The new coach Huub Stevens brings the team of FC Schalke 04 back to life. Magic has but also the low countries. Against RB Leipzig, there is the next failure and the next negative record.

At the end of Huub Stevens stood stunned at the edge of the field. He stared into the distance, not more, the world seemed to understand. Perhaps the coach of FC Schalke 04 in this Moment was the interim only really aware of the heavy task he was expected to. The 0:1 against RB Leipzig, was an unsuccessful launch of a two days earlier, started rescue operation, no one yet knows whether you kastrophe in Total, the descent, or even just in the classes hold.

The goals from Timo Werner, the sixth Schalke game in a defeat and the fourth home defeat in a row – and on top of everything without their own hit perfect. A new negative record of the Ruhr area clubs. The total of 15. Defeat of the season meant the slip on the table 15. Up to the relegation place, the VfB Stuttgart currently holds, it is only three points. The fear blue is the king.

A little more hope

Yet for all the despair the followers and the leaders of the clubs were able to recoup at least a little hope. “We have tried, the heads are free to get. In the performance of many has voted. Only a little bit of luck we needed to score,” said Stevens. In fact, the team of dedicated, passionate and committed occurred in the past few weeks. The shortcomings of the team were not overlooked again. However, the players tried to make this with increased use of betting.

“If you have not conceded in the last Play so many counter hit, you have to watch first, that the organization is wrong about the entire game, and the team does not give up,” said Stevens. Anyway, it was always Stevens’ Motto, to concede as little as possible goals. The attractiveness of the game of the own team had him never interested much. This worked, at least. After 21 goals in five games, the match against the Saxons was, therefore, already a great progress.

Stevens was also a big effort to talk to his players. From his point of view, the best way to get further access to the professionals and to take concrete influence on his team.

Stevens: “I’m disappointed”

Lots of chances, no goal: Schalke’s professional Uth has the possibility of playful, but

“Through the coaching change, it was clear that Schalke would show a better performance,” said RB coach Ralf Rangnick. This rank nick in the run-up to the feared effect was actually. Maybe it’s because the S04-players now have to get clear of Stevens conveys that you are deep in a relegation battle. But to lose as well, because each of the professionals may have a new Coach, the fear of his place. A more serious assessment is likely, however, until after the next League game, the descent, the summit at Hannover 96.

“I’ll do anything to get this. We need to give each player the confidence,” said Stevens, for the first time in 1135 days in the Schalke tracksuit on the sidelines, in the meantime, a heart Operation had undergone, and his Job as a football teacher, actually on the pension nail to be hung. For the low countries, the match was still “a disappointment because we have lost”.

Many and intense workouts

Ironically, guest coach Rangnick was then allowed a glimpse into the Stevens’flash work. “I know the Huub. Since it was in the mid-term again, a clear message to the team. We knew that,” said RB Coach. Straightness and significant words have always been the Credo of the Schalke interim coach. The first positive effect he has achieved.

Stevens and his Co-Trainer Mike Büskens can stabilize the approximately two-week international break now use to the Team. But, solution ways, as the Team comes to own goals. Because despite some good scoring chances all Schalke failed to Protect the nerves. Up to three professionals Stevens has all players available. Two training sessions a day likely to to the player.

There is much to do at the Berger field. “You have to see where this team is coming from,” said Stevens go in the past and disappeared from the Schalke Arena. The players will get their Coach to see in the next few days, but probably more often than it should be sweet.
