After the early exit from the DFB Cup, there is frustration at 1. FC Köln. "Today it's really shit, both sportingly and economically," admitted the new managing director Christian Keller after the elimination on Saturday in the first round at SSV Jahn Regensburg. Keller had previously worked in a responsible position at the second division soccer team for many years.
"This game shouldn't go into penalties at all," said Keller, pointing to "five, six, seven" chances when Cologne should have scored the third goal "against an opponent who is fighting self-sacrificingly".
The first division team from Cologne temporarily caught up to a 0:2 in Regensburg, but then missed making it 3:2. The home side were then successful in the penalty shoot-out.
Goalscorer Anthony Modeste had to be replaced by Tim Lemperle in the 94th minute. He cannot play tomorrow, said coach Steffen Baumgart about the striker, who had problems with his pelvis. But he is not afraid that Modeste will not be there for the start of the Bundesliga against FC Schalke 04 next week.
