Before moving to Copenhagen: Larsson without a scorer point at Schalke 04

Larsson’s personal record at Schalke can be summarized quickly: No goal involvement in twelve competitive games played, no game over 90 minutes. Although S04 coach Thomas Reis used the native of Rotterdam in both Bundesliga duels of the new year this week, Larsson was also unable to set any accents in a currently extremely weak team from the bottom of the table.

In the run-up to the upcoming home game against 1. FC Köln, Reis confirmed that Schalke 04 still believe in the qualities of offensive power: “He has skills, otherwise Schalke 04 would not have signed him.” succeeded, is also “difficult to analyze” for the coach, but he suspects a blockage in the head, Reis is told by the “Funk media groupquoted.

So far in the current winter transfer window, Schalke have given up three players and signed five newcomers (not including Timothée Kolodziejczak, who is set to be traded again – click here for an overview). Larsson’s departure is also being discussed in the TM rumor mill. “Stamp it and I’ll post it myself if need be. Unfortunately it didn’t work at all, but you could say that about the entire team. If you get rid of him for plus-minus-zero, nobody would be sad,” writes TM user “Jmaster” harshly but honestly. “S04_Fan_Alex” is of the opinion: “Financially but not really painful as long as the KO is pulled. I think the KO will be in the seven-digit range and will cover half the year’s salary with signing bonuses. But it’s still a shame, of course, because there was great hope and he wasn’t able to deliver what was promised of him/what he was able to achieve.”
