Jens Keller did not like. No, coach of FC Schalke 04 already he wanted to stay still. But he did not talk about himself. Questions about how he Bypass with the extremes and the recurring discussions whether he was the right person for the FC Schalke 04, the 43-year-old responded increasingly annoyed. “I have no desire to talk about my person. You talked about me now 22 months. It’s about the team and the club and not to my person, “Keller stressed before the lean 1: 1 draw against Maribor in the Champions League in late September.

After the 2: 1 derby win against Dortmund “eternal bounceback” Keller was a hero again. Only a week earlier than you when lean 2: had again missed the first win of the season against Eintracht Frankfurt 2, wished the coach quite a few fans to the devil. No wonder that the basement ups and downs was contrary. “Two weeks ago I was laid off. Today I will be irredeemable. That’s me in both directions to extreme. “Even the newspaper study had reduced cellar, if it came to him:” I do not read all that much.

That basement cheered and was again asked shortly afterwards questioned, the club had at least jointly responsible. Even if the situation was not better before Heldts precautionary contacting the former Mainz coach Thomas Tuchel transpired.

In chronically nervous and emotional environment at Schalke everything is a little extreme. And Keller possessed certainly not about the charisma of Bavaria Pep Guardiola or the rhetorical skills and showmanship of BVB coach Jürgen Klopp. This was perseverance and his cool handling of the continuous criticism more than admirable.
