Due to clash with Adeyemi: HSV star misses Augsburg showdown! | OneFootball

HSV must do without a key player in the crucial home game against FC Augsburg (April 4).

This bitter realization stems from a scene that was more about emotions than sporting necessity. Midfield engine Nicolai Remberg received his tenth yellow card of the season during the dramatic 2-3 in Dortmund. Curiously, this happened after the first half had already ended.

The trigger was a verbal exchange and scuffle with Karim Adeyemi. After this HSV player pushed William Mikelbrencis following a previously whistled duel, Remberg intervened. “Adeyemi still went full in,” the 25-year-old later explained. For him, it was a matter of principle: “I think it’s not right to push from behind when the whistle has already blown.”

Remberg sees his intervention almost as a duty: “That’s why I went over. Unfortunately, no one else from our team went, so I always have to do it.” But this very intervention became his downfall. Referee Matthias Jöllenbeck showed both players a yellow card, which for Remberg means a suspension.

HSV: “We must lift ourselves up by…”

“It’s bitter because I didn’t approach it aggressively,” the midfielder lamented afterward. At the same time, he was realistic: “But eventually, it would have happened anyway.” Indeed, his suspension was almost foreseeable given the number of warnings. However, the timing is particularly unfortunate.

Because Remberg will be missing in the decisive duel against Augsburg. Against the Fuggerstadt team, who are one point ahead of HSV in ninth place, another and possibly decisive step towards staying in the league can be made in front of their own fans after the international break.

The Hanseatics want to turn the frustration built up in Dortmund into positive energy. “When you’re leading 2-0 here and then lose, it’s bitter,” Remberg said, but he also emphasized: “I’m still proud.” He gives his teammates a clear directive: “We must lift ourselves up by the fact that we led against a Champions League participant.”
