HSV camp too negative? Polzin with clear message to fans! | OneFootball

After weeks of disappointing results, HSV celebrated a major breakthrough in Frankfurt. It effectively secured their survival in the league.

With FC St. Pauli and VfL Wolfsburg both failing to win, the Rothosen were given the sweet certainty two weeks before the end of the season that they would also be playing in the top flight next year. Accordingly, the coaching team and staff celebrated exuberantly, having watched their rivals’ Sunday matches together with their families, according to the Hamburger Abendblatt.

“A huge weight has been lifted; it’s an incredible feeling,” Merlin Polzin said on Wednesday, when HSV came together again for the first time after two days off from training. In Frankfurt, the team and coaching staff had already celebrated a preliminary survival party together with the traveling supporters.

Polzin: “Something has grown incredibly close-knit at HSV”

It was plain to see how much the previous weeks had taken a toll on the players. After all, having at one point occupied a single-digit place in the table, the Hanseatic side found themselves looking downwards again after three straight defeats and just one win in ten matches. Before the clash in Frankfurt, HSV were in 15th place for the first time since Matchday 4.

As a result, critical voices around the Volkspark grew louder. For the first time in his nearly year-and-a-half tenure, doubts about Polzin were even voiced on a broader scale. But with a deserved away win against a team chasing European qualification, the club had the right answer ready and wrapped up its season objective with two matchdays to spare before the summer break.

“I’m incredibly happy and proud of everything the boys, the coaching team and the staff have achieved,” said Polzin, also directing an appeal to everyone around the club: “The doubts that arose, partly justified and partly unjustified, are not always borne out. We have to trust one another. Something has grown incredibly close-knit at HSV. There doesn’t need to be as much skepticism as we’ve seen in recent weeks.”
