eFootball.Pro: Schalke 04 Esports has successfully started the new season

At the start of the season in eFootball.Pro, the newly formed PES team of the Royal Blues faced Arsenal FC. Together with our player Mehrab “MeroMen” Esmailian, we look back on the 1st matchday, which was very promising for Schalke.

Arsenal London 1-0/1-3 Schalke 04 Esports – Newcomer “Urma” makes debut

The Romanian newcomer Adrian „Urma“ Urma, who recently completed the team around MeroMen and Mike „EL_Matador“ Linden, was in action for Schalke 04 Esports in the duel with Arsenal London. The S04 trio met the brothers Yos “Indominator” and Yan “Indojawa” Sonneveld (Netherlands) and Pedro „barboza“ Barbosa (Portugal).

In the first of two matches, Arsenal got the upper hand in a close 1-0 game. „Our starting line-up did not work as we had imagined,“ explains MeroMen: „We didn’t get into the pressing and that meant that the opponent was able to play through his possession game.“

The Royal Blues now needed a sense of achievement if they wanted to avoid a false start. And that is what the S04 professionals got. With a 3-1 win in the second game, the blue-whites got off to a decent start to the season. MeroMen: “We switched to a very aggressive 3-4-3 line-up and played high pressing with a lot of risk so that Arsenal would have a hard time holding the ball. This time our plan worked and we were able to dominate the game. The game could have ended even higher. „

We are satisfied with the season opener, especially with the second game. We want to build on this performance when the season continues with the second matchday in January.
