With his brace in the 2-1 win against SV Sandhausen, Simon Terodde took FC Schalke 04 a big step towards promotion. After the game, the striker gave a legendary croak interview.
Terodde (71st, 90th + 1) secured Schalke’s victory in Sandhausen with his 26th and 27th goals this season, and the S04 striker also had an answer ready for Dennis Diekmeier’s equalization (83rd).
After the final whistle, there were no limits to the celebrations and emotions. After the game, the striker could hardly make a sound and croaked on the “Sky” microphone: “Today… whoa… You have to realize what happened here before the game. Mega! .. . I have no voice at all.”
When asked by reporter Dirk g. Schlarmann, whether Terodde left his voice in the curve, the 34-year-old replied: “Yes, in the curve, and also in the dressing room. What can I tell you? You’ve seen everything here! We still have two games, we have to rip them.”
In the interview, Terodde also ennobled the Schalke fans: “In the end, they pushed us to victory… If you usually get 1-1 here… then you collapse. But you see what’s going on here .”
Video is spreading like wildfire
The excerpt of the interview spread like wildfire among Schalke fans, and the clip with cult potential also made the rounds on social networks shortly after the final whistle.
FC Schalke 04 also released a video showing the Schalke pros celebrating in the dressing room. The players loudly chant “Simon is on fire”.
With the win, the Royal Blues have regained the top spot in the 2nd Bundesliga. Since the rivals Werder Bremen (2:3 against Holstein Kiel) and FC St. Pauli (1:1 against 1. FC Nürnberg) blundered, Schalke is getting closer and closer to promotion.
