Edin Džeko, the 39-year-old captain of the football team of Bosnia and Herzegovina, who signed for Schalke a few days ago, is responsible for that.
The legendary German club has not been at its level for some time, but it is well on its way to returning to the elite where it belongs. They currently hold the first place in the table, and the fans believe that Dzeko is the missing link for Schalke to go on the path of old glory.

Schalke are struggling to score goals, and if anyone knows how to do it in Germany, it’s Dzeko. It is true that our attacker roamed this country about 15 years ago, but everyone believes that he still saved more ammunition for the period to come.
Schalke sold 6,000 of Dzeko’s jerseys on the first day, and the training of this club was watched by over a thousand people who came to greet him because of Dzeko. Today is the match against Kaiserslautern and the stadium is sold out, and everyone will be most interested in our striker.
The German media write that there is little chance that Dzeko will be the starter, but that he will probably get some minutes depending on how the score moves. Schalke coach Miron Muslić is happy about the signing of Edin Džeka, but he tried to focus on the next game.
“This is not Dzeko against Kaiserslautern, this is a duel between Schalke and Kaiserslautern,” he said at the press conference before the match.
The boss knows we need to play extremely well to win tomorrow
