Cologne Baumgart is happy about fan

Coach Steffen Baumgart reacted with humor to the run to the tickets for the last home game of the Bundesliga club 1. FC Köln.

Allegedly, around 200,000 ticket requests are said to have been received for the game of the surprising European Cup candidate against VfL Wolfsburg on May 7th. "I hear this number for the first time. But then I have to say quickly, because I also need one or the other card. Maybe I will use my relationships as a trainer," said Baumgart with a laugh.

"It is nice that people trust us a lot," added the 50-year-old: "There may be a lot against Wolfsburg. It is clear that all Cologne residents want to be there." 50,000 spectators fit into the Cologne arena.

Before the game against Wolfsburg, the table seventh must survive at FC Augsburg on Saturday (3:30 p.m./Sky). The aim is to "score as well as possible in order to continue the new goal we have set."

Despite his replacement after a collision with his head with Bielefeld's Alessandro Schöpf, captain Jonas Hector can be there last week. And Baumgart also revealed his entire starting eleven. Only those who storm alongside Anthony Modeste is open. "Otherwise there are no reasons to keep something behind the mountain," said the coach, who wants to act with only one six after the failed Salih Özcan failed.
