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”.
It could be difficult in today’s game (3:30 p.m./Sky): Hamburger SV wants to stop the Champions League participant’s impressive streak at RB Leipzig. Leipzig has been unbeaten in duels with promoted teams for 37 games (32 wins, five draws). However, HSV arrives with a tailwind – the “Rothosen” got seven points from the last three games.
Karim Coulibaly played in the HSV youth team for six years. The talented central defender made it to the U19 level, became captain of his team and a junior national player. Coulibaly has now even made it to the Bundesliga. But the 18-year-old doesn’t start with HSV – but with big northern rivals Werder Bremen. You can read more about the path of defensive talent here.
Offensive player Lotta Wrede has been awarded the Fritz Walter Medal in silver in the U17 category by the German Football Association. Hamburger SV announced this on Friday. The award is considered one of the most important honors in German youth football. Her teammate Melina Krüger had already received the bronze medal last year.
Wrede made her debut in the 2nd Women’s Bundesliga when she was just 16 years old and quickly became a regular player. In May she achieved promotion to the first division with HSV – and just a few months later she scored her first goal in the upper house against RB Leipzig. The native of Veerßen is also regularly on the pitch for the DFB youth team.
The gold medal in the U17 category went to Luzie Zähringer from FC Bayern Munich, and bronze went to her teammate Marie Gmeineder. Alara Şehitler (FC Bayern Munich), Estrella Merino Gonzalez (Bayer Leverkusen) and Thea Farwick (SV Meppen) were honored in the U19 category.
Coach Liese Brancao has criticized the scheduling of her HSV footballers’ Bundesliga game against Carl Zeiss Jena. The game is scheduled for Saturday at 2 p.m. (MagentaTV and DAZN) in Hamburg’s Volksparkstadion. At 3:30 p.m. (Sky) the men of Hamburger SV will play in the Bundesliga against RB Leipzig. “We can’t do anything now. That’s how it is now, but it’s not cool,” said Brancao at the match press conference.
The 44-year-old fears that many spectators will forego a visit to the Volksparkstadion so as not to miss the footballers’ game. “I find it very, very sad that our fans had to decide what they wanted to watch or where they wanted to go. We’re back at the DFB. We can’t influence that,” she said. “We have to try to make the best of it.”
