Manager Horst Heldt has announced a penalty for the offensive player of 1. FC Köln after the video scandal surrounding Dominick Drexler. “Of course there will be, but we will take care of that internally. There will also be another player. We will consider donating it to charity,” said Heldt one day after the 2: 1 (1: 1) – Derby win at Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Before the derby, a video from the Cologne team bus appeared on the Internet. Drexler calls FC supporters “Spacken” because they ignited pyrotechnics when the bus left. Drexler later apologized.
“There were signs on Friday that there was a misconduct. It was with us all Saturday morning,” said Heldt: “We talked intensively about the subject, it was not an easy situation for everyone. The preparation for a derby is looking usually different. It was important for us to make a statement before the game. “
Heldt was also annoyed that the video was even made public. The punishment should now remain internal. “And that’s a special challenge at 1. FC Köln,” said Heldt with a wink.
