Before the duel with Leverkusen
Despite the crisis at 1. FC Köln, striker Davie Selke has full confidence in coach Steffen Baumgart. “The coach is coping very well, staying true to his line and sticking to the football he has always played here. How calm and calm he deals with the situation, despite being so ambitious, is remarkable. And we are all still 100 percent convinced of the path he is giving us,” said the 28-year-old center forward in an interview with “Sports buzzer“.
Cologne only have one point in the Bundesliga after six games and are bottom of the table. On Sunday (from 3:30 p.m. in the TM live ticker) there will be the Rhenish derby at Bayer Leverkusen, at the top with 16 points. Bayer is currently perhaps playing the best football in the league, said Selke. However, FC is not without a chance.
“I would like to remind you that Leverkusen was also in top condition in May and had not lost for eleven or twelve games. Nevertheless, we won back then. Derby is not a typical Bundesliga everyday life, but always something very special,” said Selke and added: “If I’m not mistaken, we were the last team to win in the BayArena. And that’s how we go into the game on Sunday.”
Guirassy continues to set himself apart: the top scorer list in the Bundesliga
After spending time at Werder Bremen, RB Leipzig and Hertha BSC in Cologne, he feels “at home.” I don’t know if I’ve ever felt so comfortable at a club after such a short time.” His Christian faith also helps him, although he has only had a really serious relationship with it for two years.
“And since then my life has changed fundamentally. At that time I felt that I was missing something, that there was an emptiness, even though from the outside I actually had everything, but only in a materialistic sense,” explained Selke, who goes to church every Sunday, “unless there is a Sunday game coming up , like now in Leverkusen.”
