Schalke 04: The upswing in the final sprint - is the turnaround now?

FC Schalke 04 shows upward trends in the current season after the team won a total of eleven points in the last six games. Despite intensive criticism, which was particularly loud after painful defeats and Karel Geraert's coaching, those responsible remained calm and self -critical. Trainer Kees van Wonderen and the squad planners around Ben Manga continue to believe in the path they have taken, such as Heidelberg24 reported. In particular, the convincing performance against top teams such as Paderborn and Elversberg were a glimmer of hope for the future.

strategic planning for the second half of the season

In order to pursue the sporting ambitions, Schalke is already planning for the upcoming winter transfer window. The club has terminated office space in the "Medicos" to save 250,000 euros annually and to create more financial scope - a decision that enables those responsible to concentrate on necessary reinforcements. In particular, the defensive is identified as a weak point, such as The west . The focus on central defense could be crucial to show more sustainable services in the second half of the season.

In addition, a change in the squad is sought: players like Ibrahima Cisse and Bryan Lasme may face a change. With this targeted increase in the squad, the Schalke managers want to bring fresh wind into the team and consolidate the emerging services. So the royal blue could find the connection to the upper half of the table and lay the foundation for a successful second half of the season.
