Despite good form: Glatzel dodges commitment to HSV! | OneFootball

At least things are going well for him personally. Robert Glatzel is one of the few HSV winners of the past few weeks.

After not playing at all in four straight matches at one point, the striker is now part of the regular lineup for the first time this season in the final stretch. Glatzel started in three of the last four games, recording two goals and one assist. Overall, his starting XI record of three goals and two assists in six matches is more than respectable.

So has Glatzel abandoned the thoughts of leaving that he hinted at in an Mopo interview, saying that he “definitely never want[s] to experience a situation like the one I had over the last nine months again”?

One thing is certain: in general, the 32-year-old feels extremely comfortable in Hamburg. In the past, despite missing out on promotion, he turned down several lucrative offers from Bundesliga clubs. His clear ambition was to achieve promotion to the top flight with HSV.

HSV’s priority is staying up

At first glance, Glatzel currently has everything he wants. He is playing in the Bundesliga with his boyhood club and can, at least for the moment, call himself a regular starter. Even so, after the 1–2 defeat to Hoffenheim, the striker avoided making a clear commitment to HSV — despite being under contract until 2027.

“We’ll see,” Glatzel said when asked about his future in the mixed zone after the final whistle, stressing his “full focus on the last three games.” In the remaining matches against Eintracht Frankfurt, SC Freiburg and Bayer Leverkusen, the Rothosen will likely need more points to mathematically secure survival. Otherwise, they will have to rely on slip-ups from direct rivals St. Pauli and Wolfsburg.
