Sky commentator Fuss raves about HSV fans: “Atmosphere is immense” | OneFootball

HSV can always rely on the support of its fans. Neutral reporters were impressed by that as well.

Sky commentator Wolff Fuss said enthusiastically on Monday evening on the talk show “Glanzparade”: “Hamburger SV home games are real experiences. The atmosphere is gigantic.” The 49-year-old was working at the home game against Hoffenheim (1:2) for the second time this season at the Volksparkstadion, as he is always assigned to the Bundesliga’s Saturday top match at 6:30 p.m.

Before that, he attended the home game against Bayern Munich, in which HSV earned a 2:2 draw after a remarkably brave performance. “In terms of atmosphere, that topped everything else that happened at the Volkspark this season,” said Fuss. He was also thoroughly impressed by the atmosphere last Saturday, while also drawing a comparison with the past: “I can remember times when even season-ticket holders would skip a home game against Hoffenheim.”

HSV: Fuss impressed by fans’ reaction to derby defeat

On Saturday, the Volksparkstadion was filled to the last seat, something that had previously happened only once in Hoffenheim’s ten visits so far. But Fuss was truly left raving because of something else: “You really have to let that sink in. They lose the derby. So, they lose in Bremen and then a week later, at home against Hoffenheim — and not only is it sold out. […] The stadium was full and then a choreo like that: red and white, the colors of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg. Brutal… brutal.”

The enormous support could not prevent a third straight defeat, but it has already paid off repeatedly over the course of the season. HSV picked up 21 of its 31 points at the Volksparkstadion, laying the foundation for avoiding being in really serious relegation danger so far. But after just one win from the last ten matches, the gap to the relegation playoff spot is now only five points.

The struggles of rivals St. Pauli and Wolfsburg prevented an even more tense situation ahead of the final three matches. That could ultimately play a decisive role in helping HSV, who still face Frankfurt, Freiburg, and Leverkusen in the run-in, stay up automatically — and allow Fuss to commentate again from the Volksparkstadion next season.
