Check out this post on Instagram
Around 80 ultras with a need to speak had gathered at the West Entrance after the game.
"That was okay today, but you have to add a few percent more for the derby," demanded the ultras spokesman and made it clear: "The derby is the most important game of the year. You go out there and give it your all. You can lose that , but it depends on the way. "
At the same time he announced: "If you don't present yourselves at least the way you do today, then we'll see each other again. But then it won't be so peaceful. Has that arrived?"
At the end there were a few more swearing words: "200 percent! From everyone! For Schalke! Let's go!"
Loud clapping followed.
The fans, who had not been among the 300 spectators in the stadium before, had come to the arena especially to talk to the team.
Riether: Demand: "That was rather motivating. There was a debate. The fans made us hot for the derby."
It is normal that, given the long wait for a win, it "gets noisy", said Riether: "That is pressure that has to go. That is understandable. Normally, the fans can let it out in the stadium. • • • • • # s04 #schalke # fcschalke04 # schalke04 #gelsenkirchen #derby #ruhrpott #ultra #ultras #bundesliga #fans

The pressure before the “most important game of the year” in the coal pot is therefore immense.
If one of the players didn't understand that yet, his own
Ultras wrote it
thick behind his ears.
They gathered after the Union game with around 80 men in front of the
Veltins Arena
and made
an announcement to
coach
Manuel Baum's
team
.
The reported
Bild
(article behind a payment barrier).
“That was okay today.
But you still have to add a few percent more.
The derby is the most important game of the year.
You go out there and give it your all.
You can lose that ”, start the ardent followers, still quite motivating.
But then it gets a lot more serious:
Schalke Ultras: "Then it won't be so peaceful!"
“But it depends on the way.
If you don't present yourself at least as you do today, we'll see you again.
But then it won't be so peaceful.
Did that arrive?
200 percent!
Of each!
For Schalke - let's go! ”What sounds like a clear threat is interpreted by
Sascha Riether
as more of a“ pronunciation ”.
The head of the licensed player department said soothingly:
“The fans made us hot for the derby.
It is normal for it to get loud after so many games without a win.
That's pressure, it has to go, that's understandable.
Normally the fans can let it out in the stadium. ”This is
currently not possible
due to the
corona pandemic *
.
Hopefully the pressure will only be relieved verbally after the game.
Although that doesn't seem to help with some Schalke fans either.
Individuals at the U19 derby caused a racism scandal in which BVB talent
Youssoufa Moukoko was
loudly insulted.
