The training facility of FC Köln, or The Geißbockheim as its more traditionally known, is a million miles away from its Premier League counterparts. Located in rural woodland, it offers fans an immersive experience were they can not only watch their heroes train, but interact with them too. Football Whispers goes behind the scenes with the vice president of the club and German legend Toni Schumacher, former European Cup winner and local Legend Tony Woodcock, and Köln's Head of Youth Development, Jörg Jakobs, to learn just what makes the Die Geißböcke's different.
Football Whispers looks at the model and method Köln apply, how it differs to the British ideology, the tradition and culture behind it before finally assessing what can we take from it to improve moving forwards.
