After an meantime, when FC Schalke 04 scored ten points between the 24th and 28th matchday and has practically bagged the early relegation in the 2nd Bundesliga, the royal blue broke down completely in terms of performance. Above all, the away defeat near Jahn Regensburg (0: 2) and on Sunday at 1. FC Kaiserslautern (1-2) the S04 supporters leave the S04 again at a loss.
“I didn’t recognize the team anymore. I had the impression that they didn’t want to win the game at all,” the Schalke club icon Rüdiger Abramczik struggled in the YouTube format “Football Legend Talk”, especially with the desolate setting of FC Schalke 04, which had been subordinate to the guest appearance on Betzenberg in all matters.
For Abramczik, who himself worked as a professional for the narrow for nine years, it is clear: “With the performance like against Kaiserslautern, you will no longer win a game.” For the 69-year-old with the remaining games against Paderborn (H), Düsseldorf (A) and Elversberg (H), the really high hurdles for the season finale are still imminent.
Schalke legend Klaus Fischer, meanwhile, already stated in the online format that the Gelsenkircheners cannot take a great step forward in the coming season. Table to target higher realms in 2025/2026 is currently completely unrealistic for the former international.
Fischer fears: “Nothing will change”
“We have nothing to look up there. Of course, mistakes happen. But mistakes always happen. But as serious mistakes as we always make, you can’t get up there. Nothing will change next year, no matter who you get. I’m convinced of.”
Klaus Fischer and Rüdiger Abramczik again struggled with the fact that the Schalke team was particularly lacking in the consistency. Just a week earlier, the narrow outnumbered, despite almost 90-minute outnumbered, reached a 2-2 draw against the promotion aspirant Hamburger SV.
