In the meantime, in the area of FC Schalke 04, there were hopes to start a catch -up and to attack the top positions of the 2nd Bundesliga again. But after the second defeat in a row, the gaze turns down again. Two brief legends have found a scapegoat.
A defensive blackout brought FC Schalke 04 in the hot west duel with 1. FC Köln on the losing road, in the end the royal blue on the Rhine had to give up 0: 1. Already in the previous week the 1. FC Magdeburg (2: 5) was clearly inferior.
The team of coach Kees van Wonderen continues in the lower third of the table, six points ahead of Eintracht Braunschweig are still in 16th place.
For Klaus Fischer and Rüdiger Abramczik, two Schalke club idols, the recent results were sobering.
“If you make such mistakes, you don’t win a game,” Fischer pointed out in the “Football Legend Talk”. He wondered “how badly” new Summomen Adrian Gantenbein should actually be when Mehmet Aydin is forgotten.
Ebener had caused the decisive goal by Damion Downs (42nd) with a crashed breast return. “Even a ten -year -old” would not afford such a dropout, Fischer scolded.
Abramczik Dros Verbal also on the unlucky bird. “Aydin is one who has big problems on the defensive,” said the 68-year-old.
FC Schalke 04 must “step on the gas and work”
In the upcoming home game against the troublesome Karlsruher SC, FC Schalke must now “step and work”, said Abramczik. The Badeners would “run after their shape”, but are still a dangerous opponent.
Due to a threesome on Sunday afternoon (1:30 p.m.), the home side could make a set in the table and distance the relegation region.
However, it is still unclear which staff coach van Wonderen can plan. Toracher Moussa Sylla continues to fail with a muscle fiber tear, and Emil Höjlund is also injured.
