FC Cologne fights against Bayern: Coach Kwasniok relies on team spirit!
1. FC Köln faces an exciting DFB Cup game against Bayern Munich, which takes place on Wednesday at 8:45 p.m. Coach Lukas Kwasniok is optimistic but realistic and emphasizes that “a little bit of luck” is needed to defeat the favorites from Munich. This game is not only a challenge, but also an opportunity for Cologne to show their fighting qualities, as the record champions have not won a DFB Cup since 2020 and are still entering the game with a series of 13 competitive game wins. Yahoo reports that Kwasniok sees the support of the Cologne audience and the belief in success as decisive factors.
“We have to bring all the elements together to be successful,” says Kwasniok. His views reflect the reality that underdogs like 1. FC Köln must find alternative ways to be successful against top teams like Bayern Munich. With a talented player like Said El Mala in the starting lineup, Kwasniok sees the potential spark that could lead the team to victory. In addition, veteran Ron-Robert Zieler will line up as number one for Marvin Schwäbe in goal, which he believes will bring the experience and stability the team needs. Kwasniok praises Zieler as an important part of the team.
Fighting virtues and the importance of the audience
The anticipation of the duel is palpable in the Cologne camp. Coach Kwasniok emphasizes that it is important to live the fighting virtues and to know the audience behind the team. “Everyone has to be prepared to give everything,” he emphasizes. The atmosphere in the stadium could make the difference for FC Köln, especially in a competition as prestigious as the DFB Cup.
The questions that concern many fans are varied: Can FC Cologne survive against the long-standing dominator Bayern Munich? Will the players be up to the challenge? The game will be broadcast on both television and radio, which should ensure that every fan has the opportunity to support their team and watch it live. Kicker provides the details for broadcast and further information about the game.
So it remains to be seen whether FC Cologne can actually raise the white flag or whether Bayern will once again show the game that has made them so successful in recent years. One thing is certain - the Cologne fans will support their team loudly and do their best to carry the team to victory.
