Cologne got a late point in the 2-2 draw against Union. Still, there is a lot of air at FC!
After the final whistle, coach Steffen Baumgart (49) is happy that Cologne will remain unbeaten at home this season. But shortly afterwards he takes on his own fans!
Baumgart at DAZN: “I think I’m still pissed off. When I see the emotions that this stadium can bring, I wonder why you can’t do that when you’re 2-1 down? Why do the boys have to worry that they will make a mistake? That bothered me a bit. “
The coach explains: “For four years in Cologne it was always about not playing good football. Now the boys are playing good football. And are you 2: 1 behind against Union Berlin, who by the way play internationally, and I have the feeling that the stadium doesn’t know whether to cheer or whether to cry. “
Baumgart’s clear demand: “We said we were going a way and I expect the way from everyone. This is something that annoyed me without wanting to offend anyone. I expect everyone – not just the team, but everyone – to develop. “
At the press conference, Baumgart adds: “I was disappointed at this stage. What did you hear in between? ‘Wake up’? I make my own thoughts … “
And further: “We have a very, very good and very, very emotional audience. but that is not the point. We go the way together, so you have to live with the fact that you sometimes fall behind and the guys make mistakes. That’s football. I stand in front of the boys. And if I don’t like something, I can say so because I think the guys do it well. “
A clear announcement to the FC fans, who are known for the fact that they often only know black or white. Just before the start of the carnival, there is a bang in Cologne …
