During a live podcast in Hamburg, Merlin Polzin appeared to be in great spirits. The HSV coach also surprised everyone with a very special prediction.
On Wednesday evening, Merlin Polzin ventured into unfamiliar territory. The 35-year-old was a guest at a live recording of the podcast “HSV – meine Frau” at the Hamburg Schauspielhaus. Around 1,000 fans, almost all dressed in club colors, celebrated their coach in an extraordinary atmosphere. The fans in attendance were treated not only to humor, but also to one or two bold sporting predictions.
When Polzin was asked during the conversation about possible HSV players at the 2026 World Cup, he first mentioned Yussuf Poulsen (Denmark) and Alexander Rössing-Lelesiit (Norway). This was reported by the Hamburger Abendblatt.
But then came a sentence that caused a stir in the hall: “If Rambo keeps performing like this…” Of course, he was referring to Nicolai Remberg, who has developed into an absolute key player for HSV in a very short time. A casual remark, but one that can certainly be understood as a genuine prediction for a possible DFB debut for the 25-year-old.
Remberg acts as the engine in central midfield for the Rothosen, impressing with commitment, strength in duels, and increasingly with game intelligence. The fact that Polzin believes he has a future in the national team shows the high regard the Münster native enjoys within the club.
In addition, the HSV coach also gave the audience some personal insights: he recalled his early years as a coach, his promotion, and chatted about his grandmother, who regularly criticizes him for his line-ups. However, after the 1-1 draw against Borussia Dortmund, she praised her grandson.
With this mix of humor, down-to-earth attitude, and a clear sporting vision – “I want to re-establish HSV in the Bundesliga” – Polzin came across as both approachable and ambitious. Nevertheless, one thing stood out above all from this evening: the Hamburg native firmly believes in his players. This is especially true for Nicolai Remberg.
