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”.
Steffen Baumgart showed the middle finger at the Frankfurt game and saw red for shooting a paper ball. He will now be missing against Hamburger SV. “Everyone can imagine that this annoys me twice,” the 53-year-old struggled with his red card. “My mistake, that’s how it is. I have to live with that.”
The coach played down the middle finger gesture captured by television cameras. He is not worried about further consequences. “I looked into nothing, it didn’t go in any direction, so everything was fine. That was an emotion that I had due to the video evidence and the previous situation,” said Baumgart. But there is a risk of aftermath: the control committee examines the process, as the DFB announced on Monday when asked about the SID. The coach was also asked for a written statement.
Baumgart immediately admitted the shooting of a paper ball from the Eintracht fans’ choreo. “The rule is clear, it was my mistake. I told the referee that in the situation you rated everything correctly,” said Baumgart.
His insight continues to be limited, he could not and do not want to make a promise to improve. “If someone expects an apology or I say that I will do it better next time. I’m too emotional to give 100 % security,” emphasized Baumgart. First of all, he has to watch from the stands anyway.
HSV fans can hope for tickets for Bundesliga promoters on Tuesday: from 10 a.m. the pre-sale for the home game against Borussia Dortmund will run on Saturday, November 8th (3:30 p.m.).

There are standing room for 18 euros, young people up to 21 numbers 2 euros less. Wheelchair users and visually impaired pay 18 euros for their ticket.
