Frank Kramer counts as counted. The Schalke 04 coach asks the team council for support while Thomas Reis is already standing by.
After the next defeat, Frank Kramer is under special observation at Schalke 04. In order to save his post and make the team more successful, he asked for help from the team council. Nevertheless, Thomas Reis is already casting his shadow ahead.
The 0:4 defeat against Bayer Leverkusen showed – despite all the qualitative differences in the squad – how powerless and defenseless Schalke are these days. While the defense is flawed, there is actually no offensive at all.
Because Frank Kramer’s decisions didn’t work out again, such as the already very controversial double strike from Simon Terodde and Sebastian Polter, he is now under a lot of pressure. After the game, the sporting leadership was “extremely disappointed”. The club communicated: “The coaching staff around Frank Kramer, the team, we are all challenged to show an improved performance in all respects against Hoffenheim.”
Against the TSG Hoffenheim So on Friday night, Kramer will definitely still be on the bench, if not a little longer.
Kramer with a crisis meeting: Switching to a chain of five conceivable
In order for a trend reversal to succeed in the home game, the coach has a report from the picture according to now asked the team council for help. There was a crisis meeting with about ten players. Recently, several media had reported that at least part of the team could not cope with the destructive style of play and would criticize it.
However, Kramer will not be able to overturn the entire match plan, insofar as one can be identified at all. Rather, it should have been about the switch to a five-man chain and the replacement of Maya Yoshida as chief of defense. Its blatant speed deficits were once again clear on Saturday.
Apparently the hope: With three central defenders, of which there is currently only one right with Leo Greiml – apart from Yoshida – the defensive is strengthened. The Japanese may also play, but no longer as a leader in defense. Then this basic order would be able to conceal his speed deficit somewhat.
In the background, however, the planning is still going on. While Rouven Schröder has repeatedly defended his trainer in recent weeks and sometimes even focused on supposed progress, he is slowly but surely forced to act.
In the case of Kramer being thrown out: Rice should already be ready
Normally, Kramer has to pack his things, at the latest when they lose again to Hoffenheim and the completely uninspired style of play is still on the agenda. The problem: These concerns were predictable. If you order Kramer, you get Kramer delivered.
Noisy picture A successor should already be available with Thomas Reis. After the defeat at Schalke VfL Bochum The dismissed coach showed last year how a financially weak club can stay in the league. Even with the 3-1 win over Schalke, VfL was not inferior in terms of play.
