Schalke's captain Karaman: Trainer not to blame for the crisis!

In the current Situation of Schalke 04 there is a lot of conversation. After the disappointing 3: 5 defeat against Darmstadt, there are questions about team performance and coach Karel Geraerts. Even the team captain Kenan Karaman commented on the allegations that are currently directed against the Schalke coaching team.

Karaman, the 30-year-old offensive player, emphasized that he was not intended to pass on the team's debt for the team's setbacks. "I know that the coaching questions will come, but I think the coach prepared us well for the game," he said after the game. This statement comes at a critical moment in which Schalke in the table of the 2nd Bundesliga is only on four points after six games.

fluctuating level of performance

In the first half of the game against Darmstadt, the team showed promising approaches and already led 3-0. But then the strong collapse came in the second half, which was not only painful for fans, but also questioned the self -confidence of the players. Karaman said: "We completely given away the second half." The team was able to implement the trainer's tactical requirements, but the concentration decreased strongly after the break, which had a fatal effect on the game result.

A central topic that Karaman spoke about was physical training. He pointed out clear indications that the team trains too little or that the training sessions would not be intensive enough. "I don't think we will train too little," he continued. According to his assessment, it could rather be due to psychological factors that influence the performance in the crucial moments. "Maybe it has something to do with the heads that we will then get the goals and then simply mentally fall off," said the captain.

These words may also be a glimmer of hope for the Schalke fans that it not only fails on the coach, but that further causes of the current form crisis have to be examined. The big question remains: How will the team play the next games to escape the downward spiral? Further information and opinions from the team are to be expected because the situation around Schalke is developing turbulent.

The 2nd Bundesliga is hard and the competition is not sleeping. While the viewers hope for an improvement, the team is working on stabilizing the performance on the pitch. Your next step could be crucial for whether you can free yourself from this precarious situation.
