HSV star hopes for Bremen boos: “It gives me an extra boost” | OneFootball

HSV heads into the crucial northern derby against Werder Bremen with plenty of emotion and a clear objective.

Midfield engine Nicolai Remberg in particular is fired up for the clash and makes no secret of how much the special atmosphere drives him on. Early in his career, Remberg already learned what makes a derby so special in football. “Games against Münster or Essen always had something special,” he recalled in an interview with Sky. “You could feel the excitement. That rivalry is just there, no matter what league you’re in.”

The intensity surrounding matches like these is something the HSV professional particularly enjoys. The closeness to the fans and the high level of emotion are all part of it for him. That is also why he looks back fondly on the first meeting against Werder. “Even before the game, fans were there creating an atmosphere,” said Remberg.

HSV wants to repeat first-leg success

The fact that things already got heated in HSV’s 3–2 win in December also matters to the 25-year-old. But instead of letting overwhelming emotions guide him, he channels them in a targeted way. “Of course you remember things like that. But it motivates me more than anything,” he explained. “I’m not going into the next game with anger, but with extra energy.”

Remberg sees the predictably hostile atmosphere at Bremen’s Weserstadion above all as extra motivation. “I like it when the opposition fans boo me. It gives me an extra push,” he stressed. It is precisely in moments like these, he said, that he can get a few more percent out of himself.
