Youri Mulder: Show a reaction against Münster

FC Schalke 04 endured a bad day on Sunday (23/2) away against SV Darmstadt 98.

Youri Mulder: It’s fun watching this team play

There was a lot to please Youri Mulder during the home match at the VELTINS-Arena against Fortuna Düsseldorf on Saturday (14/12). 19 shots, the majority of the possession and impressive passing accuracy formed a good picture. On top of that, the use of space, intensity in tackling and splendid sequences with the ball would have given the Dutchman reason to smile. He is set to remain as director of professional football until the end of the season while he has already stepped back from duties on the supervisory board.
