Thomas Reis prefers to experiment with Dominick Drexler instead of letting Danny Latza play in his home position. At Schalke, the captain remains in the second guard.

Dominick Drexler played from defensive midfield in Schalke 04’s last friendly. Thomas Reis explained that he would rather risk this experiment than allow Danny Latza to play in his actual position.

The ongoing absence of Alex Kral, who will be out for at least January and not play for Schalke, could be a very good chance for Danny Latza. The captain is at home in defensive midfield and could convince Thomas Reis to step in as a substitute. As a result, he could make it from the bench to the starting XI if he can take that chance.

At least that’s the theory. The Kral outage would give Latza a chance to show off. In all likelihood, however, it will not come to that.

Latza would offer itself – but Reis prefers to experiment with Drexler

Instead of letting Latza play in his home position, Reis prefers to experiment with Dominick Drexler. This was also evident in the test match against 1. FC Nürnberg: Drexler played as a six and even dropped into the defensive line in the build-up game. A role that is quite unusual for him.

This experiment can be seen all the more clearly as a slap for Latza. For another player to take on an unfamiliar task while at home and on the bench is a clear sign of a lack of confidence in his abilities.

“Currently, the staff is not there in the position because Alex is out. He’s someone who likes to let himself go because he doesn’t have the opposition pressure,” Reis explained the starting position and then executed (via WAZ): “We wanted to build up with three men against Nuremberg, so it was inevitable that Domme came through the center or even fell sideways. That way we were often able to outplay the opponent’s front row.”

“We have Danny, but…”: Reis speaks out in favor of Drexler

Not only does the coach defend this attempt – he even draws a cautiously positive conclusion. And that’s not all: when asked about the alternative Latza, he even speaks out in favor of Drexler: “We have Danny, who could do it theoretically and practically, but Domme has a very fine little foot, very good passing game and the courage to allude to let.”

Skills that he attributes to Drexler and thus also denies Latza. The native of Gelsenkirchen should not like that at all. rice not only softens his position as captainbut banishes him – despite the kraal failure – to the second guard.

Apparently, the coach wants to continue the little experiment. This is also due to the fact that he does not see a clear role for Drexler: “The question is: who do I leave out for Drexler? Kozuki also had a great scoring chance against Nuremberg on the right, he does a good job. We have Marius Bülter on the left, in the middle Terodde.”

On the flank you now have “other types of players”. He can also “play in the center on the eight”, but it has now also worked on the six. At the next test, on Saturday afternoon against Werder Brementhis constellation should be tried again.
