U21 of 1. FC Köln in Aachen with an important role in the relegation battle
Regionalliga West: The second team of 1. FC Köln plays an important role in Aachen in the relegation battle. Coach Mark Zimmermann did not agree with the attitude of his team in Wuppertal.
On Wednesday evening, the U21 contests the 1. FC Cologne a catch-up game in the Regional League West at Alemannia Aachen and plays an important role in the relegation battle. There are quite a few teams that keep their fingers crossed for the young billy goats: Alemannia is currently in first place in relegation and could leave it with a win. The SV Straelen would promote that to rank 16, but also on Bonn SC and the second team of FC Schalke 04 would pass Aachen.
The April form of Cologne, for which nothing special is at stake, should give little hope to those involved in Straelen, Bonn and Gelsenkirchen: There was only one point from three games, especially the 0:2 at Wuppertaler SV last Saturday gave coach Marco Zimmerman to think about.
Appearance in Wuppertal annoys Zimmermann
At the break it was 0:0 and after a good performance so far, FC had a majority ahead of them in the second half – but ultimately lost 0:2. “What annoys and shocks me is the arrogant behavior of my boys in the second half,” Zimmermann said afterwards (quoted via Reviersport). “The WSV clearly dominated us. There was simply a lack of attitude, there was no more aggressiveness in the second half. We’ve got a kink right now and will try to start there in the remaining five games, which will give us a chance before the Rödinghausen game made us strong. We went 13 games unbeaten. I don’t want to end the season like this.”

The FC juniors also have a little something to make up for when they go to Aachen and the Tivoli on Wednesday evening. But the opponent should not be forgotten, who has scored very well since the beginning of the year and ten days ago too Red and white food knocked off a counter. After the away win in Straelen, Alemannia now have their fate in their own hands and will do everything to stay in class.
