Alex Král has a new job. On Thursday, he signed for the famous Schalke 04. He will spend the entire upcoming season in the team from Gelsenkirchen, during which he will want to repair his tarnished reputation. And he will have an excellent starting position, he could have a high position in the club.
Leipzig had to bow, Tedesco congratulates the winner
Schalke returns to the cream of Germany and tries to strengthen the squad. So far, 11 reinforcements have been brought in permanently. However, the biggest one is Alex Král. He is now one of the most valuable players of the Gelsenkirchen team.
However, Schalke was not the only one interested in the Czech footballer. It had to compete with Leipzig and Hertha Berlin. In addition, Leipzig had the advantage of being led by coach Domenico Tedesco, under whom Král shone in the Spartak Moscow jersey.
Tedesco is, among other things, a former coach of Schalke itself. That is why he had no choice but to congratulate the winner of the fight for the King.
“Congratulations to Schalke on a great deal. In short, Alex is a very good player. In addition, there is a lot going on. I know the Schalke fans and I think they will like it.” the current coach of Leipzig for the German commented Sky.
The king will have a high position in the club
Alex Král is now inexplicably under fire from the Czech public. The reason is the unsuccessful engagement at West Ham, where he practically did not get a chance to show what he can actually do. His lack of play was also transferred to the national team. And it was his nomination to it that did not help him much in the favor of the public.
The still only 24-year-old footballer has to prove that he has quality and potential. At least he will want to prove it to himself. In Germany, they don’t doubt him too much. After all, it was not for nothing that the more famous, however poorer Schalke started a fight with richer clubs to get him.
There are not many footballers with such potential in Schalke’s squad. Let alone in the midfield. The king will not only have a practically certain place in the starting line-up. Expectations and trust in him are even greater.
The former player of Slavia, Spartak Moscow or West Ham should be one of the main drivers. The only question is how Král will deal with it in his head, he is undoubtedly good at football.
The German media also sees the king as an important reinforcement
Even after the signing, the management of the A-team admitted that Král is an absolute dream player. To get such quality? Even Schalke fans didn’t count on that much. However, the fierce effort succeeded and after several weeks of courtship, everything is closed.
And the German media often evaluate Král’s contribution as key. According to them, the Czech footballer will provide much-needed stability to the German squad at the number six position. The King also receives great praise thanks to his lifestyle and the way he takes care of his body.
Of the three German clubs that have been talked about in connection with Alex, this is probably the best option. Hertha is in chaos after another unsuccessful season and the question is what will happen next. He might not have such a good position in Leipzig and would have to fight for a place.
However, in Schalke he will receive a lot of confidence, he comes almost as a savior. Moreover, Schalke seems to be going in the right direction after many bad years. He is strengthening in an interesting way, he is committed to conceptual work, and the goal is not just to save himself for this season, but to lay the foundations for a return to the places where a club with such a rich history belongs.
