Schalke 04 | Time to break: Grammozis' brisant absence

Already during the week, FC Schalke 04 announced that head coach Dimitrios could complain about cold symptoms and therefore not the training can be guided. On Thursday then the certainty followed: Grammars has infected with the coronavirus and has to go into domestic isolation. At the upcoming top game at the leaders FC St. Pauli, the German Greek will not be able to sit on the S04 bank — a break to the inappropriate.

Against FC St. Pauli, Grammars is represented by his co-trainers Mike Buskers and Sven Piepenbrock. A fate that GRAMZOZIS shares with his also at Covid-19 patients against Time Schultz, the signs could hardly be more different.

While Schultz with the Hamburgers is partly more than in the target convincing appearances and thus on the rise course, Grammars ranked with the scarce six points behind only on the sixth place.

Sure, the violent complete break after the crashing descent from the German upper house did not expect that the Schalke would play the second division competition in the ground and floor. The distance to the relegation place three is after 15 but also only two counters. And yet Grammars does not really sit in the saddle.

New is the situation for the 43-year-old. Quasi Since its appointment to the coach on Schalke Grammars is always critically eyed. The yield of a lean victory from the last five commodities (three bankruptcies, a draw) should not really relax the situation. That Grammars can not influence his FC Schalke 04 on the weekend (Saturday, 20:30) in the stadium, therefore carries a very special explosive.

Euro fighter, Marcher, Club Idol on the bench of FC Schalke 04

In the person of Mike Buskers sits then a co-coach on the bench, which has already been traded several times as a chief coach in the past. But that's not enough: as a longtime player of the scarce, part of the legendary Euro fighter and prototype of the Marchers celebrated in the Purport, a picture draws a picture, after which few fans of Gelsenkirchen had long for a long time.

Buskers himself, of course, has never exceeded the border and to demand as a grammars' assistant openly more, with a well-behaved even convincing success against the leader, however, the automatism should take at least media from alone.

Especially as Schalke's Mike Büskenss director Rouen Schröder on Thursday opposite Sky open a problem of the previous season: Against the lower ones we will meet our favorite role [...] The fact is also that we are heavily ranging against teams from the upper tablet entry and also the results Not achieved. The May you please change, so Schröder's clear demand in the direction of trainer and team.

That this yearning in the face of the lean preparation — Grammars had no contact since the home win against Tannhauser no more to the team — against the league leader, is now calculated on wakens.

However, on a coach Busker you have nearly perfect memories at FC Schalke: 2007/08 the native Düsseldorf jumped once, at that time as an interim coach for the failed Miro Slovak. The yield: six games, five victories, a draw and only a single goal. Now the Schalke would be enough for the time being a win in the top game.
