Terodde as a Schalke promotion insurance

Simon Terodde simply had the language. With a fragile fistula voice, the match winner of the soccer second division team Schalke 04 tried to classify a classification for 2: 1 (0-0) at SV Sandhausen and the return to the top of the table. The goal scorer from the service was only able to break bike in the TV interview: "You have to realize what went off first."

Terodde had had several thousand fans who had traveled with action and only forgotten the 1: 4 home bankruptcy in the summit with Werder Bremen.

Through his winning goal in added time, the narrow leads into the last two games with two points. More than ever, the dreams of direct returning around the Schalke market are blooming, which ideally could now even be perfect in the coming week.

For the verbally indisposed match winner ("I have no voice"), who has now hit the fifth game in the fifth game in the end of the season and has already made 27 goals, coach Mike Büskens described the high feeling in the royal blue camp: "After the 2-1 Knew the jubilation no longer any limits. To experience these moments - these are the days you know that you are part of the hottest club in the world. Just insane - that's the reason why I love this club so much. "

The fans should particularly love Terodde. The second division record goal scorer is Schalke's personified promotion sample in the current season. Without the hits of the 34-year-old, who already helped VfB Stuttgart in 2017 and in 2019 to 1st FC Köln for the first division promotion, Schalke would have collected at least statistically and write 17 points less and has long since not reported anything in the promotion race.

Büskens praises Teroddes teammate at FC Schalke

Büskens, however, did not want to attribute the success to Terodde, who scored at least two goals for the seventh time in the current season: "Simon has an incredibly good conclusion. But he also knows that he has good teammates who stage him", said the 54-year-old.

However, the interaction of the forces must still work against fellow competitors FC St. Pauli (Saturday/8.30pm/Sky and Schalke1) and at 1. FC Nürnberg (May 15th/Sunday) for a longed -for leap into the elite class. "We have to keep up the tension," said Büskens with a view to the final tasks and warned: "We have not yet reached anything."
