Hamburger SV is playing against FSV Mainz 05 on Sunday, a team that is just coming out of a European Cup week. This could be an advantage for the Red Shorts, but it doesn't have to be.

After HSV recently won against Heidenheim and subsequently took a point against Union Berlin, they are feeling confident. This should be noticeable on the field against Mainz.

Merlin Polzin, coach of the Hanseatic team, definitely wants to see a team that gives their all and wants to play good football in the game against Mainz. And so he also immediately set the course.

Polzin speaks before the Mainz game

"For us, the rule is: We want to be as successful as possible as a team. This can only be achieved together - in the club, but also in cooperation with the fans. When the game is kicked off, there is only one direction: forward. But it is also clear that we need defensive reliability. We showed this recently in Berlin, so I also classified it with the words that we have now arrived in the Bundesliga," said the head coach about the goals that HSV has.

And he continued: "Now it's about taking the next step with our resources and our way and continuing the development. These are great tasks, and if you master them in the end and can celebrate a Bundesliga triple together with the fans, that makes you addicted." So Polzin is definitely looking forward to the Mainz game.

The HSV coach definitely respects the opponent. "The roles for this duel are therefore relatively clear. You only have to look at how many national players both clubs provide during the international match phase. The Mainz team comes with a lot of intensity, are very cohesive and constantly stress the opponent," said Polzin.
