Hoffenheim in the Friday game against Cologne: Hoeneß challenged

2021-10-15T03:51:30.237Z


Where Cologne is currently in the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim wants to go - to sixth place and within the range of European Cup places. The team around the World Cup runner-up Kramaric just doesn't get going.


Where Cologne is currently in the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim wants to go - to sixth place and within the range of European Cup places.

The team around the World Cup runner-up Kramaric just doesn't get going.

Sinsheim - Steffen Baumgart is currently being celebrated at 1. FC Cologne.

At TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, on the other hand, his colleague Sebastian Hoeneß has a hard time getting his professionals on track.

Before the Bundesliga game between the two clubs on Friday (8.30 p.m. / DAZN) in Sinsheim, the mood could hardly be more different.

Hoeneß is getting increasingly impatient with his professionals, who only collected eight points and two wins in the first seven games and delivered some really bad halftime.

The 39-year-old calls for more “sharpness” and “hardness” against Cologne.

He doesn't want to see a bloodless appearance like the last one in the 1: 3 in Stuttgart or at home against Mainz: "The basic virtues of football will be the basis against Cologne."

Bochum: Simon Zoller suffers cruciate ligament rupture

Newcomers VfL Bochum have to do without striker Simon Zoller for months in the fight to stay in the Bundesliga.

The 30-year-old tore a cruciate ligament in his left knee during training on Wednesday, the club said.

VfL also stated that Zoller would be “indefinitely” absent, “will have an operation shortly” and “then begin rehab”.

On the other hand, the sixth in the table from the Rhineland, who has been unbeaten in five games, has a successful start to the season with twelve points.

Baumgart brought 1. FC Köln, which was still considered a problem last season, to new life.

Just five months after the club was only able to secure a place in the relegation class, the club is being traded as a contender for a place in the European Cup - and the soccer teacher is even referred to in the media as "Klopp von Köln".

His flat cap, which the 49-year-old Baumgart wears every game since the first preparation game against Fortuna Köln, has long since become a best seller.

However, Hoffenheim recently celebrated six wins in a row against Cologne - and with the 6-0 on March 31, 2018, their highest success in the upper house.

A TSG professional was particularly accurate last season: Andrej Kramaric contributed five goals to the 3-2 and 3-0 win against FC.

This time the Croat can again hope for the help of his neighbor Christoph Baumgartner, who is so important for Hoffenheim;

the Austrian was last injured.
