As in previous games, Luka Vuskovic once again delivered a dominant performance against Wolfsburg. However, there was one situation where the youngster did not look good at all.
No other HSV player has been such a hot topic of conversation this season as Luka Vuskovic. The Croatian has made a huge impact since his loan from Tottenham Hotspur and is now an indispensable part of Hamburg’s defense.
Just last week, Vuskovic once again gave fans reason to dream, saying in a TV interview with MaxSport that he would like to stay in Hamburg for another season. “I want to play with my brother,” the teenager expressed as his biggest wish.
However, Stefan Kuntz recently made it clear that this scenario is not particularly realistic. “No, I think that’s impossible,” the sporting director told Sport Bild.
Just how understandable the HSV fans’ hopes are was demonstrated once again by Vuskovic against VfL Wolfsburg. With 95 touches, 61 completed passes, ten out of eleven aerial duels won, and six out of nine successful tackles on the ground, the 18-year-old delivered a flawless performance. Or almost flawless.
Because there was one flaw in his display: before the 0:1, the center-back was easily outplayed by Adam Daghim. The Wolfsburg right winger created plenty of space with a simple flick and effortlessly scored the opening goal.
Of course, the chain of errors began much earlier. Up front, the Rothosen gave the ball away, and then Miro Muheim did not cover himself in glory on the way back. But Vuskovic was unable to make a decisive challenge afterwards and also seemed unaware that Daghim, as a left-footer, almost always looks to cut inside.
The ultra-ambitious Vuskovic will be well aware of this mistake. Anyone who has ever watched the youngster at work knows that this scene will bother him the most. In the DFB-Pokal against 1. FC Heidenheim (October 28, 6:30 p.m.), the top talent will be eager to show a reaction!
