Where is FC Rheinsüd Köln headed?
District league, season 1: FC Rheinsüd Köln started the season very badly and is clearly at the bottom of the table. Where can the journey go for the people of Cologne?
Basically, a team can hardly start a season much more bitterly. Of the FC Rheinsud Cologne has zero points after three games and a goal difference of -10. The sometimes very significant defeats at the beginning of this season raise the question of whether the Cologne team are only in a small form slump or whether they really can’t keep up.
That FC Rheinsüd shouldn’t be able to keep up can’t really be the case. The preparation with victories against state and district league teams went far too well for that. And also the success in the district cup against league competitors Red-White Ahrem proved that Rheinsüd can win victories. In addition, FC was probably sovereign last season and made it clear that they stayed up by some distance.
In the league, however, it now seems as if a switch has been flipped. On the first day of the game, there was a clear 0:3 defeat against the SC West Cologne. The SC was still next to FC Rheinsüd in the table last season. The 1:3 defeat against them is definitely justifiable SpVg Flittard in the second game of the season. Flittard started the season really well with a new coach and partly a new team and is definitely one of the promotion favourites. Rheinsüd even took the lead against SpVg, but could no longer withstand the pressure around the half-time break.
The past week was probably the most bitter of the season so far. During the week, Mann failed in the district cup first with 0:5 at the national league Green-White Brauweiler – not necessarily unusual given the difference in a league. It was different in the duel against him SC Blue White Cologne. The blue and whites had only one point from two games, but shot down FC Rheinsüd 6-1. André Koch only scored the consolation goal shortly before the final whistle.
