Schalke 04 continues to struggle in the 2. Bundesliga, extending their winless streak to five games after a disappointing 2-2 draw against Dynamo Dresden. The traditional club, which had led 2-0 at one point, could not maintain their advantage, illustrating a worrying trend for the team's performance. The match highlighted the persistent challenges faced by Schalke, as even a remarkable game from Edin Dzeko, who was effective in his first start, could not lead to a victory.

The turning point of the match came in the 72nd minute when coach Miron Muslic decided to substitute the impressive Dzeko. The move raised eyebrows since Dzeko, who joined Schalke from Florence during the winter break, had shown his elite ability on the pitch. His removal appeared to disrupt the team's flow and allowed Dynamo Dresden to stage a comeback, showcasing the fragility of Schalke's current form.

While Schalke is struggling, Hertha BSC managed to end their own winless streak impressively, contrasting sharply with Schalke's ongoing issues. The situation raises concerns about Schalke's future in the league and calls into question the effectiveness of their strategies and player management as they aim to restore their reputation and competitive edge in German football.
