HSV left deflated after FCA defeat: “We can’t be satisfied” | OneFootball

After an overall disappointing performance, HSV lost the basement duel against FC Augsburg 0:1. The leading players voiced critical opinions after the final whistle.

Hamburger SV had to endure a significant setback in their fight to stay in the league during the crucial away game against FC Augsburg. The 0:1 defeat was not only painful but also sobering in its manner. There was consensus on this among the Rothosen camp after the final whistle. The team led by Merlin Polzin appeared too passive, too imprecise, and overall too harmless for large stretches of the match. Particularly in the first half, FCA set the tone and created the clearer chances.

"The team's performance was not as we had imagined. We were too passive in the first half," criticized Daniel Heuer Fernandes in the Sky interview. Previously, the goalkeeper had kept HSV in the game with several saves. However, he was ultimately powerless against the conceded goal. "We were too open and didn't defend the depth well enough," said Heuer Fernandes. His clear conclusion: "Overall, it was not enough. We cannot be satisfied today. We lacked the aggressiveness and hunger to win the game."

Bitter HSV Conclusion: "A point would not have been deserved"

His impression aligns with that of his teammate Nicolai Remberg. The midfielder also found clear words on Sky: "We were not intense enough and didn't get into the game in the first minutes. Augsburg already had two or three chances." Although they intended to present themselves differently in the second half, Remberg admits: "Overall, a point today would not have been deserved."

As a result, HSV slips to 14th place in the standings and is still waiting for their first away win of the season. "At home, we are very strong, but we also need to score points away," Remberg demanded emphatically.

From a Hanseatic perspective, it's encouraging that the next three matches against VfB Stuttgart (30.11), Holstein Kiel (3.12), and Werder Bremen (7.12) will all take place at the Volksparkstadion.
