Schalke manager Miron Muslic reportedly gave summer signing Junior Dina Ebimbe a dressing down following the club's 3-1 victory against 1.FC Union Berlin in early September. According to a report by Bild, Ebimbe was sharply criticized internally after losing possession and looking for a foul while Schalke held a narrow 2-1 lead. Bild described the player's reaction as contrary to Muslic's defensive philosophy.
