Insights planned to the challenges planned for the 1. FC Köln

difficult training conditions for 1. FC Köln

The training camps of 1. FC Köln are currently not a good star. On Tuesday, February 9th, the difficulties began 90 minutes before the planned training. The trainer Gerhard Struber and his team entered the training area in Bad Waltersdorf, Austria, only to determine that the space was significantly impaired.

cause: the influence of Jose Mourinho

Special attention is paid to the use of the main square, which was previously heavily used by Fenerbahce's coach Jose Mourinho. Mourinho trained with his team from July 3rd to 13th in Bad Waltersdorf and carried out several units, especially sprint exercises. Such exercises can significantly strain the lawn, which now has significant consequences for the Cologne team.

reactions and assessments of FC management

Christian Keller, managing director of 1. FC Köln, commented on the problem of the lawn and initially praised the sports facility, which was in perfect condition until his last visit. "Unfortunately, Fenerbahce's training camp has worsened the places a bit. Nevertheless, solid training is possible without risk of injury," emphasized Keller. Nevertheless, it should be noted that the rescheduling and use of the side places make preparations for the new season difficult.

criticism of fans and dissatisfied conditions

The situation is not only unhappy for the players. The approximately 300 fans who traveled with them also feel the negative effects of the circumstances. After the first training session was canceled on Sunday due to a late flight, the fans are now forced to watch from far away because the training takes place on the side places. For many supporters it is disappointing not to experience the team more closely.

conclusion: the importance of the training camp for the season preparation

The current challenges in the training camp represent an important aspect for the preparation of the 1. FC Köln for the upcoming season. The lawn problem and the need to change show how crucial optimal conditions are for successful preparation. It remains to be seen how these difficulties will affect the team's performance during the upcoming games.
