Steffen Baumgart was really angry – but the coach of 1. FC Köln did not want to publicly provide concrete reasons for the 1: 6 defeat at Borussia Dortmund immediately after the final whistle. I won’t go into details now. We got our ass full today, that’s just the fact, Baumgart said on Sky on Saturday. When asked what didn’t work, Baumgart answered after a long hesitation: Everything.
The FC coach responded with incomprehension to the Sky reporter’s question as to why the 3-2 win against BVB in the first half of the season didn’t work as a blueprint. Blueprint? In Football? I don’t know what your blueprints are, but I have no blueprints – especially not against a team like Dortmund, replied the 51-year-old.
When asked about the first Cologne striker’s goal by Davie Selke (42nd) to make it 1: 4 after four previous goalless games, Baumgart reacted angrily. If I start to be happy about a striker’s goal – that’s nonsense, that’s nonsense, he said.
In the next two weeks until the derby against Borussia Mönchengladbach on April 2nd, Cologne’s coach also sees himself in demand as a psychologist. You can already tell that the boys start thinking in one situation or another, said Baumgart: I’ve been asked twice and I have to give twice the answers.
