Role model Remberg: HSV legend calls for “players with character” | OneFootball

Horst Hrubesch looks back with pride on HSV’s first Bundesliga season in seven years. At the same time, he is directing a clear appeal to those in charge.

The club legend is convinced that the path the team has taken can only remain successful if the club also signs “more players with character, such as Nicolai Remberg.” “For me, he is HSV’s player of the season,” Hrubesch made clear in comments to Bild. In recent months, the central midfielder embodied exactly the mentality the European champion wants to see.

But despite all the euphoria after securing survival, the former center-forward urged caution. “The coming season will be brutally tough for Hamburg,” Hrubesch warned. Preparations for the new campaign must already begin now. The 75-year-old deliberately keeps his target modest: “I’d already be happy if my club could get around 35 or 36 points again next season and finish at least 15th.” At present, the Rothosen are in 11th place with 37 points.

Hrubesch sings the praises of HSV’s coaching staff

Hrubesch is particularly impressed by the coaching staff around Merlin Polzin. “I have to pay Merlin, Loic, Richi and the others a huge compliment. They turned a bunch of individuals into a really good team,” said Hrubesch. “They followed their path together and, despite difficult stretches, injuries and red cards, never lost faith and never lost sight of their goal for the season.”

Nur die Raute – by HSV fans for HSV fans

Above all, the HSV icon is impressed by the mix of almost obsessive attention to detail and human leadership. The “absolute honesty” with which the coaches dealt with the players was a key factor in their success. In addition, Polzin and his team “were especially convincing in their tactical preparation for matches” and managed to “inspire everyone at the club.”
