Thomas Reis: Focusing on ourselves and not other results

Thomas Reis will not be worrying too much about the other results around the grounds on matchday 34 in Leipzig. “We know that we need a good result ourselves,” said the S04 head coach before Saturday’s game (27/5, 15:30 CEST). Schalke go into the final day in 17th place, one point adrift of both 16th (the relegation play-off position) and 15th (safety).

Thomas Reis: Be brave, clever and focused

Step-by-step towards safety is the motto of head coach Thomas Reis, whose side is next in action on Saturday (20/5, 15:30 CEST) at home to Eintracht Frankfurt. A win would put the Royal Blues in a good position ahead of the final matchday next weekend.

Thomas Reis: The important thing is where we are after matchday 34

There was no doubt that Bayern deserved to get the win on Saturday (13/5). Thomas Reis and his opposite number Thomas Tuchel both spoke to the press about the home team’s 6-0 win, while Marius Bülter and Danny Latza also gave their thoughts on the game.

Thomas Reis: We have a clear target

Marius Bülter’s late, late winner in Mainz, coupled with the other results in the division over the following two days, means that FC Schalke 04 are no longer in the bottom three for the first time since matchday 8, something the Royal Blues will want to maintain until the end of the season. However, Thomas Reis’ side have an extremely difficult away game up next, as they travel to Munich to play FC Bayern on Saturday (13/5, 15:30 CEST). “We know what to expect,” said the head coach.
