“Not easy for me”: HSV backup fears for World Cup place! | OneFootball

The current situation is increasingly becoming a test of patience for HSV goalkeeper Sander Tangvik. Could his World Cup dream even be in danger of collapsing?

Since his winter move from Rosenborg BK, the 23-year-old is still waiting for his competitive debut in an HSV shirt. Instead of getting regular match practice, he has so far been limited to the role of spectator. That is affecting his standing in the national team. In Norway’s most recent international against Switzerland, Tangvik was not even included in the squad. During previous international breaks, he had usually been called up.

The goalkeeper himself knows what the reason is and addresses the problem openly. “To be involved for your country, you should be playing for your club. I haven’t played for HSV recently. That means the national coach can’t assess my form. Everyone wants to play for their country. It’s not easy for me,” the Bild quotes the Scandinavian as saying. They are clear words that sum up his situation perfectly.

Tangvik hopes for appearances in an HSV shirt

Even so, Tangvik remains determined. He is still far from giving up hope of the World Cup: “I will keep working hard on myself. Maybe I’ll still play a few matches before the end of the season and get the chance to be nominated for the World Cup.” For that to happen, he would have to get past first-choice goalkeeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes. Unless he gets injured, however, it is unlikely that Merlin Polzin will make another change between the posts.

One positive for Tangvik is that he had accepted the role of backup to the German-Portuguese keeper when he made the move. “Nothing was promised to me. I consciously chose this challenge. The Bundesliga is a new level for me,” he emphasizes. “Of course there are moments when it is difficult. But you have to support the team and stay patient.”

The youngster may already get the chance for regular appearances next season. It is still not finally clear whether Heuer Fernandes and HSV will move forward together.
