In spring-like temperatures, Sturm is working hard for the spring season at the camp in Marbella. On Wednesday afternoon, the champions will take part in their first test run in Spain. Still with Mika Biereth, the object of Monaco's desire. An agreement is still pending, Sturm is said to have rejected the last offer.

Hotel Kempinski, Tuesday morning. A Rolls-Royce is parked in front of the luxury hotel in Marbella. And the team bus from 1. FC Köln. "I haven't seen Flo yet, he's probably ashamed of his red kit," winks team manager Martin Ehrenreich. But then Florian Kainz does turn up in the lobby. "Hi, Gerdschi," he says, delighted to see Storm's veteran masseur Gerhard Wallner again.
