Game had to be interrupted! |
Choreo chaos in Schalke bankruptcy
At Schalke, fans and players currently have one thing in common: They are obviously trying, but not everything works when it comes to execution.
The debut of coach Thomas Reis (49) in the 0-2 defeat against Freiburg begins with chaos.
Fan-Fail! This is where the Schalke choreo goes wrong
30.10.2022
Before kick-off, Schalke fans use blue smoke to transform a huge white jersey into a royal blue one on the north stand. Looks great!
Unhappy: The smoke moves into the Schalke penalty area at the start of the game, massively reducing visibility. Referee Dingert interrupts the game in the 4th minute for 71 seconds.
On the field, three days after his first training session, Reis relies on compactness. After all, the Schalke bulwark lasts 45 minutes…
Reis at DAZN: “We defended it really well in the first half. However, we were very negligent during the switchover moments.”
New coach, old problems: again there are unnecessary goals conceded!
Harmless in front, flawed in back: Grifo is not attacked by Yoshida. He flicks the ball precisely into the corner from the edge of the penalty area (45+1). Goal!
After halftime, Schalke is very lucky. Freiburg missed a number of big chances.
Ultimately, it is again up to Schalke themselves that Freiburg scores and that there is the 6th league bankruptcy in a row: Calhanoglu knocks Jeong off his knees at knee height. Referee Dingert initially lets play continue and only gives a penalty after VAR notice. Grifo transforms cool (61st).
Reis loses – and already has little hope: “It will be very, very difficult …”
