Schalke 04 on course for promotion: Coach Muslic inspires the fans!
The mood at Schalke 04 couldn't be better at the moment! On November 3, 2025, the club will be at the top of the 2nd Bundesliga and has already gained an impressive lead with 24 points from ten games. The team is in excellent form under coach Miron Muslic and only conceded five goals - that's a league record and makes the fans' hearts beat faster. Schalke is pursuing the goal of establishing itself in the upper midfield of the league with great determination, as Ruhr24 reports.
What makes Schalke’s game so special? It is characterized by a clear, compact style of play and a new self-confidence that has often been missing in the last two years. An example that illustrates this change was a spectacular scene in the game against Darmstadt, where four players put pressure on an opponent in the opposing half and won the ball. This shows the new concept that the team is pursuing.
Careful planning and clear goals
Despite the current success, the club management remains realistic. Immediate promotion to the Bundesliga is not mandatory. Instead, the club should focus on continuity and team success when returning to the elite top. Particular attention is paid to individual player development. An example of this is Soufiane El-Faouzi, whose market value has increased tenfold since his move from Alemannia Aachen.
This development is exemplary of the new course that the club is taking. The focus is clearly on the hope of promoting transitioning talent and stabilizing the team in the long term. So Schalke remains a club for the fans with the prospect of sporting heights.
A look at the resistance
In a completely different context, the world of financial markets is currently causing excitement. For example, tech giant Meta Platforms (META) fell on its face after releasing its quarterly results, posting declines in after-hours trading, which is also drawing attention. According to Yahoo Finance, revenue exceeded analysts' expectations, but the massive tax expense of almost $16 billion raises questions and unsettles investors.
These developments in the economy are an interesting contrast to Schalke's sporting successes, which show us how differently luck and failure are characterized in different areas of life. While football seems to be heading straight up, companies in other sectors are struggling to maintain investor confidence.
It remains to be seen whether Schalke 04 can continue their impressive run and whether Meta will emerge from the current crisis. The only thing that is certain is that the events on both playgrounds remain exciting.
