"Oi lads!": HSV player opens up on dressing room bust-up in Cologne | OneFootball

Against 1. FC Köln, HSV played one of their weakest halves of the season. Only a strong locker room talk brought improvement.

The 1:4 defeat in Cologne was a setback for Hamburger SV in two ways: Besides the disappointing result, the Rothosen also regressed in their gameplay compared to previous weeks – at least in phases.

However, after an alarmingly weak first half, HSV appeared significantly improved after the break. What happened in the locker room? Nicolai Remberg provided an honest answer after the game and confirmed that things got heated during the break.

"In the locker room, we said: 'Hey guys, this won't do, we don't want to show this face!'", the midfielder openly reported. "We showed a different face in the weeks before. When we came out, we did much better."

Remberg on HSV's Strength: "Then we are really unpleasant"

Indeed, HSV seemed transformed after the restart. Only after the two red cards did the team have to abandon their hopes of a comeback, ultimately losing clearly after two injury-time goals. Yet Remberg's words show that the belief in their own strength remains within the team.

The 25-year-old also knows: A good performance only after an alarming halftime talk is not sustainable. "We actually have to do it from the first minute like in the last games," he emphasizes. "Then we are really unpleasant."

On Saturday against Borussia Dortmund (3:30 PM, Sky), the Hanseatics have the opportunity to do better over the full 90 minutes.
