Baumgart praises Horn - but how does the goalkeeper react?

The mechanism will automatically enter into force as well as he did it on Tuesday in the other direction. If the game of FC is repeated against Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday night, Timo Horn has to clear his place in the Cologne Gate. As a matter of course, as the long-standing after the failure of the current number 1 took over the part between the posts, so obviously, Horn will give him again.

Steffen Baumgart ("We certainly do not do a goalkeeping discussion. I am no one who is constantly rotating and turning") after the failure of weakness does not have a second doubt. Finally, in January, the FC coach had stated that the newcomer from Bröndby IF to the end of the season acts as a regularkeeper.

It was an almost earlier law

For Timo Horn personally, this situation is of course everything but obvious. Since ten years ago in the season 2012/2013 to Cologne number 1 rise, an almost earlier law was: is Horn Fit, then he plays too.

Since Horn as soon as a number 1 rise, he had never denied less than 32 league games per season until this season. Only exception: 2016/2017 he lacked from the 11th to the 23rd match day because of a knee surgery. Otherwise the left foot was always set. Was. Now this is until the end of the season for wedges, which has raised the bar, especially with his footballing skills.

So its pass quota is 85, which from Horn only at 78 percent. In addition, the new rarer resorts on air balls, playing the ball as desired from Baumgart, flatten back.

For Horn, injured on 21 November at the 1-1 in Mainz on the knee and exported until the winter break, the situation on Saturday is a completely new. He already knows: no matter how he plays, he will have to clear his place again.

Horn has little comeback experience

Will the Cologne, who previously impeccably behaved as number 2, was fully participated and never took a publicly complained or for restlessness, so freed to play? Or will the game for him a game where he can win little? If he plays well, it is allowed to swear ("Marvin is the circumstances correspondingly well. We assume that he will get back next week," says Baumgart) yet again. He plays badly, cemented the position of his competitor.

Great comeback experience does not necessarily have Horn due to its vita. When he returned to the goal at 2: 2 in Ingolstadt on March 11, 2017, it ran everything but good for the Silver Medal Winner of Rio of Janeiro 2016. Horn cashed for a gross patzer at the Kellkind from the Cologne Gate a 5.

Frankfurt could be a bad matchup

On Saturday, Horn, who has not called a mandatory game since the 12th matchday, lie to a relative cold start. A disadvantage not to be underestimated: Finally, Eintracht Frankfurt acts much over the wings, beats many high edges in front of the opposing goal - and the penalty area does not apply to Horn's paradised discipline.

The missing matchpraxis of the goalkeeper, which was only allowed to collect play time on the last weekend of Schalke (2: 2) on the last weekend of Schalke (2: 2), could additionally be hindrance in this not-favored requirement area. Will the 28-year routine be sufficient to eat this handicap?

He is a role model for many others.

Steffen Baumgart about Timo Horn

Baumgart Anyway, Horn praises for its handling of the constellation: "He has accepted this new situation very well for him. Not, because he only accepted and trained it well, but also how he handed as a person and as a pro."

Horn behaves as number 2 most professional. But this sees his coach "rated too little positively. He's a role model for many others. He was with every away game, even if he did not stand in the squad." Finally, after a decade as number 1, Horn could also take a very different role, as Baumgart emphasizes: "Underestimize many from the outside, which happens to someone who had a fixed place for ten years." On Saturday you will see if this also has an impact on the field.
