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”.
Hamburger SV is back in the Bundesliga – that much has been clear since Saturday evening. City rival FC St. Pauli is also congratulations. “We know that this league is hard. And we also know that we have to take everything together to successfully complete this league and then look forward to a Hamburg derby. Congratulations to HSV!” Said President Oke Göttlich on Saturday evening in the ZDF sports studio.
The Hamburg football fans are “totally important” to have two first division clubs in the city, said Göttlich. “And although we have a rivalry in the city, we understand ourselves properly at the level of officials. This cooperation is important,” emphasized the St. Pauli President and connected this with a political message: “Overall, we may even wish for the entire Republic more of Hamburg’s political situation than others.”
A person was taken to the hospital with life -threatening injuries, as the Hamburg fire brigade announced. Another 19 football fans came with severe, five with minor injuries to surrounding clinics. Some of them jumped down from the stands of the stands, said a fire brigade spokesman. There were also injuries from wrangling. A total of 44 patients were medical care.
Because of the many injuries, around 65 rescue service and fire brigade were deployed. A dozen ambulance drove in front of the stadium.
The HSV did it: the promotion to the Bundesliga is perfect after the 6-1 win against Ulm on Saturday evening.
Ludovit Reis (10 ‘) Ransford Königsdörffer (42’) and Davie Selke (45+4 ‘) shot Merlin Polzin’s team in front of 57,000 fans in the Volksparkstadion before the break.
In the second half, an own goal by Philipp Stromf (49 ‘) from SSV Ulm. Königsdörffer scored his second goal in the 62nd minute and newcomer Daniel Elfadli (86 ‘) finally made the 6-1 perfect.
The HSV was relegated in its history for the first time seven years ago. With 59 points, the HSV also shot to the top of the table.
Marcell Jansen stands before his last home game as President of Hamburger SV. And in this, the Hanseates can make the desired promotion to the Bundesliga perfect with a win against SSV Ulm. Jansen has come up with a special motivation injection for this. The 39-year-old published a video on his Instagram account, in which some HSV legends have their say and wish the team every success.
In it you can see Heiko Westermann, now a co-trainer of Hansi Flick at FC Barcelona, former HSV striker Ivica Olić or ex-player Rafael van der Vaart. The clear message: “You can do it”.
Jansen is enthusiastic about the cohesion. “I particularly touch the support of many former companions,” he writes about the clip. “Boys with whom I was on the pitch fought for HSV, shot games and shared emotions. Now they keep their fingers crossed again. Not only here in the stadium – but worldwide.”
