1. FC Köln: Podolski sounds the alarm - "It's about the existence of"

The chaos at the 1-week FC Cologne is still increasing: the fans of the Billy Goat clubs took to the barricades and made their displeasure about the crisis during a demonstration on Easter Monday loud air. They attacked the club's management and sided with coach Frank Schaefer, who declared in the past week are no longer as head coach for the new season.

That the situation at the Cologne after three consecutive Bundesliga bankruptcies more than threatening, it was also captain Lukas Podolski is no secret. "The last few games have been disastrous, and I want to sugarcoat anything and leave out phrases, but we must be clear that it is within the next three games to the existence of the club! And we must all stand together! If we now turn to each other Koeppe, we are lost.

It's all together, "said the striker to the Express. For "Prince Poldi" counts in the landmark Rhine Derby on Saturday (15.30 clock / Sky and League total!) Against Bayer Leverkusen only a victory anyway. "We need to remember the many good home games, we have made and Leverkusen beat," said the 25-year-old: "It is my dream that we make with a win against Bayer is a huge win for the league.

"The plant currently uses Leverkusen club from second place and can be a success in Cologne make participation in the Champions League next season perfectly. In contrast Cologne reinstated in the middle of a relegation battle, the distance from relegation in 16th place is only three points.

The outward appearance in Wolfsburg (1:4) on Sunday was dismal once more. As a "mess" the Bild newspaper dubbed the FC team. Despite the recent downturn of the 47-year-old coach Schaefer is among supporters but still very popular. "If our Schaefer mobbed, chased away the herd of the Wolf (gang)", was on a banner during the demonstration to read on Monday.

This was clearly in the direction of President Wolfgang Overath. "Bullying, no thanks. Board out! "Read other banners. Harsh criticism of the base, is currently also sports director Volker Finke put up, which is the cause for Schaefer quit. Like a mantra, however, stressed the Cologne guide, the authority of Schaefer have not undermined.

This was precipitated from purely personal motives, the decision to no longer continue as head coach. The recent defeat in Wolfsburg has also led to threats tasteless at the training ground. There stood on Monday morning read: "When you descend, we beat you dead" Podolski outrage: "They are not fans.

This has nothing to do with common sense. "On Monday afternoon, distanced approximately 200 participants of the fan-demo Schaefer Pro" by the threats. The followers away the embarrassing himself lube shops.
