He wants to but in any case. Special arrangements he has not even taken. "A security we certainly have not committed and not even our windows barricaded," said Yvo.

Soldo without victory

Cologne - Tristesse on Geißbockheim. Hardly a fan wanted to see on Monday Schalke losers in a pub, no one asked for an autograph.
Instead, camera crews and reporters, the machinations of a question: How long can Zvonimir Soldo still lose?
The worst season start in 17 years (at that time had the FC with Jörg Berger after five games is also just one point) is perfect for the 1:2 against Schalke. And Cologne radioed SOS: Soldo without a victory.
Worse is not a new coach at FC Cologne gestartet.Ganz football question arises: Is rookie coach Soldo with this heavy launcher and the difficult job the right man for the way out of the cellar?
Can he say in his soft voice, his charming, nice, but often uncertain occurrence in the shark tank really Bundesliga? Even making the first names of the candidates follow-up round, like ex-96 coach Dieter Hecking, and especially Hans Meyer.
Where Hecking, who enjoys high reputation in the club head, is more likely for long-term development work, Meyer for short-term rescue.
"The entire Board was of the opinion that we have found the right person with Soldo. And we are even now of this opinion ", pushes manager Michael Meier," the coach has our full confidence. "
 The mood in the team but is subdued. After Schalke Lukas Podolski to bankrupt one saw while walking into the garage to the stadium's naked frustration. Also on Monday ruled in the cabin at Geißbockheim feeling of doom!
In several of indiscipline Wome (a call during a game on the bench) and Ishiaku (delays) Soldo also failed to show toughness - even in public. Petits lack of fitness will be covered for weeks for lack of alternatives.
Now all are waiting for an idea of the coach. But the training camps rethought Soldo rejected again on Monday, after it had already been at the weekend his bravest move, change the jersey color ...
Instead, on Tuesday - as after the Hamburg-bust - the error from the Schalke game are analyzed by video. Suggestions to modify the training something that rejects the Croat. The expensive mountain bikes around, the predecessor of thumb (by the way: even 5 games, but with 5 wins anschaffte Fenerbahce) to pop out after practice, gathering dust in the catacombs of the goat home.
 But, the season is still young - and the coach can still rumreißen the helm! Meier: "Soldo has survived as a player so many pressure situations. He knows what he has to deal with it. "But the young coaches need wins - and fast.
"We were lucky enough to leave. And this is part of football, "implores managers Meier," there are things in this sport beyond the ring. Against Schalke, which was also very unlucky. "
However, a question remains: How many times can Soldo still lose? Often, certainly not more, because the makers of the club now is it already hard enough to put her unsuccessful head coach novice to the public in a favorable light.
