"Schalke" leaders defend coach Magath © EuroFootball.com

One of the leaders of the Gelsenkirchen team, Clemens Toennies, defends the coach Felix Magath, who has been increasingly criticized lately.

"Schalke" was named one of the leaders of the German championship before the season, but after playing four games, they have not earned a single point.

"I have no doubt about the coach's qualification," said C. Toennies. "We believe in this team. Of course, we are not satisfied with the current results, but we are definitely not planning to take drastic measures. It is a serious situation, but definitely not a deep crisis."
