Too low adsorption energy

Hi folks, I've got a problem with my results. I'm trying to replicate the 
results of a calculation done by VASP in CP2K but there is a major 
difference between outcomes.
I want to determine *adsorption energy of a Co2 molecule on Anatase (001) 
surface*. Adsorption energy achieved by CP2k for me is too low (almost 1/4 
of the actual results!). I'm totally new in CP2K and I don't know what is 
wrong with my calculation. 
Could you please take a look to my input and XYZ files and let me know what 
is the problem with them? 

Here is my input file:
