Schalke Manager Christian Heidel had extremely predicted bad reviews, and that’s exactly the one he got. The sale of the well-esteemed defense chiefs and age President Naldo, 36, to AS Monaco in the professional world, a lack of understanding and in the king blue community of fans of Trouble and lamentation. You can agree on in football-Land prevailed: How can you give just a player, one of the most prestigious figures in the scene belongs to, the players loved, and a few months ago, still a contender for the Oscar as the most valuable player in the Bundesliga? Blueberry knew what people would say about him and his strange Association – and granted, nevertheless the release: “with a Heavy heart,” it was decided “to meet the desire of the player”.
However, Schalke 04 have received in these turbulent days of encouragement from a luminary, which is notorious in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, well-known as well. Still some of the employees of the Association winces when he hears the name of Felix Magath, but this time the former General joined the Director, surprisingly, as an advocate of the Chelsea personnel policy, if not in terms of Naldo. Instead, Magath praised the reactivation of Seppo Eichkorn, 62, of the since the beginning of the year the staff to head coach Domenico Tedesco, 33, reinforced that this was “a very good choice and a great solution for both sides”.
Once merchandise has been removed pulled Magath and Eichkorm together through the country, they did Good in Stuttgart, Munich and Wolfsburg, and for a while in Gelsenkirchen – until the boss there in the spring of 2011 due to the despotic dictates of the service. At this point, the ten-year-long connection between the master and the Paladin ended: While Magath went to Wolfsburg, remained Eichkorn at Schalke. In the next few years he assisted the most diverse football teachers, Ralf Rangnick and Huub Stevens, he then joined the Scouting Department of the club.
Without Naldo saw Schalke’s football, week in and week out, even better
The identity of Naldo and Eichkorn have nothing to do with each other, you go back, but both on the Initiative of Domenico Tedesco. And each in their own way they reveal the problems, in the tradition of the Association with his young Trainer maneuvers. While Tedesco is not insured by the taking of Eichkorn of the experience of a veteran expert, what stops Magath is commendable, he left it in the case of Naldo to those properties are missing, which should bring the new helper: practical reason and the insight into old football wisdom.
not wanted Tedesco, the leader Naldo is leaving the Team, to be more precise, he was even not at all pleased when he learned of it; on the other hand, he is, however, decisive, responsible, that, in the long-assimilated Brazilians in the high-footballer-old has yet to leave the country, although he was at Schalke already settled. Naldo wanted to play football, in this relationship he had Years the ambition of an 18 -, blueberry said, but this pleasure has failed Tedesco, and that the coach showered the former chief defender with compliments, while he carried him week in and week out on the reserve Bank, felt this as increasingly strange. Without Naldo Schalke football, also week not looked better. Salif Sané as the successor to brought better running values, but no better effect on the game. The idea of both together, had adopted Tedesco early in the first half of the season.
Shortly before Christmas, reported Naldos a consultant with the exchange looking at blueberry, the the end, nothing else was left than to weigh one concern against the other concerns: on the one Hand, it would not make a player, the only (and uncontested) a good footballer, but also a symbol of integration. “Dad,” Naldo was the popular person of respect, to which all professionals of this complicated composed team like to have heard. On the other hand, was blueberry clear about the fact that he could dictate to his coach, no use of warranty for Naldo.
The Manager knew the foreign policy damage, the bad headlines and outraged reactions from the Fans, but even more he feared the domestic political Trouble, if he would be a failure of Naldo the desired change. So he agreed to the sale, and now he must find the so-dreary expensive winter transfer market for a replacement solution, Tedesco has already logged in to urgent claims. The restart of this wayward season have imagined the Schalke otherwise.
