HSV hero shines in midfield: Vieira “can play anywhere” | OneFootball

After his top performance against Heidenheim, Fabio Vieira was the man in demand and celebrated. But the HSV newcomer remained humble.

Hamburger SV finally has reason to celebrate again! The 2-1 win against FC Heidenheim marked their first Bundesliga victory in almost seven and a half years. One player stood out in particular: loanee Fabio Vieira. In his first home game at the Volksparkstadion, the Portuguese delighted the fans.

On the pitch, the 25-year-old was the pivotal figure. From central midfield, Vieira distributed the ball intelligently, constantly demanded possession, and made decisive contributions in the attacking third. Especially notable: his assist for Rayan Philippe’s 2-0 in the 59th minute, which put HSV firmly on the road to victory. “We were looking for this win to get our confidence back,” Vieira explained after the final whistle, giving special praise: “This was also for the fans. Their support was fantastic.”

Vieira makes it clear: “I can play anywhere”

The playmaker gave his all on the pitch until he was substituted in the 79th minute. After some tough challenges, he had to receive treatment on his foot, but he pushed through. Vieira was also visibly focused on internal team communication. “I try to give my teammates solutions. They give that back to me,” said the Arsenal loanee, who was deployed in the center for the first time by coach Merlin Polzin. Against FC Bayern, he had played on the right wing.

“I can play anywhere,” Vieira said later. “Wherever the coach puts me, that’s where I’ll play. The important thing is that I help the team.”

And that’s exactly what he did: with his performance, he secured three immensely important points for HSV. At the same time, he was named to the kicker Team of the Week for the 4th Bundesliga matchday.

Nevertheless, the left-footer remains humble: “Now we’ll enjoy this win. After that, we’ll focus on the next game. We have to keep improving.”
