"Digga, bottomless question!": Baumgart gives strange fake press conference

Dig, what’s up? Bre, Effzeh trainer Steffen Baumgart was in full Gommemode. And let’s put it this way: It was wyld and almost certainly slay. You only understand train station? In fact, so do we. Meanwhile, the resolution is perfectly understandable. Promised.

Coach Steffen Baumgart from the Bundesliga soccer club 1. FC Köln caused a lot of laughter and a social media hit with a fake press conference. In a video shared by the club, the 50-year-old tried to include a particularly large number of youthful words in his answers. “Digga, bottomless question,” was his answer to the question of whether FC was chasing FC Bayern this year.

He expects the upcoming opponent RB Leipzig to “slay”, i.e. confidently. “But in the end we will, how do you say it, siuuuu.” The coach spread both arms wide to the Spanish made-up word that world star Cristiano Ronaldo uses to celebrate his goals. After the supposed press conference ended, Baumgart said to press spokeswoman Lil Zercher: “Whoa, Lil, that was pretty sweet.” Which means something like “suspicious”.

A modern classic of German vocabulary is the list of candidates for the youth word of the year. It contains words that felt “in” in the 90s or 2000s. Or new creative statements that supposedly “the” youngsters throw around in the schoolyards, parks and sports halls of this republic. That’s a good thing to argue about.

Or just make funny videos. The Tagesschau spokeswoman Susanne Daubner said the words soberly last year – a viral hit. The scissors between the so serious commentator on the news who reads the funny creations: great fun. Sheesh (means something like “oha”).

1. FC Köln, after all located in the carnival and joke stronghold of Cologne, did not splash out this year and followed suit this year with a fictitious press conference by coach Steffen Baumgart. The trainer himself already has experience with social media. Thanks to his daughter, he went steep months ago via TikTok. Only when he followed the 1. FC Köln game in the living room in the Corona quarantine and rumbled, then with a dance routine together with his daughter.
