Team-mates blast Raul
Bundesliga,
Last updated:
Schalke duo Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and Christoph Metzelder have criticised Raul for a critical miss in Saturday's derby game against BVB.
The experienced striker ignored unmarked team-mate Jefferson during a three-on-two Schalke attack and went for goal himself, squandering a perfect goal-scoring opportunity with his side one goal ahead.
Die Knappen went on to lose the fixture 2-1 and the Spanish forward has since seen his team-mates rally against him.
Huntelaar told Bild: "I think he should have played the pass.
Farfan was all alone. It was an important moment in the game, and unfortunately it didn't turn out to be 2-0."
Metzelder said: "He immediately jumped to his decision. Had he waited a moment, he certainly would have seen that two players had made a run."
Raul's future at Veltins-Arena remains uncertain with the 34-year-old's contract set to expire at the end of the season.
