Schalke's coach, Muslic, discusses the fresh atmosphere at the club
Schalke Climbs to Second Place in 2. Bundesliga After Hard-Fought Victory
Schalke have climbed to second place in the 2. Bundesliga following a hard-fought victory against Dresden, thanks to a penalty kick by captain Kenan Karaman in the 84th minute.
The win, which saw several Schalke players not at their best, was celebrated by coach Miron Muslic, who praised the team's determination. "The new Schalke is a team that is not afraid to face challenges and grow from them," Muslic said.
Muslic also expressed his satisfaction with the team's improvement, particularly in their shooting statistics, which he has worked to improve over the last two years. Defender Timo Becker, who shares Muslic's perspective, also expressed concerns about relying too heavily on set pieces and individual actions to win games.
Despite the victory, Muslic acknowledged that the 2. Bundesliga is a challenging league, especially when playing against teams like Dresden. He emphasized the importance of defensive stability and strengthening the defence for Schalke in the coming weeks.
Looking ahead, Muslic plans to set new priorities for Schalke once his professionals are fully fit again. He referred to his substitutes as "game-changers" for Schalke and believes that they will play a crucial role in the team's success.
Muslic did not specifically name any players as "playmaker" in the available search results, but he did consider the new spirit of Schalke to be characterized by not running away from challenges, but growing with them.
With the team on a good path under Muslic's leadership, Schalke fans can look forward to an exciting second half of the season as the team continues to grow and improve.
