Polzin makes it clear: HSV’s winter schedule set! | OneFootball

In recent years, HSV usually traveled abroad for their winter training camp. However, the current plans look different.

Half of the first half of the season is completed, and the winter break is slowly but surely coming into focus. Hamburger SV has already developed its schedule for preparing for the second half of the season. Clear tendency: The Hanseatic team will stay at home. This is reported by the Hamburger Abendblatt. With this, the club is temporarily putting an end to the tradition of traveling abroad for a training camp during the cold season.

In the past, Bundesliga clubs like FC Bayern went to Doha, Borussia Dortmund or other teams went to Spain. HSV also regularly went to Turkey or Spain. Merlin Polzin even strongly advocated for a training camp abroad last winter break, after his predecessor Steffen Baumgart had rejected it. This season, however, the situation is different.

HSV plans "training camp" abroad

Background: The past winters in Hamburg were significantly milder than expected. Frost and ice were largely absent, allowing players to train on the club's own field without any issues. According to Polzin and previously Baumgart, this eliminates the need to move to warmer climates.

Nevertheless, HSV keeps an option open: If it unexpectedly becomes cold or icy, a short-term training camp in warmer regions could still become a topic. Currently, however, the plans indicate preparation at the Volkspark. For the fans, it would be welcome news to follow the preparation directly on site. From the players' perspective, the familiar environment also offers the advantage of training under accustomed conditions.
