(10.12.2002) The 4-1 reverse against Wisla Krakow was Schalke's highest ever
home defeat in European competition. And although general manager Rudi
Assauer refused to condemn his players after the game, he did rub salt in one
or two wounds. "It's been a very depressing day, almost comparable with the
day we lost the league title. I was absolutely convinced we would get the
better of them over two matches".
Wisla's goals were symptomatic for the 58-year-old former pro: "Even their
first goal resulted from a counterattack. There was no reason to leave the
defence open in that situation. And when it's 1-1 at half-time I expect more
discipline. But before their second goal we give the ball away, commit a foul
and then the smallest player on the pitch heads the free-kick in". But the
mistakes weren't made only in defence, he said. "Although they didn't do it
on purpose, Sand and Agali should have made better use of their chances. It
was one of those days when we would have been better off staying in bed".
Yet Assauer was reluctant to announce any countermeasures in the immediate
aftermath of the defeat, saying. "On Saturday we're playing in Munich and
then we've got a long, long break". But he did give the current squad
something to think about during their time off: "There's a difference
compared to the team of 1997. Those players were a team. If our current
players were to play as a team, they would achieve more. There are plenty of
players who give their all to be successful - but not all of them do..."
