Cologne - Finally! The FC comes out from the basement. Not yet in the table, but at least comfortable ...
EXPRESS learned: The professionals soon move to - and share their stuffy cabin at Geißbockheim against modern and larger premises!
Confirmed FC president Wolfgang Overath: "The situation we have already known for some time. We know that the cabin is not exactly optimal. There is little natural light in the cabins, there is a lack of fresh air. We want to improve, have already instructed an architect to ensure that the team comes into the floor upstairs. "
It is about time. In the squat, dark booth for the Kit manager and player of the stay simply a horror. The Dieter Trzolek Physios to have the "hole" (the internal cabin name) is also small space. Professional conditions are different.
Scolded FC hero Lukas Podolski will also have on his return that has improved since his departure in 2005 is not the situation in the catacombs.
On the other hand, we have the staff of the office by the new building just a new, modern, luxurious offices. Zvonimir Soldo even says: "Down there you'll get depressed." He has therefore pushed the matter.
"I've already seen the plans of the architect," he says, "well, that is the club. The players must feel their job well. You need room for diversion. Beds, more space. "
The players hear the like! "A good decision of FC that we get out there" finds Captain Milivoje Novakovic, "down to the basement no sun comes in, no fresh air. That says it all. "
By the way wanted: Move Soldo and his troupe had last week. The coach had considered after the debacle of Hamburg, a short-hold training camp in Bitburg. Only away from the "hole" through the stench and darkness "shines". "But," Soldo, "by the six national teams from shutdowns to a training camp would have been counterproductive."
