Hamann criticises HSV star: "He needs to deliver more end product" | OneFootball

The current crisis of results at HSV also brings chief critic Dietmar Hamann into action. One player particularly frustrates the expert.

With only one point from the last five matches, Hamburger SV finds itself in a complicated phase for the first time since the botched start of the season. Appropriately, someone who has been observing the events closely for years speaks up: former national player Dietmar Hamann.

The TV expert doesn't want to be too critical of HSV. “Phases like these will always happen for a promoted team. I wouldn't read too much into it,” Hamann is quoted by Bild. Even after the lost derby against St. Pauli (0:2), he thought, “that was it,” but HSV positively surprised him afterward. Nevertheless, Hamann sees clear weaknesses: there is a lack of “composure” and the belief to “reward themselves with all their might” for good performances.

Hamann Criticizes HSV's Offense

His judgment is particularly critical of Jean-Luc Dompé. The offensive player scored two goals but falls far short of his second-division achievements. “He is a player with so many possibilities. He always plays, but there needs to be more tangible results than two goals,” Hamann states clearly. “He needs to score and assist goals. I haven't seen him create something out of nothing yet.” As a counterexample, he mentions Ransford Königsdörffer, who “seemingly did more” than Dompé. “You know where the problem lies when the two together have only three goals.”

In the much-discussed striker question, the 52-year-old doesn't hold back with criticism. He demanded consistent support for Robert Glatzel. “This would be a good opportunity,” Hamann says, “to tell someone like Glatzel: You have our trust until Christmas.” At the same time, he criticized the squad planning and mentioned a prominent name: “You can't bring in someone as injury-prone as (Yussuf) Poulsen as a promoted team; he's reaching the end of his productive capacity.”
