Schalke 04 won with a dedicated power point in the case of RB Leipzig. However, the striker did not meet again. As weak as currently, there is no Offensive in the Ruhr area clubs was a very long time.
The faces seemed somewhat at a loss, even if the statements sounded as if you wanted to exude optimism. The players of FC Schalke 04 were after the 0:0 RB Leipzig and torn between the satisfaction with this away point. And the disappointment about the missed opportunity to win a counterpoint to the current downturn in the Bundesliga. “I am satisfied with the game. A pity that we did not achieve a goal,” said midfielder Benjamin Stambouli. Weston McKennie was sure that we “absolutely want to score a goal. Eventually, this will happen again”.
Passion, commitment, willingness to run, and it had mangled the Ruhr club in Saxony. It is a wear and tear was a battle in which both teams had used up their powers. But in addition to all the fighting and loss of substance, the Schalke have managed once again to achieve a hit. Just five goals scored by the Royal Blues in nine games. A number of the Team is hardly competitive. It is the worst Schalke (attack) is also a balance sheet for 51 years. “It’s just a shame,” said coach Domenico Tesco about the fact that his players don’t want to meet the opponent’s goal. Even the best of the opportunities you miss.
Heidel: “There is no coach in the world can do what”
Most of the Schalker financial statements are easy prey for Leipzig’s goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi
Attacker Breel Embolo, not brought in from six meters centrally in front of the goal and unmarked to head the Ball to a corner. Or Weston McKennie, who has also taken via a head ball from a corner, only the crossbar of the Leipzig gate. Whether Stambouli, McKennie, Inglese: All three emphasized that they would make bigger things to Worry about when the team would play out no chances – because then you have no Chance to score a hit. “That’s not in football, as a Phase, where you have to hit the target. The will pass. There is no coach in the world can change. We will leave hopefully back soon,” said Schalke’s sporting Director Christian Heidel.
However, the question arises whether the Schalke Offensive has over the competition the necessary quality, to be able to counter the opposing defenses will prevail, after so many games. Playful Schalke are often inadequate. Especially since the two top-class scoring chances are not created against Leipzig because of the efforts but standard situations.
Defensive is always more stable

And there seems to be no coincidence that it’s always Embolo is the best bullet awards opportunities. Most recently, in the Champions League with Galatasaray Istanbul, he had lost immediately in front of the gate of the nerves and a double chance almost easily forgiven.
The good news for Schalke out of the game in Leipzig was that at least the Defensive radiates back to this stability, she had been awarded in the previous year. Many of the parameters in the Schalke game to move back to a more normal level. However, the time you a little. On Wednesday in the DFB-Pokal at the 1. FC Cologne the next Bewährungsprbe on the schedule. Then the Schalke want to meet again. “That’s the Plan,” says Heidel.
