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”.
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.”
The HSV has a historical opportunity on Saturday evening – it can move back to the 1st Bundesliga after seven years. T-online therefore looks back on more than 2,500 days of second class. Read here which emotional victories, dramatic moments and bitter defeats were available for the HSV in the 2nd league.
With a victory against Ulm on Saturday, the HSV would have been up to the Bundesliga. There could even be one more reason to celebrate-the Hamburgers could secure the second division championship.
To do this, the 1. FC Köln would have to lose on Friday (from 6.30 p.m./Sky) at the 1st FC Nürnberg. The Cologne residents then stayed with 55 points, the HSV would be 59 points in the event of its own success. Because all other teams in this scenario could take a maximum of Cologne, the title would be determined prematurely.
In terms of sport, HSV is close to returning to the Bundesliga. A victory on Saturday evening (8.30 p.m./Sport1 & Sky) would make the climb perfect prematurely. Even a draw could be enough – provided the pursuers from Elversberg and Paderborn Patzen.
Polezin has almost all options in terms of personnel, but has to do without central defenders Dennis Hadzikadunic, which fails due to ankle and knee injuries. Captain Sebastian Schonlau is also missing yellow-locked. Possible replacement candidates are Lukasz Poreba or Silvan Hefti.
Coach Merlin Polzin from Hamburger SV called HSV fans to passionate support before the decisive home game against SSV Ulm. “The city and all HSVers burn on this game,” Polzzin wrote to X. Even in difficult phases of the game, the team needs the support of the supporters.
Every stadium visitor has “the task of pushing the team at the most.” According to Polzin, the tension in the sold-out folk park stadium is huge-however, the 34-year-old warned of the fighting opponent: Ulm will play “very nasty football”, in a positive sense.
Spanish ex-professional footballer Gerard Piqué fingers crossed that second division club Hamburger SV creates the promotion to the Bundesliga. “It’s a very important game this Saturday. You told me that,” said the 2010 world champion at the digital and marketing fair OMR in Hamburg. “I hope Hamburg can climb and come back to the first division. I know it’s a very important club. You have suffered a bit in the past few years.”
The longed -for return to the Bundesliga can make Hamburgers perfect on Saturday evening (8.30 p.m.) with a home win against the penultimate SSV Ulm prematurely.
