1. FC Cologne: Baumgarts Mentality

It is a standard kit, the Steffen Baumgart repeated after every workout and every game so or similar: We have seen what was good, but also, not. The euphoria, which brought the victory against Hertha, registers the coach, the senses of fogging he does not leave her.

Baumgart knows about the risks that the offensive defending of the Cologne holds. Also against Hertha - certainly not the strongest opponent currently - decided in some cases a few inches, a few second fractions for the Cologne and they preserved before setbacks. Two, three scenes existed in which the guests at the center line were just before the breakthrough. Do not really sound a lot, but it was scenes where the coach of the breath was born and he will make on the subject in the analysis.

We played the first 20 minutes too restless.

Da sometimes did not agree with their own attacks between the players, so that they were a few times heavy for ball losses, the opponent then simply offered too much room in their own half, because the hedge of the attacking player was missing.

At these subtleties, Baumgart works with the team to make the compliment quickly and much of which after Sunday, it has learned what the coach wants. We played the first 20 minutes too restless, have long beaten balls, what we did not want, he roamed to just praise: The 1: 1 then came at the right time. Then the boys have fought in a fight and self-confidence grew. My team has always went on, then let the ball run calmer.

Hector: The coach has an idea

Baumgart will also have registered that the deficits in matters of allocation and compactness could be partially compensated by something, which is not (or too rare) to correct the repertoire of the Cologne - mentality and the willingness to correct errors. Not only the own, even those of the colleagues.

Jonas Hector, as expected as a left-distance nominated and there very stable, explained: The coach has an idea, not only footballery, but also of the mentality. He explained to us, if you get in residue, games Do not have to lose. We work on it. Even if there are setbacks, we want to continue playing forward.

Three times VfB, twice FC and twice the top grade: the eleven of the day
