1. FC Köln’s Davie Selke is “in the mood to play here” – praised by the community

Came from Hertha on a free transfer

Attacker Davie Selke moved from Hertha BSC to 1. FC Köln on a free transfer in January – and after scoring his second goal in the “Effzeh” jersey in the 3-1 away win against Hoffenheim, he seems to have finally arrived. Thanks to the sense of achievement from the weekend, the relegation for the Domstädter is as good as sealed. Around 10,000 fans cheered for Cologne on site, and when Selke scored to make it 2-0, there were chants for Selke, who had often been viewed critically in the past.

“That means a lot to me. That is not a matter of course. I really appreciate that, it just makes me proud to play for FC. I really want to play here, right from the start. I think people see that I always throw everything in,” said the 28-year-old “Express” cited with a view to audience support. Selke definitely wants to improve his hitherto modest goal quota. He is a striker and wants to score. “It’s very clear, everyone knows that. To get such a reaction after the goal after the short time that I’ve been here is intense.”

The former Hertha, Werder and Leipzig professional is now part of coach Steffen Baumgart’s team. Thomas Kessler, Head of Licenses in Cologne, gave praise. “Davie showed again why we decided to bring him on for the winter. He doesn’t come from an easy situation either, and he hasn’t played permanently in Berlin either. We knew what kind of mentality he brings us. He’s just a guy who helps the team and if he rewards himself for it in the end, that’s even nicer,” said Kessler.

TM community full of praise: Davie Selke impresses at 1. FC Köln

Selke also receives a lot of positive feedback from the TM community. “That was a really great game from him. Claimed a lot and also won in the air. I hope he gets that performance a few more times in the last few games,” said CristianoRonaldo7. User “Menethil” also spoke of a “really strong performance” Selkes and found: “For me a strong transfer and I’m sure if we could have had him directly as Modeste’s replacement at the beginning of the season, he would already have around 10 goals this season. I’m looking forward to next season when he can start after a complete preparation.” For “E_Levve_Lang” he is “as a defender exactly the opponent that I absolutely didn’t want to have”.
