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 has completed its first training session in the short training camp in Mallorca in bright sunshine. On the site of RCD Mallorca, coach Merlin Polzin had to do without Immanuel Pherai and Dennis Hadžikadunić. Pherai stayed with a fever in the hotel, Hadžikadunić followed the training from the side of the side. The defender had cheated his shoulder at 0-0 against SV Elversberg.
The lead in the league, but Hamburger SV is not deterred by this: Hamburger SV does not leave anything to chance in the end of the season of the 2nd Bundesliga. One day after the 0-0 against SV Elversberg, the second in the table announced a short training camp in Mallorca. From Sunday to Wednesday, the team is preparing for the crucial weeks in the promotion battle.
“We want to consciously out of everyday training in Hamburg and get in the mood for the final sprint with intensive and focused units and work on numerous details,” said HSV head coach Merlin Polzin. Team formation is also important: “We will deliberately spend a lot of time together in order to combine even more closely as a team.”
RB Leipzig uses the cadre planning for the coming season in the event of a youth hope of the HSV. As the Pay TV broadcaster Sky reports, the Leipziger has secured Manuel Abbey’s services. The 16-year-old offensive player comes from the offspring of Hamburger SV and has already signed a contract. In return, the HSV receives training compensation.
Manuel Abbey went through the youth departments at HSV for six years. In summer it is now part of the Leipzig Young Talent Project.
Abbey’s change is already the second well -known youth transfer within a few hours: Previously, RB had strengthened with Warren Ngana (also 16) from Djurgharmens IF.
Goal scorer Davie Selke would be ready to do without up to a million euros in an annual salary in order to continue to play for HSV. According to the “Bild” newspaper, a Bundesliga club has already registered concrete interest and offers the 30-year-old an annual salary of “well over 2 million euros”. Selke’s contract expires in summer, but would extend itself by one year if it is ascent.
The affection of the HSV fans seems to be particularly impressed by the striker, who leads the 2nd league goal scorer list with 17 goals. He and his family feel very comfortable in Hamburg, so that he would agree to a new three -year contract with an annual salary of 1.8 million euros (currently 1.2 million) in the event of ascent.
Head coach Merlin Polzin also spoke out for a whereabouts: “Of course I hope that there is an agreement in a timely and as soon as possible.” He emphasized the enormous importance of the striker both on and next to the square and expects Selke to be back in the league leader after his past yellow lock against Elversberg.
Hamburger SV and women’s coach Marwin Bolz will go separate paths from summer. Just three days after the dramatic DFB Cup semi-final against Werder Bremen (1: 3 NV), the second division announced that the expiring contract of the 27-year-old coach was not extended. Despite the separation, Bolz will continue to look after the team in the remaining seven season games and try to realize the promotion with the current fourth table.
“After careful consideration, I think it makes sense for both my personal and the further development of the team to make space for new impulses in summer,” said Bolz, for whom the past four years at HSV have been an “incredibly formative time”. Saskia Breuer, coordinator of women’s football, also confirmed that the decision to separate was made together: “Marwin has conducted our second division team very well in his young age and further developed with great commitment and specialist knowledge.”
Particularly bitter: The separation takes place shortly after the highlight of the season, when the HSV women in front of the sensational record scenery of 57,000 spectators in the sold-out folk park stadium were allowed to dream of moving into the cup final. It was only in the extension that the team had to surrender to the North Rival Werder Bremen.
