But as ever at Schalke emotions need to be kept under control as the club's natural force has always led to thoughtless reactions. "To convince people is the challenge as it is to play football that pleases fans," Wagner underlined after the club's pre-season training start.

To express goals is counterproductive Wagner emphasized. "It means to limit yourself; therefore, it is nonsense. You need passion and to invest effort and keep your ambitions alive," Wagner said, talking about his experience in the Premier League.

"I have experienced what is possible when you can get beyond your borders as a group," the Schalke coach commented.

To push the boundaries seems inevitable for a regional force like Schalke that might gain fans in all parts of the country as well but is lacking further growth as on international markets. "We are in danger to lose contact and therefore be left behind," Schalke's board-member marketing Alexander Jobst stressed adding the club needs to forget about the past but face reality and adjust the club to the requirements of modern times.

After failing to qualify for international competitions, Schalke has to count on rebuilding in several sectors. "Inconsistency was the club's biggest problem, that needs to be solved over a longer period," former Schalke and Chinese Super League coach Felix Magath commented.

Wagner claims to feel Schalke's heartbeat, emotions, and power. "That's all me, but it will take time and everyone's effort," the Schalke coach said.
