Here’s how things are going for former Schalke player Viktor Paulsen in the US

Viktor Paulsen envisioned things very differently after his move from Schalke to DC United. With his new club, the 31-year-old is currently the last in Major League Soccer.

DC United has only 22 points from 26 league games in American Major League Soccer. Former Schalke player Viktor Paulsen’s side are bottom of the table.

A 0:6 loss against the leaders of the Philadelphia Union was the culmination of a negative development that caused Paulson to become emotional: “It’s not acceptable. I’m ashamed to be the captain today,” said the Islander, who left the Royal Blues in the summer for family reasons, as his family lives in North America. .

But the former Schalke captain is happy with the game at the moment. Paulson has suffered three defeats since joining DC United. His coach Wayne Rooney also found clear words: “Every player was a complete stranger in that second half. It was unrecognizable from what I’d seen in training and previous games. You can lose games, but there’s a way.”
