Daniel Thioune has completed his first training sessions as head coach at Fortuna Düsseldorf. FC Schalke 04 is coming on Sunday.
Fortuna Dusseldorf is in front of the Westschlager against the FC Schalke 04 (Sunday, 1.30 p.m., RevierSport-Live ticker) on a relegation relegation place. Daniel Thjonernew Fortuna coach, should pull Düsseldorf out of the mess.
And the soccer teacher, who most recently worked for Hamburger SV and VfL Osnabrück, already has concrete ideas for his new team. “Of course, as a coach you have ideas about how to organize a football game. And then you ask yourself which players can best implement these ideas. The last three days of training are not enough for that, so I have to focus on the television pictures of the last few weeks and left my coaching staff. I gave the players advice on how we want to play against and with the ball. I expect my team to give everything and put love on the pitch. We need results, but um We still need a few weeks to place a few playful things,” said the 47-year-old at the press conference before the Schalke game.
You don’t let yourself be unsettled by a deficit, you could see that against Regensburg. They have quality on offense and on the bench. Schalke are clear in their game, we know about the challenges.

With the exception of Adam Bodzek, Emmanuel Iyoha, Edgar Prib and Kristoffer Peterson, Thioune will be able to draw on his entire squad at his Fortuna premiere in front of 10,000 spectators in the Düsseldorf Arena. “I haven’t seen 10,000 spectators in the stadium for a long time. I’m really keen on it. Of course I’m tense, but so that I can’t get emotional. I’m clear about what I want,” says the ex -Professional.
On the FC Schalke 04 Thioune has a high opinion. He says: “Schalke have developed stability and self-image in the last few weeks. They don’t let themselves be unsettled quickly by being behind, you could see that against Regensburg. They have quality on the offensive and also on the bench. Schalke is clear in their game, we know the challenges.”
That with the opponent a certain Simon Terodde – 17 games, 15 goals – plays in attack, of course Thioune also knows. Thioune also has a plan in mind to stop Terodde. “If you break it down: You try to get Simon into spaces where he can’t pose as much of a goal threat. At the weekend we’ll have to put him on the chain a bit. Of course it will be difficult to eliminate him for 90 minutes, but we do everything for it,” he explained.
