Vitalie Becker: Every match is a highlight for me

After the 1-0 home win against SV Darmstadt 98 on Friday night (24/10), the buzz in and around the VELTINS-Arena was incredible. Nevertheless, the Royal Blues remain grounded – a point emphasised by Vitalie Becker, currently a cornerstone out on the left in the Royal Blues’ starting XI.

Vitalie Becker shapes up to cross the ball.

“We’re staying relaxed, of course we’re happy about the wins, but we’re keeping a cool head,” emphasized the 20-year-old, who has started all 11 competitive matches this season. On Friday night, Becker put in yet another solid performance and hardly gave anything up on his side. For Darmstadt’s Marco Richter and his teammates, finding a way through the Knappen proved seriously difficult.

It’s just an indescribable feeling when you realise that the Nordkurve is cheering you along and all the fans are right behind you

A moment shortly before half time perfectly encapsulated the passion and drive that Schalke displayed during the whole game. Becker slid in fearlessly to deny a crossing opportunity for Killian Corredor, with the impressive recovery receiving rapturous applause from the Nordkurve. For the young Royal Blue, every appearance in a Schalke shirt is special: “Every match is a highlight for me.”

Becker has been receiving plenty of support and valuable advice not only from his experienced teammates but also from his close family. “My family are really proud and they come to every game,” revealed the 20-year-old. Becker is grateful for the trust of the coaching staff and the positive form up to now, while remaining focused on the crucial basics: “I stay calm, focus fully on each match, and prepare thoroughly – that helps me perform at my best.”
