The day of truth




Köln - Christoph Daum Plush Hennes VII hugs and smiles in the lenses of photographers. It was during his first practice with FC on 27 November 2006. Daum on Thursday: concentrated, thoughtful, tense, easily irritated.
These questions go to me on the bag, "snapped the Cologne coach to a foreign journalist who wanted to know why the coach so little radiated optimism.
Hard to believe: between the thumb and the furious warm are just 311 days. Or 7464 hours. And in too many of those of the FC vergraulte even under the supposed savior his fans.
Day of Truth: On Friday against Kickers Offenbach is so much at stake. Daum knows this, even if he did not publicly the importance of the game still wants to hang artificially higher: "This is a three-point game."
It's about the future of the club. FC collected his third bust in a row, which is worn only once without Aufstiegszug Cologne. It seems the fragile formations FC extremely doubtful whether the team will once again get its act together. It is clear that the club achieves its goal not the fat years are over. The club could not lift such a high budget. A miss of the rise would also mean a failure of those responsible.
It's about the future of the coach. "The situation is tense, which annoys me most," Daum said yesterday. The trainer, who worked in the past few years only if top clubs would be a failure at "his club" in the 2nd League hurt. Not financially, but from the reputation. He is still far from throwing the scraps. And can the club's management dismissed little thumb. However: If the FC lose, the pressure would continue to increase.
It's about the future of the team. Daum can do what he wants: the consequences of his highly paid professionals are not, he betrayed and sold. Even now, are the first cracks in the coach-player relationship - even if not officially confirmed. A bankruptcy would potentiate everything.
On Thursday before the final practice president Wolfgang Overath and manager Michael Meier took the team once more into prayer. In the cabin, they stopped in front of the team a speech. Whether it's bringing what? After the game is 17 days break. Until 22 October, on to the Derby in Gladbach. Nobody likes to go into the break with a recent negative experience that would lead to the crash in the table storage (and a training camp?) After himself.
It's about the fans. For years, they have to suffer. Especially at home. In the past six months, there was only one home win (4-3 over Jena). The RheinEnergieStadion is certainly not a fortress: In about four years since the opening barrage were 25 defeats! If not, the change for the better, is also the very great credit of the fans once depleted.

Palma de Mallorca - 90,000 square meters of paradise, surrounded by a wall on one side, otherwise the blue sea. Six homes, two pools, romantic beaches - and its own helipad. That's "La Fortalesa", a peninsula near Pollensa in Majorca. Europe's most expensive property is currently the Hamburger Game broker Matthias Kühn (including close friend of Boris Becker offered).
