Error fest in Sinsheim: HSV left frustrated after a long afternoon | OneFootball

An overall weak HSV was clearly shown their limits by TSG Hoffenheim. Many defensive players made uncharacteristic mistakes in the 1:4 defeat.

Above all, Miro Muheim had an absolutely disastrous afternoon in the PreZero Arena, filled with 15,000 HSV fans. For the 0:1, the left-back lost sight of goal scorer Grischa Prömel, and he was also part of the chain of mistakes for the second and third goals conceded. Luka Vuskovic, who suffered a painful loss of possession before the 0:4, and his teammate Nicolas Capaldo also revealed unusual weaknesses.

“The individual goals we conceded were far too easy,” head coach Merlin Polzin stated very clearly after the final whistle. “At the same time, we didn’t manage to take advantage of our counter-attacking opportunities. It was a long afternoon that didn’t feel good for any HSV player.”

The Red Shorts missed the chance to build on the euphoria of their victory in the northern derby against Werder Bremen (3:2). “We missed a lot of what made us strong last week,” Miro Muheim summed up dejectedly.

HSV stars apologize to traveling fans

This realization was especially bitter, since HSV was actually supported in Sinsheim as if it were a home game. Large parts of the stadium were filled with the loud supporters of the promoted team. “It hurts, especially in front of so many traveling fans,” admitted Daniel Heuer Fernandes, and the impressive youngster Fabio Balde also said, “The fans were outstanding, the support was absolutely there.”

The HSV stars still have one more match before the start of the winter break to lift the spirits of their own supporters a little. At home next Saturday (3:30 p.m., Sky), the promoted team will face Champions League participant Eintracht Frankfurt. “I hope this support continues,” captain Yussuf Poulsen made clear. “Because we absolutely need the fans.”
