Thielmann also hits: Will Modeste get support at 1. FC Köln now?
Five players from 1. FC Köln scored a goal during the international break. In the club, however, with the exception of Anthony Modeste, the shoe pinches when it comes to goals.
Cologne – Jan Thielmann (19) is also still picking up his sense of achievement. At 4-0 the German U21 The right-footed player hit the final score via San Marino. Several players of the 1. FC Cologne during the international break in the scorers list of their respective national team.
Ondrej Duda (26), Dejan Ljubicic (24), Louis Schaub (26), Tim Lemperle (19) and now also Jan Thielmann: All of the players in FC scored at least one, if not more (Schaub, Duda) goals in theirs National teams.
Five professionals with one goal is a record that has probably never happened before at FC. And if so, then in the 70s or 80s.
The authorities at Geißbockheim would certainly find it even more pleasant if the professionals were also regularly successful in FC jerseys.
1. FC Köln: Last game against Mainz 05? There was something!
But of the five kickers mentioned above, only Schaub and Lemperle each have a hit of the season. For Duda, Ljubicic and Thielmann, on the other hand, there is still zero in the statistics for the goals division.
While Ljubicic, as an endurance runner and pressing machine, was not hired for the job as a goal scorer and has performed really well since he started working in Cologne, goals by Duda and Thielmann are actually planned.
FC youngster Thielmann started the season promisingly and gave up in the first game of the season Hertha BSC an assist. However, two illnesses threw him out of step for a short time, so that he did not die again in the form he had at the beginning of the season – at least until the international break.
The goal should give the outside player a boost in order to be successful in the Bundesliga in the game against FSV Mainz 05 (DAZN, 5.30 p.m.).
Because Anthony Modeste (33) urgently needs support despite his overform with eight goals this season, scored almost half of all goals this season (17 in total).
If this support fails, the billy goats’ game BECOMES increasingly one-dimensional and calculable. Especially since nobody knows how long the Modeste series will last, even the center forward can go away empty-handed.
Good for 1. FC Köln: National players with many positive experiences!
In addition to the French, only Florian Kainz (29) has a good season record with two goals and three assists, one of the scorer points.
The hope of FC trainer Steffen Baumgart (49) lies in the fact that the goal knot with the national team returnees has now burst and they also die so far not really successful Sebastian Andersson (30 / one goal of the season) and Mark Uth (30 / a season goal) in a positive sense.
