Schalke 04 \ Was this a good season

Manuel Neuer got a lot to do this season. Throughout the whole season, Schalke had to face problems in the defense. The defense was the worst one, I have ever seen. Last year, they had with Rafinha,Bordon and Westermann three excellent defenders. Felix Magath then decided to sell all the players that caused problems to the financial situation of the team. Manuel Neuer, who decided to change the club, saved Schalke many times with amazing saves. In the Champions League, Schalke showed that it is capable of beating top club such as Olympique Lyon, Inter Mailand or Valencia. This also substantiated the fact the money does not score goals. Also in the German Cup, Schalke could qualify for the final that will be taking place next week against Duisburg in Berlin. Schalke played a season that was the best one in economic aspects, even though they ended up as 14th in the Bundesliga. The Champions League half-final, in which they got knocked out by ManU, brought a lot of money to the club. Unfortunately, this money cannot be completely invested for new players and has to be used to pay back the credits. Schalke has about 180 million Euro of debt and is forced to get more order into the financial situation in order to prevent the club from getting bankrupt.
