Königsblauen lose pace with loss to Hannover
By: Porter | February 1st, 2009
The nightmarish first half of the season continued into the new season as Schalke loss 1-0 to Hannover 96. In a rare shocking display, Schalke controlled play, kept much of the ball possession in the Hannover half but their attempts were errant. Within the first six minutes Jefferson Farfán’s early effort struck the post and both Gerald Asamoah and Heiko Westermann came close. However Sergio Pinto changed the course of the match as he scored the only goal eight minutes in from twenty meters. Schalke continued to attack endlessly, trying to pound their way through Robert Enke’s goal but the German international was a wall that could not breached. After the break Fred Rutten brought in Kevin Kurányi and Ivan Rakitić and although they created a furious assault there was no way through and Hannover won bragging rights with a 1-0 victory.

Well Hannover was on fire and Enke was intense. They are a much better club then a lot give credit for. I know that many people do not have access to watching all the Bundesliga matches but to me it is the most balanced of all the major leagues.
As far as what is going to happen, I just wonder how long with Fred Rutten be around. Lots of rumours right now of Hubb Stevens.
