Steffen Baumgart (birthed 5 January 1972) is a German football supervisor and previous player who presently coaches 1. FC Köln.
It is a small step in the normality. On Wednesday, Steffen Baumgart experienced for the first time as FC coach the flair, which can develop around the exercise places on the Geißbockheim. Idyllically located in the Cologne green belt, this is not only a pilgrimage in good times.
At Baumgart, however, only 50, maybe 100 onlookers came. Much less so as it would have been from Coronaziten in a sporty similar positive phase of the FC.
Pandemic slowed euphoria
So far, Baumgart was not awarded to do the daily training work in this atmosphere. Due to the pandemic as a precaution from hygiene reasons, the club had to impose his supporters looking at the training place with a black film fence to prevent human beings.
Since Wednesday there is a free view of the Geißbockheim. Very much to the joy of the fans, which of course continue to consider the hygiene specifications. And also very much to the joy of Baumgart, even though it first declared with a wink: I wanted him (en look protection, note d. Red.) actually extended and that we complete this, because I'm such a guy ...
Of course, Baumgart is not, for which emotion is an essential part of his work, which is at the same time his passion. I'm happy too. Nice. Again something new, many people, much tell from outside - all good, explained the 49-year-old.
No bad messages
Baumgart was in a good mood, which was probably because there was no bad news from his professionals to the various national teams. All have come through well, all are healthy, registered the FC coach.
Further failures threatened now was not in Freiburg. There, in addition to the long-term injured JANNES HORN a duo is not operational: was already clear at the beginning of the week, that inner-back Timo Hübers (knee problems) will be missing, then attackers Jan Thielmann will not create after his illness until Saturday. Timo is not in the team training and get out for a while ago. This will take a little overall. At Jan Dasselbe, the coach put both on the default list.
Novum for Baumgart
In Freiburg, Baumgart will also experience the first time in its coaching career, which impact has a country game phase with numerous exhibitions for his team. I have the first time a team, from which so many people are on the way. Experience I do not have it, says Baumgart, who has so far in the Bundesliga only working on the SC Paderborn as a head coach.
However, in the face of the additional burden of his small steps, he does not care about the extra burden of his small steps. Of course, there are certain straps, but those are the boys used to go, said Baumgart, we have to be just looking, I like to surprise me again.
By the way: Ellyes Skhiri, one of the ten Cologne country tours, generates the smallest question marks at Baumgart, although he first played on Wednesday afternoon with Tunisia in Zambia (2: 0) 90 minutes in the World Cup qualifier. The mileage in the Cologne defensive midfield can not stop any point of view from a tree garden except for an injury. Thus, the coach explained with a smile: Ellyes would even run in the plane if he could, or take a bicycle with the plane. He's cupit. If he is healthy, we do not have to worry about him.
