This time Itkura masters his cold start

While scoreshighers Simon Terodde (now seven hits in six league games) regularly settled in ecstasy, the other end of the field still establishes itself and quietly a man in the defensive of the royal blue. Ko Itura is an absolute profit for our team, said coach Dimitrios Grammozis after the 1-0 victory in Paderborn.

For days, it looked like the central defenders could not participate in this away game. His country tour with Japan had the defense strategist borrowed by Manchester City, for which the Gelsenkirchener secured a purchase option of four million euros, have to cancel due to muscular problems - only 48 hours before the kick-off, he had even entered the team training of the Schalke. But Grammozis ordered him into the starting in Paderborn.

Itkura lives this club

For several reasons: On the one hand, no other player has previously pushed for the central defensive role - neither new addition Dries Wouters nor Florian Flick. On the other hand, Itkura has managed to acclimatize quickly in the Ruhrpott. He has integrated quickly, says sport director Rouven Schröder. He lives this club after a short time. Itkura does his job outrighted and quiet, but conscientious and effective.

At his cold start in Königsblau in the middle of August, he had problems. Only a few hours after his commitment Grammozis once moved him to the break, which he did not please the 24-year-old: Itkura was desoriented (coach Dimitrios-grade 5).

The cold start in Paderborn he mastered for lengths better (grade 2.5). Already before the 3: 1 against Fortuna Düsseldorf, when he was replaced after 86 minutes, the center chest had beaten well (note 2.5). It would not be a surprise if he was also on Friday against the Karlsruhe SC (18.30 clock) Schalke's defensive chief.
