The club sporting director stresses on the importance of all three points in the away game and is confident of a favourable result.
Die Knappen had a sensational first-half of the season but certainly have looked out of sorts after the winter break. The team has dropped to fourth on the Bundesliga standings table and are now a staggering eight points behind
leaders, Borussia Dortmund.
Heldt claimed that Freiburg showed what they are capable of when they drew 0-0 against Bayern in their last home game. He admitted that it will not be an easy match for the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Royal-95-c40387 Blues as they are already short on confidence after
last week’s defeat at the hands of the Bavarians.
The chief stressed on the importance of all three points as he wants Schalke to climb the standings table. He admitted that his side cannot afford to underestimate the opposition as they have a good defence and are very good when
attacking on counter.
“In their last home game against Bayern they showed they're an awkward team to play. It certainly won't be easy and we can't afford to underestimate them. Nevertheless our aim has to be to come away with the points,” he was quoted
as saying in an interview.
The director of sport also shared his view on players suffering injuries while on international duty. He stated that it becomes difficult for the club when one of the main players suffers an injury and is ruled out for the next
few games. He was referring to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 at Wembley earlier this week.
“Obviously it's difficult for the clubs to have to release so many players at this stage of the season. And when players pick up injuries, as Klaas-Jan Huntelaar has done, it does annoy you. It's something we have to live with,
however,” he concluded.
Schalke will take on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SC-Freiburg-c40462 at the badenova Stadium on Saturday, March 3, in search of their 15th win of the ongoing season. A win can take them to the third spot, at least for 24 hours, as Borussia Monchengladbach
play their respective game on Sunday against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/1-FC-Nuremberg-c38162.
