The miner s home no longer has mines, the history of the fall of Hao Junmin s former boss Schalke 04

When it comes to Schalke 04, many fans' memories will be evoked again. The club, founded on May 4, 1904, was nicknamed the miner because Gelsenkirchen, located in the Ruhr Industrial Zone, was once the European coal mining center. But the team has had some difficulties in recent years, and even down.

Is the moustache Schalke fan?

This is undoubtedly a unsolved case in the football world. Although Schalke 04 has always separated his relationship with the former head of state, there is no direct evidence that he likes football. However, Schalke 04's most glorious period in history was perfectly in line with his administration. In the 33/34 season, 34/35 season, 36/37 season, 38/39 season, 39/40 season, and 41/42 season, Schalke 04 won the National League championship six times and won the German Cup championship in 1937. If this is just a coincidence, then the team's home court construction will be smoothly launched during this period and the team's game scenes become the source of film materials, which will make people more likely to associate. After World War II, the glorious Schalke 04 is no longer competitive. The 57/58 German Championship champion was their last time to become the league champion. Although they were one of the first Bundesliga members in the 63/64 season, they were relegated as the last in the 64/65 season after just one season. Although Schalke 04 returned to the Bundesliga in the 66/67 season, he only barely relegated, and he has been mediocre in the following seasons. In the summer of 1970, Schalke 04 introduced Klaus Fischer (27 December 1949) from Munich 1860. As the third-ranked tough guy in the Bundesliga overall scorer list (second only to Ged Mueller and Lewandowski), Fischer stayed in Schalke for ten years, scoring 226 goals in 348 games and assisting 10 times, of which he won the Bundesliga Golden Boot with 29 goals in the 75/76 season. Although Fischer is brave, he is subject to the overall strength of the team, and they have not achieved much honor. The 71/72 league runner-up and the German Cup championship are already their peak. In addition, it is the second runner-up of the Bundesliga in the 76/77 season. In the 80/81 season, Schalke 04 was relegated again with the second-last score. Although they returned as the German Second Division champion one season later, they were relegated again in the 82/83 season. Then I came back in another season, and the eighth place in the 84/85 season also looked remarkable. Unexpectedly, they were relegated as the bottom of the league in the 1987/88 season.

This time they did not come back immediately and did not win the German Second Division championship in the 1990/91 season to complete their upgrade. After completing relegation for four consecutive seasons, Schalke 04 won the third place in the league in 1995/96 season and successfully entered the UEFA Cup.

Although Schalke had powerful players such as Lehman, Olaf Ton, and Thomas Link in the team at that time, the team did not have the strength to fight on both sides. In addition, the team also changed its head coach in 1996, and Dutchman Huub Stevens took office. No one would have thought of what height this Dutchman could reach in the team's history. In the 96/97 season, Schalke 04 performed poorly in the league and only finished 12th. But they shined in the European arena and reached the League Cup finals all the way. Facing the powerful Inter Milan, they were not afraid of it. With a draw with their opponents in two rounds, they won the first European championship in team history with a penalty shootout. In the following three seasons, the team's league rankings did not have a big breakthrough, and they could even linger in the middle. Under this situation, no one would have thought that Schalke 04 would usher in qualitative change in the early 21st century. In the 200/01 season, the team launched a strong impact on the league championship. Although it failed in the last moment, it also won the German Cup championship that season. In the 2001/02 season, they only ranked fifth in the league, while the German Cup was defending their title. When the team had a good record, the new stadium was officially completed. The modern Veltins-Arena seems to be more compatible with the stronger team. Of course, the translation of Aotu Schalke may be more in line with the hearts of fans.

After this small golden period, Schalke's momentum slowed down and only won a German League Cup championship in the 2005/06 season. But the team has achieved great results in youth training, with stars such as Neuer, Gretzka, 272, Sane, and Hervedes all having Schalke backgrounds.

In the winter window of 2010, Schalke 04 also contacted us, and Hao Junmin became the third Chinese player to compete in the Bundesliga. In the summer of

210, Lord of the Rings Raul took off his white robe, and Schalke 04 became his next stop. Hunteral, who was frustrated in Real Madrid and Milan, also transferred to the team. In the 10/11 season, although the team performed mediocrely in the Bundesliga, they eliminated the defending champion Inter Milan in the Champions League under the leadership of Ronnick and entered the Champions League semi-finals. At the same time, they also won the German Cup championship that year.

' outstanding performance made Schalke 04's young talents a popular item, but the team's record did not fluctuate too much. The third place in the 11/12 season, the fourth place in the 12/13 season, the third place in the 13/14 season, the sixth place in the 14/15 season, and the fifth place in the 15/16 season. In the 16/17 season, the team's performance fluctuated and ranked only tenth. In the summer of 17, Schalke 04 ushered in a major reshuffle, with players such as Hunteral, Uchida Atsuto, Shupomotin, Korashinaz, etc., leaving the team freely.. The most shocking thing is that Schalke actually cleaned up the team's youth training treasures. The captain Hevedes, who has played for the team for many years, was almost ruthless in cleaning methods. After the

, although the team won the runner-up again in the 17/18 season, they had fallen to the second half of the league in the following two seasons. The second half of the 19/20 season was even more defeated, and he lost 6 draws and 10 losses in a game. In fact, it is normal for this kind of problem to occur. Although Schalke 04 demon stars emerge in many places, they often do not sell at a good price. There are many people leaving the team by themselves. As for the ability of the players they buy, it is hard to describe. The financial harm caused by player trading to the club is obvious to the club, and the financial crisis has always been an unavoidable topic in Schalke's century-old history. A well-known reason in 2020 caused many teams in football to suffer heavy blows, and Schalke 04 is inevitable. Although the Bundesliga 50+1 policy prevents the team from welcoming a wealthy father, Schalke also has a wealthy support, that is, Clemens Tennis, who has served as the chairman of the club's supervisory board for 26 years. It is no exaggeration to say that Schalke 04 is rising under his leadership.

But the Bundesliga team belongs to the fans, and it is useless to make a contribution by the chairman. The fact is that as early as 2019, some fans had already asked Tengnis to step down due to racial discriminatory remarks. The massive infection incident at Tengnis' meat factory in 20 years became the last straw that broke his back, and eventually forced him to announce his resignation in the middle of that year.

With Tunis, Schalke 04 has not ushered in a new life, but has become increasingly chaotic. They were unable to strengthen and frequently changed coaches and were finally demoted to the bottom of the 20/21 season.

Just one season later, the familiar plot was staged again, and they returned to the Bundesliga as the Bundesliga champions. But this time they did not regain their vitality and their financial situation even worsened further. In addition to Tennis, Schalke's God of Wealth also has Gazprom, who have sponsored Schalke 04 for a long time. Even when Tennis stepped down, the company's sponsorship of the team was about 20 million euros per year, and even if it was relegated, it was half of it. This income is crucial to Schalke 04. You should know that Schalke once raised funds to save himself, but it was only about 7 million euros. But with the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, Schalke 04 could only say goodbye to the God of Wealth in 22 years. In the 22/23 season, Schalke 04, who returned to the Bundesliga, was finally relegated again with the second-last score. They are already heavily in debt and are unable to make any more achievements at this moment. They are even fighting for relegation in the 24/25 season. Perhaps one day, it is not impossible for this former Bundesliga powerhouse to disappear from our sight.
