Domenico Tedesco: We need to be patient and not lose our focus

With their 2-1 win over Werder Bremen in their first encounter this season, Schalke achieved something that they hadn’t for six months - win two Bundesliga games in a row. The Royal Blues now have the chance to do something similar this Saturday when Bremen are the visitors to Gelsenkirchen (3rd February, 15:30 CET). After soundly beating VfB Stuttgart 2-0, a win over Werder would be their second in a row once again.
