Di Matteo had after 0: 3 announced at BVB to reconsider his defensive system. In Madrid, Schalke came again in the 5-3-2 now known. However, this was interpreted as offensive nor last. For example, the full-back off much a forward and were so defensive Umschaltspiel aware space behind free.
wingback Fuchs has with
It was interesting especially the presence of left-back Christian Fuchs in the first half. Real Madrid occupied its own right only very weak because right-back Alvaro Arbeloa rarely moved toward the sideline and the nominal right winger Gareth Bale was more frequently found in the center.
Max Meyer often waits front
were particularly dangerous Schalke on the break, because on the one hand Madrid to turnovers rarely access in got counter pressing and Schalke Max Meyer had on the field. The 19-year-old was the key player for Di Matteo’s team if they wanted to quickly move forward. The suspended Kevin-Prince Boateng missed that night no one.
Before the game, Meyer had said that getting ahead “do not pass” would. In Madrid, Meyer was about to refute itself.
Compared to the ultra-defensive performances of Schalke in the recent past, but also more players off with the lock-in. Meyer was, for example, in some situations, this somewhat earlier and speculated on a fast Umschaltangriff.

In addition to Meyer convinced also Leroy Sane, who came into the game in the first half for the injured attacker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting. Sane often dropped into midfield and use just like Meyer the holes between the rows of Madrileños for dribbling.
That for Schalke the great miracle, that is getting ahead forthcoming, was mainly due to defensive outs and lost Two battles within and outside his own penalty area. The trend towards more proactive orientation of the team was not necessarily responsible for these results. But Madrid clear in some scenes, the individual superiority

In addition, the Spaniards had after about an hour at a score of 3. 3 and the Substitutes Luka Modric for Sami Khedira Schalke increasingly under control. Against the compact 4-4-2 Pressing and fast combination of Kroos and Modric in the Central Di Matteo’s team had phased no means. Only the somewhat quaint 3: 4 goals from Huntelaar after a two-to-five-Umschaltsituation made the game exciting again
Overall, convinced Schalke especially on offense, because consciously more players on the counterattack. went forward and took off his caution Di Matteo. Thanks to a phased completely overwhelmed host this Champions League evening is the Schalke fans will be remembered in Madrid long
