Martin Fraisl: I treat every training session like a final

Goalkeeper Martin Fraisl’s record as a Schalke player couldn’t read any better. In his three games between the sticks, S04 have won 2-0 in Rostock, beaten Ingolstadt 3-0 at home and recorded a 1-0 victory in Hannover. The Austrian has therefore won three games from three and is yet to concede a single goal! He is hoping that this great run can be continued in Saturday’s home game against Dynamo Dresden (23/10).
