Cologne (AP) - coach Markus Gisdol from Bundesliga soccer club 1. FC Köln has shown great appreciation for his counterpart Christian Streich from SC Freiburg.
"In my opinion, they have the best coach in the league," said Gisdol before the duel between the two teams on Saturday (3:30 pm) in Freiburg.
“He doesn't let himself drift.
He does his thing with his team.
That is always remarkable. "
In general, the Cologne trainer seems to be a bit jealous of the calm environment in the Black Forest.
«That is a key to their success.
Many clubs can learn a thing or two about this, ”added Gisdol.
The 51-year-old reacted slightly irritated on Thursday to the criticism of Cologne's 0-1 defeat against FC Augsburg last weekend.
"We mustn't let ourselves be carried away by the result, we have to analyze objectively," complained Gisdol.
«It was a game on equal terms.
We have clearly gained stability in defense. "

But this was at the expense of the offensive.
This now has to be "improved bit by bit".
After 14 match days, FC are just one point ahead of relegation rank 16 with eleven points.
Cologne's sports director Horst Heldt could understand Gisdol's praise for the work in Freiburg and described it as “a kind of benchmark”.
With reference to the calm Freiburg environment, Heldt also noted: "Not every location and every club is comparable."
