Manuel Baum has already tried in five games in vain.

With the victory, which should prove that they haven't completely forgotten how to play football in Gelsenkirchen.

The trend reversal should finally be brought about.

But what are five games for FC Schalke 04?

The traditional club from the Ruhr area has been without a win for 23 games and is approaching the negative record of Tasmania Berlin.

Question:

How much time is Schalke currently costing?

Baum:

I arrive around eight o'clock in the morning and leave between 9 and 10 pm in the evening.

At the beginning you just have to put a lot of energy into a new task to get to know the structures.

Schalke is a big tanker.

Question:

Where do you get the strength for this marathon from?

Baum:

After the cup game against Schweinfurt, I allowed myself a glass of wine.

Otherwise I read a book, currently a novel by Karsten Dusse.

I also like to go running.

As a trainer, you also have to take care of yourself.

Because I'm sure of one point.

Question:

In which one?
