If Rouven Schröder doesn't want to surprise all of Gelsenkirchen, or rather shock, then the 0:3 home defeat against TSG Hoffenheim on Friday evening was the last game under Frank Kramer's leadership.

Basically, S04 did not deliver a bad game. In the first half, the team showed commitment that has not been visible in recent weeks. The second half languished like this because the guests were able to downplay the game comfortably and without the greatest intensity.

But just because the royal blue could not be shown like the previous week, the solid first half cannot be seen as an argument for Kramer. After all, it became clear again: The defensive, on which he actually focuses, is not suitable for the Bundesliga in this form. There is still a lack of structure on the offensive. Schalke had the ball more often, with Alex Kral and Florent Mollet making a (unsurprisingly) good showing. But in the end the structure was missing to start something with the ball.

Two aspects for which the coach is responsible. The fact that Kramer even kept the line-up and the system secret from his own team until he arrived in the arena in order to keep the tension high, according to DAZN, proved to be ineffective afterwards. It may have been the coach's last appearance.
