Christian Gross insists he can be Schalke’s salvation in Bundesliga, however, they do not have much time left to avoid relegation.
Only 14 games are remaining till the end of the current season and
Schalkeare sitting at the bottom of the Bundesliga table ten points adrift of safety.
Christian Gross
has collected only four points from his first seven games at the helm.
Even though he admits that time is beginning to run out, Gross still strongly insists that he will lead 'The Royal Blues' to safety this season.
"I expected the task to be just as difficult as it is. As a fundamentally optimistic person, I believe in staying in the league as long as it is mathematically possible. My optimism remains unbroken. But it's clear that we don't have much time left,"
Gross told Kicker
.
Since the beginning of the year, Schalke have conceded 16 goals, more than any team in Bundesliga.
"We're still conceding too many goals from set-pieces. The first thing we have to do is minimize the number of set pieces in critical areas as much as possible. We have to try that - especially on Saturday against Union Berlin, who are known for having good headers of the ball,"
said the Schalke coach
