The question was addressed to Schalke's coach Frank Kramer, but then his Cologne colleague Steffen Baumgart jumped to the side of Schalke's midfielder Rodrigo Zalazar. Baumgart took the floor when asked whether his provocative jubilation after the ultimately disallowed goal in the 1: 3 in Cologne was unnecessary. "Sorry that I straddle in between," said the Cologne coach: "But guys, the boy cheered and he was also whistled at."
Baumgart advised the journalists: "Stop paying attention to such things. We don't have to make a story out of it. We don't have to write about that shit. Let him cheer, that's football." Kramer had previously replied that the Uruguayan was "euphoric and emotional": "You sometimes do things that you would do differently afterwards. But I didn't see it, I cheered myself."
The goal would have been 1-0 for Schalke and Zalazar's first Bundesliga goal. It was disallowed because Maya Yoshida blocked the view of FC goalkeeper Marvin Schwäbe in an offside position.
