Schalke 04 vs. Hertha BSC: Fan annoys overshadowed home game!

Before the upcoming home game of FC Schalke 04 against Hertha BSC on Saturday, October 5, at 8:30 p.m. in the Veltins Arena, there is an unpleasant message from Gelsenkirchen. The Schalke had to deal with an incident that happened after a Champions League game between Schachtar Donetsk and Atalanta Bergamo near the arena.

According to the police, there was an escalation between ATALATION supporters and an estimated 30 to 40 Schalke fans, which apparently started a physical attack out of the bush. A press release reports that four suspects have been arrested and one of them is already registered as a “violent offender sport”. The fans involved are assigned to the groups "Ultras" and "Hugos".

reactions of the association and the police

FC Schalke 04 reacted quickly and explained in a statement: "FC Schalke 04 condemns violence at any location and at any time. In dialogue with all parties, the association will support the refurbishment." The Gelsenkirchen police chief, Tim Frommeyer, also clearly commented: "A possible consequence of the incidents could be a recommendation to the UEFA not to carry out any guest performances on Schalke in the future." According to him, the behavior of these "fans" is not only unacceptable, but also anti -social.

Nevertheless, the Schalke do not want to be influenced by this incident. The Veltins-Arena will be almost sold out, since 5,000 Berlin fans travel to Gelsenkirchen to support their team. The game against Hertha BSC could be of great importance for FC Schalke 04, especially after the recent victory against Prussia Münster with 2: 1.

The line-up for the upcoming match looks promising: Schalke could compete with a number of talented players, while Hertha BSC will send a motivated team into the race after their clear 1: 4 defeat against SV Elversberg.

This incident throws a shadow about the upcoming match, but it remains to be hoped that the sporting performance of the game will be in the foreground, while the club and the police are continuously working on dealing with events.
