BERLIN - Schalke 04 have made the worst start to a Bundesliga season in the club's history with Sunday's 2-1 loss at Hoffenheim their fifth straight league defeat. Schalke's striker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (C) celebrates scoring against Hoffenheim on September 25, 2016The latest set-back piles the pressure on Schalke's new coach Markus Weinzierl. "I don't know where the problem lies," said Schalke's goalkeeper Ralf Faehrmann, while his defence did him no favours in Hoffenheim. Having been recruited from Augsburg at the start of the season, while sports director Christian Heidel was poached from Mainz, Weinzierl has endured a disastrous start. But Hoffenheim drew level when Croatia striker Andrej Kramaric, signed from Leicester City, headed them level on 17 minutes.
