Gosens was given the unenviable task of keeping Lennart Karl and Michael Olise relatively quiet throughout the 90 minutes in Schalke's 0-0 draw against Bayern Munich. He passed the tough test of his credentials with flying colours. The 32-year-old was quick to address the issue, saying his exit from Union Berlin in the summer was down to his and his family's failure to settle in the city rather than anything football-related.
Gosens will now face his former club Union Berlin in a Bundesliga match. The new boy is in no mood to lose his top-flight status and is determined to help Schalke stay in the Bundesliga. "The way we play, fight and show willingness to fight and die for this shirt will be important to make sure we've always got the fans on board," he said.
