Schalke will start in the Cup against fourth-tier Dynamo Berlin in the new season. The club is with the coach Tedesco in front of a new beginning. The success of the 31-Year-old is also the fate of sports management Board of Heidelberg.
His arms seem to fly in several directions at the same time, the voice is loud, penetrating, and also some distance yet unmistakable. Domenico Tedesco on the training ground of FC Schalke 04 is no doubt that he wants to see his ideas from his players implemented.
The young coach of the Ruhr area club tries to give his team with a lot of commitment and emphasis. The preferred tactical System of the 31-Year-old to the 3-4-3, with the early-Pressing and fast-paced wing play will lead to success. This did not allow Tedesco already, but even more. Many players have the prep test play on different positions and in different tactical variants found, a root formation has not formed yet.
Tedesco is a Surprise
“We have met the team, so as I announced it,” says the football coach now, before the first competitive game of the DFB-Pokal match at fourth-tier Dynamo Berlin. “We are not noticed, that we play the counter attack situations, clean to the end.” Whether he will implement his System-a preference in the fact that leaves Tedesco and restrained. As long as he is not of the opinion that he has the ideal players for his preferred System, he can make friends with other tactical orientations. This flexibility allows Tedesco.
The young Trainer has only his own personal impressions, and reviews in the decisions and, apparently, nothing of Erbhöfen, so he was surprised last Thursday not only his players, but also sporting Director Christian Heidel. Tedesco appointed goalkeeper Ralf Fährmann about the new captain. Benedikt Höwedes, who had the office for six years held, was unexpectedly replaced. “I knew nothing about it, support the coach, but in all of his decisions,” says Heidel.
“Honey-Moon”Phase is over
The new and the old captain: Ralf Fährmann (l.) and Benedikt Höwedes (R.)
The removal of the Old captain Höwedes, the many kept in the club, and also a lot of Fans for a ideal occupation, requires Courage from the young football coach. On your agreement, he will not meet. “We do not want individual players to hide behind Benedikt Höwedes,” says Tedesco, his choice. Heidel says: “Perhaps the time has come, the such a change most of the time.”
The usual “Honey-Moon” Phase of the preparation, in which all sides – coaches, players, athletic leadership – get to know first and to the public and each other a lot of sympathy for Express, is over. Especially blueberries are likely to be anxious, a good relationship to Inglese build and strengthen his back. Because with the sporting success of the young Coach, the blueberry heaved after past season for Markus Weinzierl boldly into the office, is also likely to be the future of Schalke sporting Executive Board closely linked. Currently, the blueberry-Tedesco-principle prevails in Gelsenkirchen.
Blueberry-default: international competition
The first season Heidels. The 54-Year-old was lined up to lead the club back to the success track. Around 70 million euros, the former Mainz Manager had invested in new players. So much money was spent by the club in its long history. Came out however, the Miss of the international contest, as well as the up to the end of the season deferred the fight against relegation.
Also to strengthen the own Position, calls for the blueberry of his new Coach to return for the upcoming season, “in the international competition”. This should succeed, would be an important first step, and the Position of the Trainer and of the sports Board is initially strengthened.
Many new approaches and the search for the desire-Eleven: Domenico Tedesco during Training
But in addition to the sporting expectations of the staff ensure the prospects these days for nervousness around the Chelsea market. Midfield ACE Leon Goretzka denied as an extension of his expiring contract, as the own plants, Thilo Kehrer and Max Meyer. So far, it has not blueberry in Schalke yet to extend a contract of a player.
Heidelberg offers looseness
The players seem to want to wait for the company’s prospects in the scarf and the own market worth exploring. But should not extend to these professionals in Gelsenkirchen and club without a transfer fee to leave – as Sead Kolasinac is likely to be the criticism of blueberry bigger.
Schalke Sporting Director Christian Heidel
Because the club is not only for more financial substance, but also additional Schalke identity would be lost. “The contract is signed, the two sides are now even,” says Heidel defiantly. “Contracts run out. If one says, as he prevents that, then he is a Great one. Then he has to accept this Post.”
In addition, it is not so that the Schalke need to cordon off the doors, because all the players wanted to get away, says the Manager. These rumors and discussions are completely normal. “We are relaxed, this is a normal Situation in many other Clubs,” said Heidel.
Yet for all the information provided, looseness of the Manager of a hot Phase for the club starts with the match in Berlin. The next few weeks will decide whether Schalke can again be found in the German top back. Or whether the same fate, as the traditional clubs Werder Bremen and Hamburger SV, the after race, for years, the Successes of ancient times.
