The average age of the players on the field for Rostock is almost 32!

Among these eleven players, a full six are retired players who once played in the Bundesliga or 2nd Division for local Rostock teams!

To put it nicely, they're retired players; to put it bluntly, they're the old and weak discarded by various clubs.

Yet, even these old and weak players are still dominating Schalke 04's young squad on the field.
