Schalke trainer does something about it Slogans of determination
After the remarkable protective efficiency of Gelsenkirchen, that are currently the only group with Braunschweig to have actually yielded 16 objectives, Geraerts attempted to motivate determination: “That’s part of football. You win, you lose. In football, my motto is: keep going – when things are going well, but also when things are not going well.” The stress is regular at a large club like Schalke: “That’s not a problem for me.”
When inquired about himself and the truth that, according to media records, the video games versus Darmstadt and in Münster (Saturday, 8.30 p.m.) were finals for him, the Belgian football trainer informed: “For me it was not a ‘final game’. I prepared for the game just like all the other players. Tomorrow is a new day for me.”

The protective document ought to in fact be much better. In the stressful last period, when Schalke only simply taken care of to stay clear of transfer to the 3rd department, the “Royal Blues” currently had the 5th worst protection.

Manga, whose viewpoint is to authorize young abilities inexpensively and afterwards market them on for a great deal of cash, had actually required using the brand-new gamers: “He has alternatives, he can tinker.” Geraerts responded to: “I give everything for Schalke, I don’t play politics.”

Captain Karaman: “Club will draw its conclusions”

I think the club will draw its conclusions in the end. The coach always tries to prepare us well for all games and we did that well in the first half. We have to analyse the second half very carefully.”
