Steffen Rampart did not brake. Stop the face! Shouted a Bochum fan, when the coach of the 1st FC Cologne is used to short-sleeved, hyperactive and loudly his team at the side line drive. Certainly not, 50-year-old replied, and the few approved spectators applauded in the Ruhrstadion amused.

At the slightly happy 2: 2 (2: 1) of the FC in the new climber VFL Gathered Rampart, risen in no time to the Cologne cult trainer, even in the opposing camp plus points.
