Schalke boss Huub Stevens insists Raul is a very important player for the club- Bundesliga news
Schalke manager Huub Stevens has insisted that striker Raul is a very important player for the club and his performances could be vital in the future games this season. He claimed that Raul’s experience could be of great help for
the side as he wants to capitalize on the good start to the season and challenge for trophies.
Former manager http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ralf-c30492 Rangnick stepped from his post due to health problems as he admitted that it would be impossible for him to continue. Huub Stevens was announced the new Schalke boss last week as he took over the vacant position
at Gelsenkirchen.
Stevens claimed that Raul’s problems with Rangnick are not his problem as it was the past. He insisted that the player has to be treated well at the club and he should know his importance in the side.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/PSV-c40281 Eindhoven manager stated that if Raul is played in the position he likes, he can be as good as Franck Ribery of Bayern Munich. He insisted that the Spaniard needs freedom in the attacking role which could result
in far more creative performances.
“What was before is not my point. Basically, I think that you cannot make every player the same. Raul does not have a wider stand with me. He has to feel good and be treated like Franck Ribery to Bayern. If you give such a creative
player a little more freedom, he gives the team a lot back,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
The tactician also hinted that the former Real Madrid striker could stay for another season at the club by signing a new contract. He stated that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Raul-c30652 is a thorough professional and has great love for the game of football.
“I am just only a week back at Schalke, cannot say yet. It is great fun to work with Raul. He is a super-professional and a real family man,” he concluded.
Raul has so far scored six goals in 13 appearances for Schalke this season.
