Hamburger SV is one of the largest clubs in Germany. In the New sticker on T-Online you will find all the important messages about the “red pants”.
After the third winless game in a row, the fear of the failure in the promotion race at the HSV is about the fear of renewed failure. But board boss Stefan Kuntz does not want to know anything about Actionism among the Hamburgers. “We start as normal as possible. This is a normal challenge that everyone can stand in the way of working life every day,” said Kuntz on Monday in a media round after training.
On Sunday, the HSV lost 1-2 against Karlsruher SC, especially in the second half, the players seemed paralysis. Hamburg still has three points three points before the end of the season as the second in the table. FC Magdeburg in third place and also has the significantly better goal difference.
This is also why those responsible do not plan a short training camp or other special dimensions. “What is very important to me: We are not victims, but we are the ones who have the booklet of action in hand. That must be the benchmark,” said Kuntz. “If we look in the mirror after the next three games, then the reflection must tell us that we have torn our ass open and put everything.”
Trainer Merlin Polzin also receives backing. “The coaches are great in the analysis, I have hardly seen anything better,” said Kuntz. HSV is a guest at SV Darmstadt 98 on Saturday.
The HSV women can move back to the 1st Bundesliga after 13 years. After the 1-1 win against Ingolstadt, the Marwin Bolz team has four points ahead of the fourth -tableled SV Meppen – with three outstanding games.
So that the Hamburg women can celebrate the promotion early, an away win at the leaders’ 1. FC Nürnberg is mandatory on Saturday (kick -off 1 p.m.). If Meppen then loses VfL Bochum (2 p.m.) on Sunday, HSV would have seven points ahead – but Meppen could only catch up six points.
Even with a tie between Meppen and Bochum, the HSV women would be in a comfortable position in their own victory: Then they would have six points ahead and the significantly better goal difference (currently: +29 to +13), which would decide if the tied.
Hamburger SV continues to relate to offensive dribbler Jean-Luc Dompé. The second division soccer team announced the contract extension with the 29-year-old Frenchman before his duel with Karlsruher SC on Sunday. The contractor’s contract would have expired in summer. The association did not provide any information on the duration of the new contract.
Board of Directors Stefan Kuntz said: “Jean-Luc is primarily visible to his performance on the pitch and-especially in the last half of the year-shows himself in the defensive work” Kuntz continued: “Above all, he has also become aware of its importance in the cabin, has matured here, helps young players with integration.” Kuntz also described Dompé as “a heart of our team”.
Dompé switched from Belgium to the Elbe from Belgium from Belgium and has 14 goals and 31 templates in 88 competitive games for the red pants.
Will an old acquaintance soon return to German professional football? Schalke 04 should deal with Tim Walter, reports the “Bild”. The name of the 49-year-old has been “repeatedly” appearing for weeks. Most recently, Tim Walter (2021 to 2024 at HSV) was coach of the English second division club Hull City from July to November 2024.
