A Cologne coach has never been without a win for longer than Markus Gisdol (51) and yet it is quiet at Geißbockheim. Sports director Horst Heldt (50) smiles away every coach discussion. An almost unreal situation that would be hard to imagine without the Corona crisis. But in the ghostly atmosphere, the mood at 1. FC Köln has decoupled from the results, our author finds in his comment.
Football is a sport that results, as the saying goes. Really? “Hold my beer”, Markus Gisdol could reply after the 1-1 draw at Werder Bremen and prove the opposite at 1. FC Köln. After all, he looks back on eight months in which he tried in vain to win a game with his team and only managed to get seven points.

The red lantern is only two meters away. And yet it seems as if the trainer is still sitting firmly in the saddle – at least there is still no sheet between Gisdol and his friend and sports boss Horst Heldt.
No signs of disintegration at 1. FC Köln
There are good reasons for this: the team does not show signs of disintegration, the coach keeps his nerve even in difficult phases and you can hardly blame him in his daily work.

And yet: Gisdol does not manage to remedy the individual mistakes, whether at the beginning of almost every game or in the inexplicable penalty epidemic with five penalties in seven games.
1. FC Köln: No game idea recognizable under Gisdol
In addition, there is the terrifyingly unimaginative offensive game of his team, a game idea cannot be discovered even less than a year after taking office. As a fan in a game in Bremen, you could ask your team for more than 90 minutes to park the bus in front of your own gate. In spite of all the self-praise: when viewed in the light, the performance on the Weser was once again a playful oath of revelation.
But Gisdol is allowed to continue, yes, it doesn’t even seem as if Horst Heldt is currently actively exploring the market for alternatives. The relationship between the two is close. But if the trend continues and no further victory is achieved, Heldt and Gisdol will not be able to avoid one thing in the course of the season: At least as far as the table is concerned, football will ultimately remain a result sport.
