Toni Polster has praised Steffen Baumgart's previous work at Bundesliga club 1. FC Köln, but sees the hype surrounding the soccer teacher with skepticism.
“You have to wait and see if your explosive nature works over a season.
But right now he seems to be absolutely reaching the players and they are blindly following him.
But as we all know, things can go the other way very quickly in Cologne, ”said the former FC striker from Austria to the portal“ t-online.
Cologne - de “(Friday).
Just five months after the relegation against Kiel, the last strong Cologne team are traded as contenders for a place in the European Cup.
That earned Baumgart a lot of sympathy from the fans.
One of the merits of the new coach is to have helped the previously weak attacker Anthony Modeste to an upward trend.
"He is back on the way to becoming the old fashionable", said the 181-time Bundesliga player Polster, "I already trust him to get back into shape in the 25-goal season." Modeste was in the 2016 season / 2017 the second best Bundesliga scorer behind Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich / 30) with 25 goals.
