‘A small project’ – Remberg keeping close eye on this HSV talent | OneFootball

Nicolai Remberg has established himself as a leader and wants to keep pushing forward at HSV.

During the training camp that ended yesterday, Saturday, he emphasized in a media roundtable (via Abendblatt): “I want to take on even more responsibility and pass on my experience. That’s the next step I need to take in that area.” In doing so, the central midfielder, who already led HSV onto the pitch as captain in the matches against Leverkusen and Stuttgart, will focus especially on the younger players.

“I want to bring a few of the boys along in my direction. Talent alone isn’t always enough,” said Remberg. One player in particular has caught his attention: Louis Lemke, currently probably Hamburg’s biggest talent. “I’ve picked out Louis as a little project of mine.” The left-back, still only 16 years old, already got his first taste of the Bundesliga last season. Now the next steps in his development are meant to follow so that he can possibly establish himself permanently in the first team.

Remberg sees “a lot of potential” in Lemke

“I can really picture something with him. He’s very polite and very nice. I get the feeling he simply wants it. Louis has a lot of potential,” Remberg explained. That is why he is taking Lemke under his wing: “We’ve done running sessions together. I always take him with me to the weight room too. He doesn’t have to do my exact program right away. But I think everyone can work a little on themselves, even if it’s just explosiveness. The point is to be physically solid.”

Nur die Raute – by HSV fans for HSV fans

Accordingly, from the perspective of the 26-year-old, whose 65 Bundesliga appearances are the third-highest total in Hamburg’s squad, the main thing is that “you don’t just sit around in the gym. I don’t like seeing that. Last season I wouldn’t have said anything about it. Now I make it clear straight away that this isn’t how it works.” This is “the first step toward taking on more responsibility,” Remberg stressed, underlining an approach that could also have a positive effect on Lemke.
