Schalke 04 had a rough time in their recent friendly match against Leeds United, losing 0-2. The team’s strikers, Moussa Sylla and Kenan Karaman, are struggling to find their form, which is causing concern for the upcoming season. Schalke has had a tough preseason, failing to secure a win in their last three matches.
Despite the goal drought, midfielder Ron Schallenberg remains optimistic about the team’s performance in the league. The team needs to work on their quality and finishing in both defense and offense. While a new goalkeeper, Ron-Thorben Hoffmann, has shown promise, the decision on the starting lineup is still up in the air for the upcoming match against Eintracht Braunschweig.
Head coach Karel Geraerts remains confident despite the setbacks, stating that he is not nervous. With a strong belief in his team’s abilities, Geraerts is focused on refining their gameplay before the league begins. The team’s performance against Leeds United has highlighted areas that need improvement, and Schalke will be looking to bounce back in their next match.
