drained the team of The FC Schalke and contrary to totter to the end of the season. Injury problems and lack of leadership to put the station club powerful. Head of sports, Schneider announces consequences. And the Club Patron has other problems.

Gelsenkirchen (dpa) - The crisis of the FC Schalke 04 will remain for the duration of the condition, and not without consequences. In their last 15 Games, the team is without a win, and the never-ending negative series to the football League, powerful. On Sunday's sports Director, Jochen Schneider announced consequences.

"So it can't go on," said the 49-Year-old a day after the 1:4 against VfL Wolfsburg, the "Ruhr Nachrichten". Coach David Wagner, but may make more. A few weeks ago made a Job-guarantee for the frustrated Wagner Schneider renewed on Sunday. He had Years to "100 percent" confidence in Wagner's work, said the 49.

A day earlier, Wagner's statements were made by holding slogans sounded: "After a 1:4 defeat something Positive to pull out, is difficult. Nevertheless, we will try the next Saturday in Freiburg to win."

prior to the game against Wolfsburg Wagner had announced, to analyze the sporty crash in the back round with the Management team and to explore the causes for the crash. This is now done well. Appropriate consequences shall be announced according to Schneider after the final game of the season next Saturday at SC Freiburg. "We're in a very, very bitter Phase. I can apologize to every Schalke-Fan for the services delivered, the team largely in the past few months," Schneider said.

Previously, he and Alexander Jobst as members of the Board were submerged more or less. Also Club Patron Clemens Tönnies is not suitable as a crisis Manager on Schalke currently. The 64-year-old entrepreneur is due to the dramatic Corona outbreak in his meat Empire, currently under a lot of pressure and has much more severe problems. Because he is under so-called work of quarantine, he could not follow the game in the Arena live.

Even with a victory in the Breisgau, and would lay the completely messed-up Schalke back round with only one win to start off the year against Borussia Mönchengladbach (2:0), nine defeats and six draws will not save. A way out of the misery is not in sight, especially since staffed in the season finale, nothing fundamental improved. On the contrary, The FC Everton borrowed rights defenders Jonjoe Kenny has played his last game in a Schalke Jersey is missing, locked in Freiburg, yellow.

So Schalke contrary to totter to the end of the season. Brave captain Daniel Caligiuri tries to motivate his teammates: "The heads play a big role. We must not, in the future, think to be so negative, at the Moment, it falls to us as a team, but very difficult," said the 32-Year-old. "We will fight until the end of the season and must try to stop in Freiburg, what to take with you and the crisis."

But that can torment the depleted Team with many inexperienced young professionals in the Breisgau again, it is hard to believe. The finishing position in the table is not quite insignificant, mainly because the distribution of the TV-depends on money of it. On the other hand - to put it in evil - has saved the struggling Club last a lot of prizes for the winners.

Obvious which part is the Offensive weakness in the second Season. All nine goals (33 goals conceded) brought Schalke. To search for alone in the case of Wagner the blame for the sports decline, would be unfair. Finally, it also stands for a considerable Hinserie, as his Team thanks to running intense Pressing of 30 points to be gained.

The huge injury problems since February with the loss of up to ten stem workers are not to rationalize, even if Wagner does hard this time and again as an excuse. To the gates of Wout Weghorst (16./56.), Kevin Mbabu (59.) and Joao Victor (70.) as well as the result of cosmetics by Rabbi Matondo (71.) he noted soberly: "We are taken on an opponent that has at the Moment a different Level than we are."
