He is the ever-present among HSV’s outfield players. Nicolai Remberg has started all ten Bundesliga matches and hasn’t missed a single minute.
That’s how you make an entrance at your new club! Nicolai Remberg has quickly become a key player at Hamburger SV. The 25-year-old joined in the summer for a comparatively modest €2.4 million from relegated Holstein Kiel. Yet, he is already one of the most valuable players in the HSV squad. Just three months into the season, his market value has already risen to four million euros—and the trend is clearly upward!
Remberg’s rise is not only due to his impressive physicality and tackling strength, but also his tremendous willingness to learn. Together with assistant coach Loïc Favé, “Rambo” regularly puts in extra hours. “He always takes time after training and says, ‘Let’s keep working on this,’” Remberg revealed in an NDR interview about his coach.
“We watch a lot of videos,” he continued, adding with a smile: “I get the feeling he’s never satisfied. But that’s impressive, because he always wants more. His standards are very high, and that will take him a long way.”
But Remberg himself also proves his worth on the pitch week after week. As the only outfield player, he has played the full 90 minutes in all ten Bundesliga matches for HSV so far. His work off the ball is particularly outstanding: stats like 0.79 blocked shots and 3.69 clearances per 90 minutes (fbref.com) put him among the top one percent of all defensive midfielders in Europe’s top five leagues.
Remberg is not just a destroyer, but also an organizer. With 17.47 touches in his own third per match and an error rate close to zero, he is a reliable factor in HSV’s build-up play. Even if he may never be the player with the greatest offensive output, Remberg has definitely developed his game on the ball.
Moreover, despite being a newcomer, the Münster native leads by example. After nearly every match, he faces the press. And when it comes to interacting with fans, few HSV stars are as active. As things stand, Stefan Kuntz and Claus Costa have truly hit the jackpot!
