Schalke 04's first game, managed by Thomas Reis, was lost 2-0 to SC Freiburg. Unsurprisingly, the hosts could hardly oppose the in-form team of Christian Streich.

There was very little time for Thomas Reis between his performance on Thursday morning and the kick-off of the first game. Expectations that a lot would change in Schalke's game were correspondingly low. After all, the defensive performance against SC Freiburg was, for the most part, at least okay, despite the two crucial goals conceded.

In the end, the guests deservedly prevailed with a 0:2. S04 currently has too little quality on the one hand and too little structure and self-confidence on the other hand to be able to imagine something against teams like Sport-Club.

Instead, there was the sixth defeat in a row. Most noteworthy were the changes in the starting eleven: Reis relied on his Bochum friend Sebastian Polter in attack because he had a better approach pattern than Simon Terodde. Florent Mollet also got another chance, as did Kenan Karaman. However, with Jordan Larsson, a good alternative had also failed.

In addition, the new coach held on to Alexander Schwolow in goal. The keeper did not make another mistake, which is why the goalkeeping debate can be expected to calm down for the time being. Now it's time for the first full week of training under rice.
