The Schalke broke series. Coach Domenico Tedesco can’t find any solutions, Manager Heidels commitments apply. For Royal blue, this is a Déjà-vu experience, says DW editor Jörg straw dummy.
The whole of Schalke is currently in a nightmare. And this is really Unpleasant in this Situation that the Ruhr club had such an experience before not too long time already.
After the 0:1 in Freiburg Schalke with five defeats have layers in a row, again a false start in the new Bundesliga season. 2016 under Markus Weinzierl, you have suffered this Trauma. At the end of the season, the highly-traded team landed on the joyless tenth place and the coach was fired. Domenico Tedesco is in bloom now, a similar scenario?
Long-term prospects appears to be dreary
At first glance, the 33-Year-old due to the surprisingly successful preseason big credit to the club and in the environment. The second table has all the that have to do with the club, put in sheer Amazement. Finally, someone seemed to have the key found, as might be sustained sporting success in the club implement.

However, criticism of the simple game of the Tedesco team had become at that time. This was but glossed over in many cases by good results and by the Parties, apparently, not taken seriously. The success has masked a long-term perspective.
This currently appears to be, however, so sad that to think is hard, which is the surge of Confidence Schalke were taken a few weeks ago and how much the game of luck was bestowed upon the Team at the time, out of the blue. These important components of the Schalke success fall away suddenly, and, thus, the Worst Case has occurred. Topsy-turvy world at Schalke.
Playful simplicity and lack of imagination
The core problem is the playful simplicity, and the simultaneous lack of imagination, especially in the build-up. The attack game is a complete Disaster, because it is created at random and the winning of the second balls. No structure, no running, no Dribbling, brings the opposing defenses in motion, let alone in trouble. Two doors are so far the meager income. This criticism must be the Coach’s favor.
That Tedesco believes his team still on the right track, is irritating. Maybe this optmistische evaluation is after the first half in Freiburg, in the Schalke shot an offside goal shot and twice unfortunately on the pole failed, yet understandable. Due to the significantly weaker second half of Tedesco’s point of view, the Schalke performance, however, is hardly portable. Because not a single shot of one of his players also went only in the direction of the Freiburg goal.
A further development of its team. On the contrary, Tedesco has recently initiated a step back, giving more prominence to playful approaches, completely in the Background and only with long balls to operate – this should bring the success back. But that didn’t work. In Freiburg, the six new in the starting line-up shifted player should also offer more combination play. A real strategy Tedesco is not recognizable.
Transfer policy is questionable
Alone Tedesco is not anzukreiden this undesirable development. The Manager Christian Heidel committed players are also not at all convincing. New arrivals such as Sebastian Rudy, Mark Uth, Suat Serdar, or Salif Sané are far from meeting the expectations. A gain, none of them yet. The approximately 55 million euros, has invested in Heidelberg, have paid off in any way.
Schalke attacker Breel Embolo can’t convince in his time in Gelsenkirchen yet.
And Breel Embolo, the most expensive player in the club’s history (around 25 million Euro) and of Heidelberg, in his third year in Gelsenkirchen, hardly more than a hanger-on.
“The credit of the last season, I don’t want to. It comes to this season,” said Tedesco after the game in Freiburg. The Schalke nightmare is in full swing. On Saturday against Mainz 05, the Team should awaken but better. Otherwise, Tedesco could be soon, actually measured solely on the current season.
