The omens before Schalke’s home game against champions Bayern? As disastrous as Royal Blues last year. The supposed saviors Sead Kolasinac (27) and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar (37) are missing before the leader due to injury. And the latest statistics against Bayern? Don’t be hopeful either. At the beginning of the season in September there is an 8-0 package. Overall, the Royal Blues have already lost the last nine competitive matches against Munich, with a goal difference of 2:30!
Nor was there a feat on the 18th of this season. A year ago, when the Schalke clash began, the gap with Bayern is still three points. S04 is now at the other end of the table. With 35 points of difference with the favorite of Munich …
The next clear defeat
In the home game against Robert Lewandowski and Co., Christian Gross’s squad is clearly behind and falls 4-0. Despite a decent start, and despite a long and strong goalkeeper Ralf Fährmann, who only seems unhappy with the fourth goal, after a ball from Alaba. Before that, he avoided an even bigger Schalke debacle with great reflexes.
Thomas Müller, twice headed, and Lewandowski, with his 23rd goal of the season, continue to make it 3-0 until the 88th minute.
Gross sees on the side how the fourth bankruptcy in his fifth game against Schalke becomes a fact. Eight points behind relegation place are now, ten in 15th place that saves.
That means former Schalke Neuer goalkeeper
The threatening situation in Gelsenkirchen even worries Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who, when asked about his ex-club after the final whistle, explains: “Hopefully the Schalkeers stay in the league and can change course!”
As Bayern drift away at the top, Schalke’s situation becomes increasingly desperate, increasingly a Mission Impossible.
Or not? At first, Gross declared seriously: “We did some things very well, but others very bad, of course. Then he added that, despite the clear result, he recognized “progress” in the game. Will the change of course against Werder be successful next Saturday? Fährmann is combative: «For us now come the important games. Clean your mouth and win in Bremen! “(mpe)
