After the warm-up session was over, the coach didn't talk too much in the locker room. He had already explained so many things about the opponent in the meeting yesterday, from tactical to psychological points, so there was no point in repeating them before the game began. No, if anything, that would only be counterproductive, serving as another pressure on the players.
He only gave a little speech before they left the tunnel.
"I know you guys are here with different purposes. Some want to show off their ability to break through the main team, the others are content with your situation, while maybe, a little part here have something else to prove. I can accept this situation, but once you guys enter the pitch, I just want to emphasize one thing! Fight for the badge! Show your opponent that this is Schalke!"
"Yes, Sir!"
