Bundesliga leaders, unwanted record for HSV player | OneFootball

HSV is making many positive headlines in its return season to the Bundesliga. However, one player is currently leading a rather infamous statistic.

Recently, the Mopo dubbed midfielder Nicolai Remberg the "Card King" of the league. The background: In the 1-1 draw in Mainz, the 25-year-old received his eighth yellow card of the current season. Alongside Arthur Theate (Eintracht Frankfurt) and Albian Hajdari (TSG Hoffenheim), the HSV ace leads this ranking.

Including two more warnings in the DFB-Pokal, Remberg has a total of ten cards. No other player has been warned more frequently this season.

Thus, the defensive midfielder once again lives up to his nickname "Rambo." Remberg defines himself through immense effort, intense tackling, and high running willingness. However, this style of play also carries a risk. If Remberg is just a few milliseconds late, things can get rough.

HSV: Will Remberg catch up to Papadopoulos?

The consequence: Another yellow card suspension is looming! With just two more warnings, Remberg would have to take a seat in the stands for the second time. Already in the first half of the season, the enforcer was forced to watch during the clear 1-4 defeat in Hoffenheim.

But aside from that, he has played the full distance in every match for HSV so far. He has not received a red card yet. Nevertheless, a look into the club's history shows how rare it is to have two yellow card suspensions in one season. The last time it happened was to Kyriakos Papadopoulos in the relegation season 2017/2018, when the Greek collected a total of twelve warnings.

Will Remberg manage to secure this "record"? The summer newcomer certainly doesn't want to hold back in the future. "I would never do less, I would always go in the same way. It also pushes the fans, especially during home games," he recently explained in the ZDF Sportstudio. "I immediately notice when I fairly tackle someone on the side, everyone jumps up and that gives me a little push. It makes me feel even more secure and confident, and I approach the next tackles the same way."
