Hamburger SV is one of the largest clubs in Germany. In the news ticker on t-online you will find all the important news about the “Rothosen”.
After being demoted to the U21, Noah Katterbach is allowed to train again with the Hamburger SV professionals. The 24-year-old met with coach Merlin Polzin for a clarifying discussion, and in the afternoon the defender was on the first team pitch. The Bundesliga soccer team reported on
HSV sent Katterbach to the regional league team a good three weeks ago because the coaching team was not satisfied with the left-back’s attitude. Going to the regional league should be a “pause for thought” for Katterbach. The Cologne native left a committed impression there, which led to his return and a possible restart.
Does Hamburger SV have to look for a new goalkeeper during the winter break? The current number two, Daniel Peretz, is apparently thinking of saying goodbye early. “It’s obvious that I’m disappointed that I’m not playing in Hamburg. I didn’t think I wouldn’t be used. It was actually clear that I would play,” he told the TV station “Sport 5” after Israel’s international match against Norway (0-5).
Peretz has been playing on loan at HSV for a season since the summer; the 25-year-old is actually under contract with FC Bayern Munich. He is fighting the situation mentally. “Maybe there will be a change in January because I really want to play,” Peretz continued.
On Saturday, Hamburger SV and Werder Bremen will meet for the first time in the women’s Bundesliga. It is a special duel for HSV striker Christin Meyer: She came back to the Elbe from her green and white rivals in 2024.
In a club interview, Meyer was “totally excited” for the game. She played for Werder Bremen for three years (53 games, four goals). “Overall, I matured a lot as a player and as a person during my time in Bremen and learned a lot,” she said.
Christin Meyer expects a “competitive, exciting northern derby”. More than 1,000 HSV fans are traveling to Bremen – that makes them “very proud and grateful”. “I hope that this euphoria remains and continues to grow.”
