When the players of FC Schalke 04 on Monday evening for a final training entered the lawn of the Giuseppe Meazza stadium, their eyes went up the first steep rows of seats. It looked as if they enjoy it, to be there - at the historical location at which the Ruhr club on 21 sensationally won in May 1997 the Uefa Cup.
Schalke on penalties had time favorites towering defeated Inter Milan on penalties and the myth of the "Fighter €" founded. Against this background, the first quarter-final between Inter and Schalke on Tuesday evening (20.45 Clock, Sky) a special game for fans of the "Royal Blues" to be.
Just yesterday, about 4,000 of them strolled through the streets of the Lombard metropolis and reveling in memories, some were singing songs of 1997: "We beat Roda, we proposed Trabzon, we beat Bruges anyway. Valencia, Tenerife, Inter Milan - that 'ne Show "Manuel Neuer was then just eleven years old, but he can still remember well..
"The park gave it a stadium, public viewing, and the next day, thousands of fans to, € fighters' is preparing a grand reception," he says. "Maybe it's a good sign that we ever were successful at the San Siro stadium," speculates New, who the enemy is one but one of the best clubs, which is currently in European club football there, but Schalke not won a chance imagines "We are rank outsiders, we have little to lose." Ralf Rangnick it looks similar, even if he is more confident since Saturday, as regards the position of his own team.
"We are not there a chance," said Schalke coach, after the Milan derby has been viewed in Serie A on site. At 0-3 against AC Milan Inter had shown on Saturday night in some major weaknesses in the defensive alliance. All statistical data indicate, however, for the Italians and Germans against the 1120 European Cup games have to exhibit the players of the defending champions together, Schalke come just to 493rd "Our chances are 20 to 80," says Schalke striker Raul (33), the exception of the miners in the squad in terms of international experience.
Raul has exhibit of 140 missions in the European Cup as many games as Inter's only four years older captain Javier Zanetti. The greatest difficulty for coach Rangnick is set on his team's strong offensive by the Italians. Against Samuel Eto'o, top scorer with eight goals of the Champions League, Wesley Sneijder and Goran Pandev could be any small position or vote errors have fatal consequences.
Schalke's defender Christoph Metzelder analyzed strengths and weaknesses of the enemy: "They have a great individual class. They have changed their style of play than in previous years a bit and are now acting to the detriment of the defensive a little offensive, "Metzelder is certain:"..
We have to deliver in two encounters an outstanding performance, "the former international, who is the Bundesliga game in St. Pauli a broken nose has incurred, will play today, probably with a special mask. "I will try in every case," said Metzelder. Has significant problems in the defensive midfield his coach: Peer Kluge is out with a stomach muscle strain, the Ghanaian Anthony Annan is not eligible to play in the Champions League.
Kyriakos Papadopoulos learn options and Joel Matip would, however, both just 19 years, and correspondingly little. Added to plague Rangnick the failures of Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and Mario Gavranovic, who has drawn on Friday a Syndesmosebandriss. Hope remains that the "good efforts" could stabilize the Rangnick in the host game at FC St.
Pauli, which with the score at 2-0 for Schalke in the 88th Minute, was canceled, has been identified. "Much of what we did on Friday, well, we must do even better on Tuesday. We must strike a balance, to keep players like Eto'o and Sneijder in check and to develop our game forward, "says the coach.
Rank Nicks idea of football - Pressing, Ball conquest and quick transition from defense to attack - could be the right tactic to create a surprise against Inter. The question is whether the team that operates entirely under Felix Magath in March had otherwise, these requirements have been internalized.
"We want to play in Milan to zero and then go with a good result in the return game," said Manuel Neuer - a statement of the goalkeeper who had good can come from Huub Stevens. In 1997 he was coach of the legendary "€ Fighter". A lucky charm have taken the superstitious Schalke way, or rather, a bringer of good fortune.
Matthias Schober, tonight, as was 14 years ago, goalkeeper of the "Royal Blues" reveals: "My wife is this time as well as at that time. So that works out. Indeed, it is still the same. "
