FC Schalke 04 suffered another setback in the Bundesliga relegation battle. Royal Blue lost 4-0 to SC Freiburg on Sunday afternoon – and according to Danny Latza, was well served.
FC Schalke 04 looks competitive in their own stadium, but they are 17th in the table abroad. of the Bundesliga to contend with great difficulties. Two weeks ago, Schalke suffered a deserved 2-0 defeat at TSG Hoffenheim, followed by a 4-0 defeat against SC Freiburg on Sunday, who were clearly superior after 26-9 shots on target.
Latza: “Were never involved in the game”
S04 captain Danny Latza found clear words for the performance in Breisgau. “Today we’re leaving the pitch as losers. We weren’t really in the game at any point, Freiburg could have scored more goals,” said Latza DAZN. The plan to build on the performance from the previous win against Hertha BSC (5: 2) “didn’t work at all,” said Latza, who explained: “We didn’t get into the duels at all, the plan we set out to do , only partially worked out. We played far too slowly, didn’t find the men between the lines, didn’t look for the long ball to create danger.”
Latza still convinced of relegation
In a draw, Schalke would have 16th in the table. VfB Stuttgart can draw level, so the Royal Blues remain in a direct relegation zone with 24 points and are three points behind VfL Bochum, who are in 15th place. With Werder Bremen, Mainz 05, Bayern Munich, Eintracht Frankfurt and RB Leipzig, Schalke is faced with a remaining program that gives little hope of staying up in the league, but Latza has by no means lost his conviction: “The belief is absolutely there. We have games that we can draw, especially in the next game (against Bremen, ed.) in front of a home crowd. We would do well to get the next three points.” However, the challenge could hardly be greater, which is why doubts are justified.
