Thomas Reis leave the change rumors about Alex Kral cold. During a media round, the FC Schalke 04 coach said: “The rumors about Alex Kral didn’t bother me. For me it’s just rumors at the moment. I’m in touch with Alex and I know it doesn’t bother him.” Background: The ‘Bild’ reported yesterday that Union Berlin is dealing with a commitment from the midfielder and “huge interest” at the 24-year-old shows.
Reis hopes that the loan from Spartak Moscow stays with the Gelsenkircheners beyond the current season: “He is still a Schalke 04 player and I hope he will be for a long time.” In order to make a stay palatable for the Czech, the trainer of the miners relies on the environment of the club and on himself: “We have a great environment here. Just playing in this stadium should be enough positives for Schalke 04. He has a coach who likes the way he plays, who has his back and wants to make him better.” In the current season, Kral has been on the pitch 27 times for Schalke.
