René Wagner's approach of encouraging players to maximize communication could be crucial to 1. FC Köln's success in the coming Bundesliga season. By having Marvin Schwäbe play without the captain's armband, he tested the goalkeeper's reactions and leadership skills, indicating an innovative training philosophy. This could not only improve players' individual performance, but also strengthen team dynamics.

• Wagner's full-throttle approach hits the vocal cords.

The first week of training at 1. FC Köln left its mark not only on the players, but also on the coaching team. The first test satisfied René Wagner. There was a special reason why he didn't send Marvin Schwäbe onto the field with the armband despite his confirmation as captain. The coach wanted to see how the goalkeeper performed without the additional responsibility, whether he could take more care of himself and improve his performance. That's why he let Schwäbe play without an armband in the friendly against SV Straelen (5-0). There's a reason for that: I wanted to see how he behaves on the pitch as a player, as a leader without this armband, Wagner explained exclusively to COLONIA SPORT. I think he did really well, he was communicative, he was loud, he was present, the goalkeeping actions he did were all very, very good. So I'm very, very satisfied with his performance. The Cologne players had to talk a lot in training, which is due to Wagner's training style. The coach demands maximum communication from his professionals on the pitch, which is also reflected in training. There's a lot of talking, a lot of conducting, and of course that takes a bit of energy. I also asked a lot of the players, a lot of communication, a lot of loudness, a lot of presence on the pitch, and that actually affects the voices a bit, Wagner explained. Wagner himself is also often loud and directed from the sidelines, which also affects the coaches' voices. He demands that his players give their all, and he does that by talking a lot, directing a lot, and being loud. Wagner demanded a lot from his players in training and also in the test match. The training this week always took place in two groups, the regular players and those who played less or not at all in the first test, who then always received additional training. Everything was given again, and I think that was also reflected in the test match a little bit, that the players are now fresher players, fitter players who show more commitment and more willingness to run.

What happens next

In the coming weeks it is expected that Wagner will continue to stick to his communication strategy to prepare the players for the challenges of the Bundesliga. The results from the test matches, such as the clear 5-0 win against SV Straelen, could serve as an indicator of the effectiveness of his approach. Fans and experts will be keen to see how these training methods affect 1. FC Köln's performance in the league.
