Standing in for Polzin: Remberg shines at the goal wall! | OneFootball

Merlin Polzin was actually supposed to appear as a guest on the ZDF Sportstudio on Saturday evening. However, he canceled his visit at short notice, so Nicolai Remberg stepped in.

The coach had already been suffering from a cold during the week and missed, for example, the press conference. For the home match against Union Berlin (3:2), Polzin dragged himself to the sidelines and was able to celebrate the second consecutive win. However, he did not make the planned trip to Mainz-Lerchenberg for the ZDF Sportstudio afterwards. Instead, key player Remberg answered questions from host Sven Voss.

Throughout the broadcast, the conversation repeatedly turned to “Rambo’s” robust style of play, which is particularly evident in his tackles. The central midfielder emphasized that he doesn’t practice sliding tackles and always tries to get the ball. “When I make a fair tackle, everyone jumps up. That gives me a push,” said Remberg, who was clearly impressed by the atmosphere at Volksparkstadion.

Remberg’s Unique Career Path

Since his arrival at HSV in the summer, the 25-year-old has been a regular starter, playing every possible minute. He only missed the 1:4 defeat in Hoffenheim due to a yellow card suspension. Internally, Remberg is highly respected as part of the leadership group. “Great guy, super positive, he’s a machine on the pitch. He raised the level from day one. That just speaks for him,” enthused Daniel Heuer Fernandes.

No one could have predicted that the right-footer would develop into an established Bundesliga player. He never went through a youth academy. Nevertheless, he made the leap to professional football via the second team of Preußen Münster: “I always wanted to be a footballer. But I never attended a youth academy. I think that makes it a bit more difficult. I always manifested becoming a footballer. But it gets harder every year. Now I’m sitting here and it worked out. That makes me all the prouder.”

Nur die Raute – All the news about HSV

Via Münster and Holstein Kiel, where he already achieved promotion to the Bundesliga, his path led to HSV and eventually to the legendary ZDF Sportstudio goal wall. There, Remberg put in an excellent performance (from 01:30:37 in the video). He converted four of his six attempts, including all three to the top left corner, and beat amateur footballer Daniel Wellmann from Wangen 4:2.
