Germany star hails HSV: "What a brilliant club" | OneFootball

Despite seven years in the 2nd Bundesliga, HSV has lost little of its charisma. Even a national player has revealed himself as an admirer of the club.

With the 2:1 victory over 1. FC Heidenheim, Hamburger SV has finally announced its return to the top league last weekend. And a 24-time German national player and Champions League finalist is full of praise. Robin Gosens, currently under contract with AC Florence, spoke highly of the Rothosen in the podcast Copa TS. "Such a great club," the left-back enthused when he talked with moderator Tomi Schmitt about the Heidenheim success.

The euphoria surrounding the Bundesliga return of the traditional club does not leave Gosens cold. Already in May, shortly after the promotion was confirmed, he emphasized how natural it sounded to see HSV back in the Bundesliga. Now he added: "It's simply poetic that they are back in the First League – this big club with this beautiful city."

Gosens has advice for HSV

But the first success of this season was hard-earned by the Hanseatics. After Heidenheim, especially in the early stages, left plenty of high-quality chances unused, Mario Vuskovic (42nd) and Rayan Philippe (59th) put Merlin Polzin's team on the winning path. The late consolation goal by Adam Kölle (90.+3) made the Volkspark tremble once more. "They really suffered a lot in the end," Gosens also knows. "But it's just good as it is."

The Italian legionnaire doesn't come without a word of caution. Months ago, he emphasized that an immediate relegation would be fatal. Hamburg must avoid the feared relegation from the years 2022 and 2023 at all costs. "Then the legs automatically become ten kilos heavier," says Gosens.
