Having lost to Borussia Dortmund recently, Schalke duo of Lewis Holtby and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alexander-Baumjohann-c4817 has apologised to fans for their team’s defeat.
Schalke travelled away to Signal Iduna Park on Saturday, November 26, for their local derby. Unfortunately, the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robert-Lewandowski-c31255 and Felipe Santana.
Schalke went behind early in the 16th minute and weren’t able to stage a comeback despite making several attempts at Dortmund’s goal.
The visitors made number of penetrations especially during the first half but were always denied by the home team’s resolute defence. Schalke attackers were also found guilty of wasting a couple of clear opportunities which could have drawn them level with the Black Yellows.
Both teams went into the dugout with Dortmund in front. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Felipe-Santana-c13545, in the second half, made the score line 2-0 with his 61st minute header, closing doors on the 2010/11 Champions League semi-finalists.
Huub Stevens’ men looked out of sorts during the second half and were completely outplayed by the hosts. As a result, Schalke dropped points at Signal Iduna Park and find themselves fifth on the league table with 25 points.
Despite making serious claims before the start of Saturday’s game, Lewis Holtby had to face humiliation afterwards after being criticised by a massive number of Schalke fans.
Holtby ensured his fans of a win over the reigning German champions who went into the game, carrying the burden of a defeat to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 in the Champions League.
While spreading apologies on twitter, the midfielder further enthused:
"Mega sh*t!!! An apology to all Schalke fans. Many thanks for your support anyway!!!"
Holtby’s teammate, Baumjohann, also apologised to the fans and urged them to stay patient and continue supporting their team in the future. "Today we have not risen to the challenge that was presented to us. The disappointment is huge, but we must look ahead now." Baumjohann concluded.
