For his size and his Job as a striker-has Davie Selke over an almost delicate in stature. His calves, for example, are thinner than in the case of some adults, the forearms. Nevertheless, sehnigem body plenty of energy, what was to be seen on Friday evening shortly before halftime of the game between Hertha BSC and FC Schalke 04 to put in Selkes. After Selke was with the one and a half heads smaller Schalke Sebastian Rudy to each other, have three adult Berlin-based intervention to their colleagues from physical beatings to stop. The striker of the Berlin Bundesliga club was also with a lot of energy on the go. Not always, but he managed to steer them in the right direction.
“He’s a little bit uptight,” said Pal Dardai, Herthas coach, the Morning after the 2:2 at home against Schalke. After five minutes, Selke had the great Chance to give the game the right way. In the penalty area of Chelsea, he came in a promising Position on the Ball. He tried it himself, instead of passing to the better post archived storm colleague Vedad Ibisevic in the middle – and eventually failed on the leg of the Schalke defender Matija Nastasic.
Selke come so far only to a goal in 17 Games
Davie Selke is a striker through and through, he needs goals like a Panda his daily Serving of bamboo, but since some time already by Selke lives cold Turkey. At the beginning of November, at 1:4 in Düsseldorf, Germany, has taken the 24-Year – old most recently for Hertha it was the stakes, his only goal this season is now 17. Such a poor rate he had in his four full seasons in the League. Of course, also due to the fact that the Selke has not played after his lung injury from the preparation in the first weeks of the season and later, often only in the final phase came on as a substitute. But even in his second year in Leipzig, when he was almost just a replacement, he had taken after 17 operations at least twice already.
“at the moment I have a Phase in which the scoring is a bit tricky,” said Selke. “But such phases are for a striker is quite normal. I’ll take it as it is.“ By luck, he is not pursued at the conclusion at the moment definitely. A week ago, during the second kick-off in Nuremberg, he met the post. On Friday against Schalke, he looked in the second half, a duel with Alexander Nübel exposed to – and failed at the goalkeeper of the guests. Coach Dardai conferred briefly with Selke, told him to “just relax” and to keep trying. If it is wrong, he will not be for sure pissed. However, a further Chance was in the game for the striker. “Such a Phase, we accept,” said Dardai. Eventually, the Ball will bounce to him, then from the ear to the gate.
Annoying for Hertha was the scene of alone in the fifth Minute, as a Selke had made the wrong decision and Hertha so perhaps the 1:0. “If we go against Schalke in the lead, we would win a giant had a chance to,” said Dardai. Instead, the guests scored the 1:0 and 2:1. “Twice a chase and then go with 2:2 home, which is a great thing”, was Herthas coach.
at The Moment, the work of Selke and Ibisevic good
How important is the first goal for Berlin, shows a view into the statistics. After a 1:0 lead Herthas team this season only once lost (1:2 in Stuttgart), and six times they won the two encounters ended in a draw. Out of a possible 27 points, the Berlin picked up 20. After a 0:1 deficit to only one victory (against Gladbach) and only seven points (out of a possible 24). “In the Bundesliga a lot of games are decided by the first goal,” says Vedad Ibisevic.
The Bosnians is Herthas specialist for 1:0. 17 Times he managed to do that already, last week in Nuremberg, Germany. The groundwork was Davie Selke, also admitted on Friday to Ibisevics eighth goal of the season with the Assist. A total of Selke’s coming this season on seven templates. The are now more than ever before in the course of a season. For coach Dardai is not that surprising. “This is long-term work,” he says. In Nuremberg, the forward sent the Ball after a double pass exactly into the path of Ibisevic. “It’s a huge progress that he makes a clean Pass,” says Dardai. “In the past, he would have been with his thoughts already one step ahead.”

This is beautiful.“ And then, when some time later, Davie Selke.
