Whoever thought that FC Schalke 04’s win against Eintracht Braunschweig was some kind of chestburster was disappointed. Schalke lost 1:0 in Kiel after a poor performance.
The 3,000 or so FC Schalke 04 fans who had traveled with them were speechless after the 1-0 defeat at KSV Holstein Kiel. No words of encouragement for the team, no whistling.
Of course, the Schalke professionals also noticed this reaction – like Marius Müller. The S04 number one, who saved the Gelsenkirchen side from going behind in the first 45 minutes, had clear words for “Sky” about Schalke’s performance in Kiel.
Müller’s plain language: “There is no feedback from the fans after this game. If they cheer, that’s fine, but if they don’t give any feedback, we should be worried. I’m fed up too. We have to manage to win two or three games in a row. This up and down just hurts. Nevertheless, we have to keep going and put our balls on the table again against Wehen Wiesbaden. “
But before the newly promoted team from Hesse comes to the Gelsenkirchen Arena – Saturday, February 17, 1 p.m., Forecasting live ticker – the performance of Kiel must first be dealt with
Müller has already made a start: “In the end, it’s not enough if you perform like this. We knew it was going to be nasty. We made too many mistakes, we did too many bad things, we slipped up when we scored – that’s absolutely not enough. That’s not good enough! Kiel should have taken the lead in the first half. I don’t know why it went that way for us. But it was too little of everything, too much headlessness, too much recklessness, it was just bad.”
The fact that Kiel took the lead after around an hour through former Schalke player Steven Skrzybski and that this volley was probably preceded by a foul by Shuto Machino on Simon Terodde was not something Müller wanted to see as an alibi at all.
“In the end, it’s bitter that the 18 is right in front of me and I don’t see the shot properly. The whole situation, the build-up to the corner kick, is bitter. We were asleep,” emphasized Müller.
