The Bosnian star Edin Džeko quickly established himself among the players, management, and fans of Schalke 04 after joining the team during the winter transfer window.

The club's football director, Jurai Mulder, praised Dzeko's behavior both on and off the field, confirming that he has shown humility and a high level of sportsmanship from the very first moment.

Mulder revealed a small story from the locker room that reflects Dzeko's humble character, where the player cleans his own shoes instead of handing them over to the equipment staff. Mulder described this act as "magical and shows his true love for football." This behavior impressed his teammates and the club's fans and confirmed his respect for the profession.

On the sports front, Dzeko delivered an outstanding performance with Schalke, becoming the team's top scorer since the season resumed by scoring three goals and providing two assists in four matches, including his standout performance in the team's 2-1 victory over Holstein Kiel. This performance contributed to elevating the team's level and provided his teammates with more space on the field.

Mulder praised Dzeko's ability to pass the ball and hold it in the midfield, which relieved pressure on the defense and contributed to improving the team's overall performance. Mulder also expressed his hope that the team had scored the third goal earlier to avoid any tense moments during the match, emphasizing that Dzeko is a valuable addition to the team on all levels.
