Monday Kicker is one the Hoppe family will want to keep. Schalke “vier null” (4:0) as opposed to the club’s official name Schalke Null Vier.
“Hoppe, Harit, Kolasinac, Fährmann. 4 pillars of the long-awaited win, but is that the turnaround?” #S04

2/ Hoppe was also named Kicker’s “Spieler des Tages” (player of matchday 15) in the Bundesliga, describing the first of the American’s three goals as “in the style of (ex Schalke great) Raul.” #S04 #Hoppe

3/ Former Schalke player Gerald Asamoah, now U23 GM in his Kicker column says Hoppe has impressed him not just because he took his goals so convincingly on Saturday but because he’s constantly looking to improve. He’s able to do that because he never stops challenging himself.

4/ Schalke’s stadium staff made an ad hoc decision to play “California Dreaming” over the pa system after the game to honour the 19 year old Hoppe. #S04
