Ralf Fährmann (34) will be the goalkeeper for FC Schalke 04 in the coming weeks. As head coach Thomas Reis explained at the press conference after the game against 1. FC Köln (0-0), the previous number one, Alexander Schwolow, (30) “for the time being” take a seat on the bench. According to Reis, one hopes for the decision “a new impetus”.
Human aspects are also partly responsible for the goalkeeper change: “Ralle is Schalke through and through, he knows the situation – positively and negatively”, Reis explained with regard to the relegation battle. Bitter for Schwolow: In 17 games, the goalkeeper, who was loaned out by Hertha BSC, conceded a whopping 41 goals. So far, the former Freiburg player has not been able to recommend himself for a permanent commitment in the summer.
