Pre-season standout Sahiti: "I know what I'm capable of" | OneFootball

The HSV had to suffer three consecutive defeats in the recent test matches. Emir Sahiti still drew attention to himself.

There was certainly a sense of disillusionment at Hamburger SV and many of its companions: In front of 45,757 spectators, the Volksparkstadion suffered a 0:4 defeat against a very composed Olympique Lyon, which particularly in the first part - the four-time 30-minute encounter - exploited the sometimes hair-raising mistakes in the defensive area coldly.

In the second section, the HSV had a chance advantage, but could no longer operate result cosmetics. However, Emir Sahiti was again one of the assets, who had already proven to be a stimulating element on the right wing in Graz (1:2) and especially in Copenhagen (0:1) and set significantly more accents than the new signing Rayan Philippe, who is still unfamiliar with the position.

HSV: Sahiti wants to "maintain cohesion"

If the season had started next weekend - as is the case in the 2nd Bundesliga - Sahiti would probably have been preferred to Philippe. The agile Kosovar, equipped with great joy of playing, expressed himself cautiously about his role after the game (via Abendblatt): "I give 100 percent in every unit and every game and know what I can do. In the end, however, I'm not the boss and the coach decides who plays."

The duel for the regular place with Philippe proves to be helpful for Sahiti personally: "Rayan is a good player and competition is good for everyone." In addition, the Frenchman is one of the seven new signings so far. Two more are expected to follow soon, according to sports director Stefan Kuntz. With this, the HSV is undergoing a major upheaval after promotion. Sahiti hopes to "maintain the cohesion and the family energy in the team". This is likely to be necessary to achieve the big goal of maintaining the class.
