Cologne (dpa) - Markus Gisdol will not be able to save his job in the long run with only zero numbers.
The 0-0 win against Hertha BSC gave the 1. FC Köln coach a little break.
The "step in the right direction" when Gisdol sold it was a tiny little at best.
So Gisdol can certainly still make the two trips into his past with FC.
If he does not score points this week in the duels with his ex-clubs at Schalke and in Hoffenheim, it should be his last games as FC coach.
"We mustn't drive ourselves crazy," said the 50-year-old, who had only received a job guarantee for the Hertha game from sports director Horst Heldt in advance.
After the 0: 5 in Freiburg, “the most important thing was that the score was zero,” emphasized the 51-year-old.
In this respect, his team has achieved the minimum goal.
But in the end it was a lucky home point in an overall bleak game against an equally unsettled opponent.
A break free looks different.
Especially since FC lacked any creativity and a game idea for the offensive was hardly recognizable.
And the numbers are alarming: 14 home games without a win are only one less than Tasmania Berlin once had to endure.
And the Bundesliga record for Hertha and Greuther Fürth (17 each) is not far.
In addition, there are more than five games or 485 minutes without a goal.
In 2021, the FC still had no hit.
That is why Gisdol is still under a lot of pressure when it comes to Schalke on Wednesday, one of only two teams still behind FC.
And four days later to TSG Hoffenheim, which is four points ahead of the Cologne team and still within striking distance.

Gisdol has a past with both.
At Schalke, he was the assistant to Ralf Rangnick and Huub Stevens from 2011 to 2012, before the then Schalke manager Heldt fired him instead of promoting him after the separation from Stevens.
In Hoffenheim he was first coach of the 2nd team from 2009 to 2011 and then of the Bundesliga team from 2013 to 2015, which he saved from relegation from relegation in 2013.
Most people in Cologne would be satisfied with this scenario this season.
But Gisdol tried to keep the pressure in front of the two games as small as possible.
“Too much is being interpreted for me,” he said.
And no preliminary decision either.
That's why we shouldn't put too much weight into the individual games. "
But they will be very important for his personal situation.
The colleague that FC wanted to bring before Gisdol in November 2019 is not in much better shape.
Because the 0-0 was not a breakthrough for Hertha either.
And so Bruno Labbadia is still under pressure.
For him, it's first against Hoffenheim and then against Bremen on Tuesday, also an ex-club.
For Labbadia, however, this is routine.
He has already worked as a player or coach for seven of the 17 league rivals.
