Last season was unfortunate for the faithful fans of Schalke 04. The board hired Fred Rutten, supported by his wonderful work with Twente, but soon the Dutchman would suffer the first defeat of the season as the draw for the qualifying round of the Champions League was not kind to the Germans , to face off against Atletico Madrid. In the first leg of the tie, played at the Veltins Arena, the locals were far superior to Madrid, but could only be overcome by minimal, wasting several chances. That was the big mistake of Rutten's pupils, with very little income, traveled to Vicente Calderón, where they were overwhelmed by a Led by a superb athletic Kun Agüero. The elimination was a huge slab for the team, which sank in the Bundesliga and in international competition, since it was not able to overcome the group stage of UEFA Cup extinct. The club from the Ruhr region and could not lift his head and sank to eighth place in the final standings. So this summer there was a change in coaching, recruiting Felix Magath, who won the Bundesliga with VfL Wolfsburg. Expected change in approach, opting for a more attacking football concept, but, to date, the experienced coach has shown a fairly conservative game, with markings man when faced with the favorites for the title. However, there is an aspect Magath's work is worthy of praise. In the absence of financial liquidity to have the Schalke coach is betting on giving opportunities to young talents of the club. Thus, it has given opportunities to players like Zambrano, Pliatsikas, Schmitz, Moritz, Moravek or Holtby. But there is a precocious talent who is putting his entire confidence, and that guy is none other than Georgia's Levan Kenia. Kenya is a player who plays behind the forwards, either in the playmaker, either on either side, found more comfortable in the band left for being in nature. It is an incisive player, with great coolness and daring, able to go crazy with your marker for their ability to overflow. Needs to be in permanent contact with the ball and therefore provides constantly, showing its dynamism. He has good tactical concepts and do not hesitate to open the field by sticking to the sidelines to facilitate their offensive forays bandmate. In their game there is not much room for effective remedies, as their dribbling are as simple as effective, since it is very difficult to stop him for his outstanding driving the ball in the race, showing really destabilizing, and much more when given space behind. However, it also has a good repertoire of feints static, with which overflows to subsequently assist with accuracy. It costs you win the baseline, but sometimes does not trust his teammates and wants to do everything himself, wandering in the reading of the game. However, it is a bug that does not make very often. Is very easily to give assistance, but also is able to score, thanks to its powerful and accurate hitting from outside the box with the left leg. For his phenomenal technical level and good vision, glows in the playmaker but also a little further back, putting tasks of midfield distributor. A leading footballer's soul, which has endangered in most of their offensive actions.
The young Georgian talent began his footballing career at Dinamo Tbilisi. He was there until she was fifteen, the age at which it decided to change clubs but not city, who enlisted in the ranks of Lokomotiv Tbilisi. Already in his new club, they all realized their potential, making his debut in the First Division of Georgia football with only sixteen. Not intimidated and was one of the most prominent of his team. It is therefore understandable that Klaus Toppmöller, coach of Georgia at that time make him the national team debut all. His good performances with his team and his country, even in high-level teams such as Italy, drew the attention of Schalke 04, who became his services for a bargain price. On arrival at Gelsenkirchen, joined in the discipline of a subsidiary of the Ruhr Basin, but trained with the first team and even got to play some minutes at the orders of Fred Rutten. His big moment came this summer with the arrival of Magath, who has been gradually introducing the team to give ownership to the detriment of Rakitic. In his eighteen years and can be considered important in a club in the upper area of \u200b\u200bthe table in the Bundesliga.
