💪 Not just Džeko: What makes Schalke so strong this season | OneFootball

The result wasn't clear, but in the end, Schalke once again added three more points to their tally: Over the weekend, they won 1-0 against Arminia Bielefeld and solidified their position at the top of the table. 

Although the Royal Blues recently let a lot slip and at times lost furiously or shared the points, Schalke's Ron Schallenberg looked very optimistic about the future in the club's internal interview after the game. 

What makes S04 particularly strong this season? "When we take the lead, we are difficult to play against as a team," explained the midfielder. 

After taking the lead, the leader of the second Bundesliga has only lost once throughout the entire season. According to Schallenberg, managing leads is "a quality that distinguishes us as a team."

The loud fans can also support Schalke in the coming weeks, as one top match follows another. 

This does not cause fear in the Schalke locker room. According to Schallenberg, the team is eager to take on this challenge: "In the past two seasons, the situation at this point was completely different," said the midfielder. His team can perform much more freely this year and look forward to every game. 

What do you think? Will Schalke secure promotion, or could something still go wrong? Feel free to write it in the comments!
