Despite defeat in Leipzig, Polzin believes HSV are on the right track | OneFootball

In the end, Hamburger SV did lose 1–2 at RB Leipzig yesterday, but overall they presented themselves quite well against the new second-placed team. Coach Merlin Polzin saw it the same way and praised his team after the final whistle.

As the 34-year-old coach explained at the subsequent press conference, the manner in which his team performed was exactly what he wants to see from them.

Thus, the Hamburg side continued to play their system even against the favored Leipzig team and were not deterred by falling behind twice.

For Polzin, this is especially important because it is “the only chance to keep HSV in the Bundesliga in the long term.”

Whether they will succeed remains to be seen. The next matches will definitely be decisive, as they face the struggling VfL Wolfsburg, second-from-bottom Heidenheim, and fellow promoted side Cologne.
