Köln has seen better days, and the present of this club from Germany is not particularly optimistic. The Billy Goats were relegated from the elite Bundesliga this year, and to make matters worse, they are not allowed to buy new players this season. Whether they will cope with the challenges in the second German league remains to be seen. Also intriguing is the role that Jaka Čuber Potočnik will play in this scenario. The young Slovenian started his preparations with Köln’s first team, now under the guidance of Austrian coach Gerhard Struber, formerly of Red Bull Salzburg.
Gerhard Struber led his team into their first friendly match after a few training sessions, which was watched by 2500 spectators. The opponent was the lesser-known VfL Rheingold 1912 Köln-Poll, a club from the district league, against whom the second-tier team had little trouble. Köln celebrated an 18-0 victory, and from a Slovenian perspective, the highlight was undoubtedly Jaka Čuber Potočnik scoring his first goal for the first team of his club. Before this, he had scored quite a few goals for the youth and reserve teams…
The former player of Ljubljana’s Olimpija started the match on the bench, entering the game in the 76th minute. Almost immediately upon entering the field, he helped Köln extend their lead to 15-0, and shortly after, he was denied another goal by the frame of the goalpost. Jaka Čuber Potočnik certainly made the most of the opportunity given to him, immediately showing Struber what he is capable of.
