Total commitment: HSV star in the North Stand against Augsburg! | OneFootball

How deeply Nicolai Remberg identifies with his role at HSV was once again impressively demonstrated last weekend.

Because of his suspension for yellow-card accumulation, the midfielder was forced to watch from the sidelines against FC Augsburg (0:0) for the second time this season. But instead of simply following the match from the touchline, Remberg had a very special idea: he wanted to go where HSV’s heart beats – to the north stand, right in the middle of the ultras.

As Mopo reports, the 25-year-old had even actively asked coach Merlin Polzin for permission beforehand to make this unique experience possible. Press spokesman Philipp Langer also gave his approval.

Remberg “misses” HSV equalizer

Remberg then actually spent the first 45 minutes in the fan section, producing an image you hardly ever see in professional football. While his teammates were having a very difficult time on the pitch, he followed the game side by side with the club’s most passionate supporters. The whole thing was supported by clear arrangements made in advance so that the pro would not be overwhelmed by the attention and the focus would remain on the match.

Nur die Raute – All the news about HSV

Only for the second half did Remberg move back behind the bench, where the TV cameras kept picking him up. He therefore could not celebrate Ransford Königsdörffer’s equalizer in the middle of the fans, but “only” with his fellow sidelined teammates such as Nicolas Capaldo or Bakery Jatta.

However, the trio are expected to return to the pitch against VfB Stuttgart next weekend (12/04, 5:30 p.m.). Remberg’s suspension has been served, and Capaldo and Jatta also have a good chance of making their comeback to the matchday squad!
