After my one and a half years, Christopher has insulted that I have persuaded him to suicide squad at FC, I can now finally countered. I told him then, "take charge of the FC, which increases with time and then initially believe in the Bundesliga.
If you all succeed, they build you a monument beside Willy Millowitsch. This is more fun and quality of life means more than playing with Moscow or Kiev in the Champions League. "Of course I am now glad that I was right.
For a monument, he is still too young. But the Cologne-based trio-let me - forgive thumb drive today as King Christopher I of Cologne. And he has this same thing without any ifs and buts deserve.
As a young coach, he has freed the FC 20 years ago from the crisis. Then still with youthful vigor, with the most modern training methods, but sometimes also with a braggart known as Cassius Clay. Now he has 150 games with FC by far the longest-serving coach.
