That being said, congrats to Pellegrino. I hope it works out well and he gets playing time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matro25 Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 A little update on Pellegrino; he got promoted to Freiburg U19s at the start of this season and regularly starts for them. Will be turning 18 in March. I suspect he'll be a shoo-in for the U20s this summer. toontownman, Dominic94, Edgewater17 and 6 others 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Seems like pretty solid progression. He is a 17 year old who was a youth player for TFC 2 years ago. Then he got the move to Freiburg and played with their U19. Now with the second (senior) team. That is a nice trajectory. Good luck to the kid.

InglewoodJack Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Interview for Transfermarkt: https://www.transfermarkt.us/gabriel-pellegrino-meet-freiburgs-canmnt-talent-who-models-himself-after-frenkie-de-jong/view/news/417081 Says he models himself after Frenkie de Jong, training at Freiburg is so much more intense than at TFC Academy, and that he’s committed to Canada, he admires Osorio and Eustaquio. some statistics website projects him to peak as a slightly above average Bundesliga player using some metric I don’t quite understand, which is really encouraging for what it’s worth, but cool to see him getting a bit of hype either way. aredding77, Dominic94, Corazon and 18 others 18 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlantic Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) He's signed a new contract with Freiburg. Expectation is he will join the second side permanently in 3. Liga while getting some first-team training reps. Freiburg will be back in Europe next season and maybe even Champions League. Freiburg II have quite a lot of central midfielders but Merlin Röhl and Robert Wagner will likely step up to the first team next season or atleast go out on loan. https://www.instagram.com/p/Csl5lUZMAYG/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== edit: Just looked at 3. Liga standings, they can be automatically promoted or at the very least will go to promotion playoffs.

They have to remain at least two tiers below the first team. But yeah there may be a fair bit of turnover in the midfield so hopefully he'll get a good chunk of minutes PastPros 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footyeh Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Hopefully he can compete for some good 3. Liga minutes, would be great for his development in a much needed position. Freiburg will also play UEFA Youth League as a result of qualifying for Champions League so I imagine Gabriel will also play those matches which can be good.

Bigandy Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Just checking in on his progress. It seems hes getting some sub minutes in Liga 3 for the second team. I havent seen him get any starts though. Corazon, aredding77, Dominic94 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could arguably be our best CM as staq would be aging out while hes in his prime. Shway and Corazon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

narduch Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Doesn't appear to have been in the line up for any matches for Sudtirol since the loan. Why bother making the move if he isn't going to play?

I realize it’s a decent jump, he wasn’t a starter for Freiburg reserves in third tier, and we expect him to get minutes in Serie B, but if he’s going to be stuck playing u19 ball, you may as well call him back Edited March 9 by phresh narduch and Unnamed Trialist 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
