With the representative break, everyone prepares for the upcoming challenges in their own way. Koper played a friendly match against a Serie A club, while Köln, competing in the second German Bundesliga this season, participated in a charity tournament in Middle Rhine. Köln, historically one of the largest German football clubs, faced lower league teams Fortuna and Viktoria, defeating both and winning the tournament, the proceeds of which will be allocated to the sports infrastructure of amateur clubs in the local football association. That’s how things are done in Germany, where big clubs are happy to help smaller ones… Many could learn something from them.
As mentioned, Köln won the tournament, and young Slovenian footballer Jaka Čuber Potočnik also contributed to this success, increasingly establishing himself on the senior stage. This time, he made an impression in the semifinals when, in the third minute of the match against Fortuna, he delivered a cross into the box, which Sargis Adamyan capitalized on to give the goats the lead. “The event was very pleasant, primarily because it brought money for working with youth in smaller clubs. That is the biggest victory. Winning the tournament was also somewhat our goal,” said Köln’s coach Gerhard Struber after two victories.
Jaka Čuber Potočnik, who is only 19 years old, has scored 2 goals in 3 matches for Köln’s reserve team this season and has also been on the bench for the senior team in the second Bundesliga twice. Recently, there were hints that he might debut against Schalke, but that did not happen; in any case, it is only a matter of time before the talented Slovenian forward, who has scored 31 goals in 49 matches since arriving in Germany, plays for the first team of Köln.
