After Vuskovic and Muheim: next HSV star called up for the World Cup! | OneFootball

Third World Cup call-up for an HSV player: Alongside Luka Vuskovic and Miro Muheim, the Rothosen will have another international at the upcoming tournament.

Because: Goalkeeper Sander Tangvik has also made his country’s World Cup squad. The 23-year-old was named in Norway’s roster for the tournament in the USA, Mexico, and Canada. The federation officially announced this on Thursday evening.

For Tangvik, this call-up caps a remarkable past six months. The keeper only moved from Rosenborg BK to Hamburg in the winter. Just a few months later, he could be playing on the biggest stage in world football. At the tournament in the USA, Canada, and Mexico, Norway—regarded as a dark horse—will face Iraq, Senegal, and France in the group stage.

Tangvik is still waiting for his senior international debut, but he already has plenty of experience at youth level. Since the U15s, the goalkeeper has gone through every Norwegian youth national team. He was first included in the senior national team squad last November, but did not make an appearance at the time.

Tangvik celebrated strong HSV debut

Particularly noteworthy: His World Cup nomination comes directly after a strong first appearance in the HSV shirt. In the 1:1 draw against Bayer Leverkusen on the final Bundesliga matchday, Tangvik impressed with several strong saves and also stopped a penalty. The new signing therefore put himself firmly in the spotlight with both HSV fans and national coach Stale Solbakken.

Head coach Merlin Polzin also praised his player after his fabulous debut: “From the very first training session, he showed that the investment in him had paid off. He not only made Ferro and the team better, but also improved himself. He got better day by day. It was only a matter of time before people beyond the training ground noticed that in German football.” Quite clearly, that message even made its way to Norway.
