Schalke manager Ralf Rangnick is confident of turning the tables on Finnish side HJK Helsinki in the second round of the qualifying play-off at home. He stated that the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Royal-95-c40387 Blues have comeback strongly after the opening day loss
to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfB-Stuttgart-c40879 in the Bundesliga with two wins and hopes that the team is also up for the task in the European fixture.

was left out of the first encounter due to injury.
The manager claimed that his side defeated http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/1-FSV-Mainz-05-c38166 last week after being 2-0 down at half-time by scoring four goals after the interval. He hailed the spirit of the players and insisted that the team is well capable of pulling
in a great result in the end.
“A team capable of scoring four goals in one half after going 2-0 behind against Mainz are more than capable of scoring four goals in 90 minutes at home to Helsinki,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
Rangnick also added that he will regularly rotate the squad in the coming games to make sure all the players remain fit and get playing time. He also hinted that former Real Madrid striker could be on the bench for the second-leg
as he does not want to rush him so early after his recovery from injury.
“We've decided that we'll rotate regularly in the future whether it's controversial or not. We've talked it all through and explained that we'll leave him out of a game every now and then. It's possible that Raul will be on the
bench or in the stands on occasion in order to protect him,” he concluded.
Schalke need to win by three goals to make sure they progress to the group stages of the UEFA Europa League this season, without conceding any away goals.
