FC officials urge calm after the debacle

Coach Gerhard Struber from the second division football team 1. FC Köln would like to be more patient with his team. The devastating 1:5 at fellow relegated team Darmstadt 98 last Friday was analyzed very critically internally. Nevertheless, it should not be forgotten that FC would play with its “very young team”.

“There are waves in this team. We have a very inexperienced team,” said the Austrian before the next home game on Friday (6.30 p.m./Sky) against fifth-placed SC Paderborn. “We must not fall into actionism or a mood of mourning.”

Kessler: Experienced something completely different at FC

That’s exactly what was recently seen in the area around the relegated Bundesliga team. After nine match days, the promotion aspirant is only tenth. “I had a completely different experience at 1. FC Köln,” said Thomas Kessler, the head of the licensed player department.
