Schalke: huge protests! THIS banner was overlooked

Gelsenkirchen. Schalke – Bavaria should be a soccer festival. But suddenly the game became a minor matter.

Before the duel in the DFB Cup between Schalke – Bavaria fans and experts had already suspected that such scenes would occur.

DFB Cup: Giant poster at the game Schalke – Bavaria

Background: In the past few weeks, fans of various Bundesliga clubs, some of them tasteless posters and banners, had expressed their displeasure with the collective penalty Borussia Dortmund had received. BVB will have to do without their fans in the two upcoming seasons in their away games in Hoffenheim, because some BVB supporters have repeatedly mobbed Dietmar Hopp with banners and chants against Hoffenheim patrons.

In some games in the past few weeks, the referees had interrupted the games for a short time, for example when fans presented Hopp’s crosshair in the crosshairs or banners with tasteless rabble.

“Dementer Football Association”

For the game in the DFB Cup between Schalke and Bayern, many football fans and experts had expected that similar scenes would occur. Immediately after kick-off, the S04 Ultras rolled out huge banners on the north curve.

The message that apparently came from the Ultras Gelsenkirchen: “Dementer Fußball Bund: Commitment against collective penalties forgotten, you are now trying to blackmail us fans with abandoned games.”

This large banner was also shown on the TV broadcasts on ARD and Sky and was discussed by the commentators. Another poster, however, went under completely.

“If we now show a son of a bitch …”

In the corner of the arena, where the Hugos group usually resides, there was a banner that corresponded to the typically rough humor of this fan group: “If we now show a son of a bitch, you will stop playing, and we make it to penalties? “

Another two halftime posters from Schalke and Bavaria

At the beginning of the second half there were posters from UGE and Hugos. This time there were plenty of protests against the board of their own heart association. A large banner on the north curve said: “The media are screaming and Schalke is speaking. Again, there is no thought. Clean, board! “

And from the corner of the Hugos it was said at first: “You betrayed the values ​​of our association with Tönnies. Save yourself your comments. “

Later there was another banner from the corner: “Anyone sitting in the glass house should first speak to Clemens Tönnies. You hypocrite! “

Schalke – Bavaria: So the game went

The Schalke started bravely and had a huge chance through Guido Burgstaller. After a cross from Weston McKennie, the S04 striker hit the crossbar.

With increasing playing time, Bayern came into the game better and became more and more dominant. Joshua Kimmich gave the visitors the lead in the 40th minute with a shot from the edge of the box.

Coutinho to the crossbar

In the second half, the Munich team remained the dominant team. The greatest chance for an early decision was given by Coutinho (62nd), who hit the crossbar from 14 meters.

Because Schalke lacked the necessary punch in the final phase, Bayern brought victory over time. The royal blue had maneuvered itself into one or the other promising situation. Once again, it was above all the final weakness that stood in the way of a sensation. Guido Burgstaller, Benito Raman and Rabbi Matondo missed promising chances for a Schalke goal.

—————-

Given the two clear Bayern victories at Chelsea (3: 0) and Hoffenheim (6: 0), the narrow defeat for FC Schalke 04 should still be a minor success. Now the Wagner team wants to make the final U-turn in their home game against Hoffenheim in order to be able to stand up to the strong BVB players at the subsequent district derby (March 14).

Europa League as a goal

Even if the qualification for the European Cup at Schalke was never officially declared a goal for the season, Schalke can only defend sixth place in the remaining season games.

The field around the European Cup places has been brought together again by the latest results. After 24 matchdays, Schalke in 6th place and Freiburg in 9th place are just three points apart – Frankfurt and Cologne are also lurking with a catch-up game in hand for connecting to the international places.

Looking forward to the derby

Although the game against Hoffenheim is still pending, most Schalke fans are already thinking about March 14th. Because then S04 is a guest at the district derby at arch-rival Borussia Dortmund.

Wagner: “Must not close eyes”

Schalke coach David Wagner does not want to talk over the recent crisis: “We must not close our eyes to reality. We need explanations, we have to find solutions.”

After the 0-1 win against Bayern, Wagner also made it clear: “We got confidence from this game – and the knowledge that we can play good football and create opportunities with a new system. It makes me feel good. “
