Anger monlog by Dietmar Hamann
Schalke dances slapstick tango to hell
By Tobias Nordmann, Ruhr area
The relegation of FC Schalke 04 is increasingly a certainty. Who wants to believe in salvation after gossip in Wolfsburg? The defeat begins with a rare own goal and overlaps with Ralf Rangnick’s plans.
There are still people in the Bundesliga who are really good at FC Schalke 04. One of them is Sören Storks. On Saturday afternoon, the referee finished the mandatory task of the Gelsenkirchen team at VfL Wolfsburg in the exact second. He ended the next athletic seizure without a minimum of overtime. He saved the bottom suspended from the table more minutes of suffering. With this team, after just one (!) Victory (!) In the last 41 (!) League Matches (!), It’s really no longer a matter of seconds or minutes.
And it bothers you yourself to point out again after this day 25 that Schalke can no longer be saved this season, that Schalke will be relegated to the 2nd division, although there are still nine games left, although this Route 27 still has points to be collected. But that would require at least agile staff. And that is not currently the case in Gelsenkirchen. In fact, new coach Dimitrios Grammozis’ team is one of the weakest running backs in the league, plus glaring endurance problems came again at 0: 5 in Wolfsburg.
But if only those were the only (problems) …! Pretty bad, for sure. But it is (unfortunately) like this: if it doesn’t get worse, then this Schalke will always come. Similar to the coffin nail game against FSV Mainz 05 last Friday, there was also no idea of an offensive game against Wolfsburg. The stats show five hilarious shots on goal, but aside from a very good long-range attempt from William (the irony of all the royal blue drama that he’s on loan from VfL) and a deal on Shkodran Mustafi’s goal, there’s Now It was nothing that was a great idea, reveals a general plan. And once again it was mainly the players who did not play anything for months.
Mustafi also saw a lot of good things
But not everything was bad in this world, some Schalke players analyzed. “I think we worked very well against the ball in the first half and we were very organized,” Mustafi said. “It became difficult for us after my own goal.” And what a strange thing it was! The 2014 world champion headed a high rebound block towards the goalkeeper. But wherever he went, there was only one door without waiting. It was the prelude to a wrong tango in hell. With lead dancer Mustafi. It was a tango of bad duels, of ridiculous turnovers, of shameful positional errors. Grammozis was, however, a moderate judge: “My guys wanted, you could see. The attitude was correct. But it was also evident that we are not yet able to achieve compactness in a full distance with this retention of intensity.”
But around the Bundesliga there are not only people who have good intentions towards FC Schalke 04. Dietmar Hamann is one of these people. The Sky expert once again crushed the royal blue society of suffering this Saturday. Unlike usual, a criticism resulted in a monologue that lasted several minutes. Among other things, he said in excerpts: “What these players allow themselves is a shame for this traditional club. What they allow themselves to dirty the club like that.”
Even the simplest things like defending – impossible with this team: “You don’t need any skill, just solidarity and will. But they can’t even do that. I’m sorry to the fans. What this team allows itself has no character and FC Schalke 04 is not worthy. ” Players would also suffer from excessive self-confidence. “They think they are better than they are. Christian Gross had to leave because some players complained that he could not get them out of there. When I see Mustafi, he plays a role in the change of coach and today he is involved in every goal of Again, that is a player who did not play for Arsenal and there is a reason for that. “
The end of the drama is in sight
Well, there won’t be many who will speak out against the 59-time former national player’s upcoming rage. The best for everyone involved in the Schalke Kummer monastery: The team that will have to prove its worth in league two from the summer, will hardly have anything to do with this overrated, bought without sense and reason. It is all the more astonishing that in his second game the manager was still reluctant to radically initiate the already imminent change of personnel.
Ralf Rangnick would be someone who could and would do that with a sea change. The 62-year-old may face a sensational return to Gelsenkirchen. According to media reports, influential forces in business and politics want to install the former coach as the sports director and strongman of the traditional summer club. Many Schalke fans can at least get excited about this plan on social media. Because, in fact, the name Rangnick is synonymous with success. In Gelsenkirchen too, but even more so in TSG Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig, whose wonderful (though financially well-fed) uphill fairy tales are always woven into him.
But the possible sensation is apparently flanked by huge discrepancies. The “Bild” and the “WAZ” reported that there was a big dispute in the supervisory board on Friday because their acting chairman, Jens Buchta, apparently favored a solution with Leipzig sporting director Markus Krösche. A quote from Twitter: “Why should Krösche leave RB to move to Schalke?” Yes, why actually? Counter question? Why should Rangnick play the drama himself, now that he’s flirting with the position of national coach and thinking of the big clubs as the last adventure of his career? Well, because he’s actually one of those people who really do well with FC Schalke 04.
