Cologne - FC-villains in the shadow of the temple ... We see Patrick Helmes. Bayer Star, goalscorers, national players. He is sweating, powert off.
The comeback after his painful cruciate ligament. "In six or seven weeks I'll be back," he hopes.
In the background we see the RheinEnergieStadion. The former living room of the thoroughbred striker. Somehow, he comes away from his former club, will it? "No, no," reassured helmet pendant, Bayer, "a part of the rehab I am completing in the Cologne Media Park Hospital."
But is also clear: He suffers with his former colleagues. In the 1:2 defeat against Schalke helmet was live in the stadium. And pressed his former colleagues, of course, the thumbs.
"With a little luck they could get a point. Too bad that it was not enough. Now the situation at FC is clearly challenging. "
