Expert urges HSV fans: Booing won’t help the team | OneFootball

As a Bundesliga newcomer, HSV has bid farewell to Torsten Mattuschka's area of responsibility. Nevertheless, the TV expert still follows the Red Shorts closely.

The upcoming duel between Union Berlin and Hamburger SV (28.09. 19.30 hrs) offers plenty of talking points despite the prevented reunion with Steffen Baumgart.

Thus, Torsten Mattuschka, a prominent face of the second league broadcasts on Sky, has developed over the past years into a constant companion of the Hanseatics, who needed a long seven years to return to the Bundesliga. Mattuschka himself is clearly a Unioner at heart. Between 2005 and 2014, he played for the Iron Ones, after which he opened a fan pub in Köpenick.

So it's no surprise that the 44-year-old will watch the match "with a sausage and a little beer." "It's a 50:50 game," Mattuschka is quoted by Bild .

Mattuschka: HSV still "a big deal"

In general, the former midfielder trusts HSV much more than many other observers. If coach Merlin Polzin is allowed to work with the necessary calm, something positive could develop in the Volkspark.

Mattuschka bases this forecast, among other things, on the deadline day newcomers brought in from FC Arsenal. Fabio Vieira already demonstrated his full class against 1. FC Heidenheim and Albert Sambi Lokonga is pushing to join the team after recovering from an injury. "Tusche" is thrilled by these transfers. "Wow! Not everyone can do that. This just shows what a big deal this club still is."

The TV analyst, however, places even greater hope in the North German fans. "The support of the Hamburgers is outstanding. There will also be difficult phases when you maybe don't win six, seven games in a row. Whistling concerts won't help," finds Mattuschka and appeals to the club environment: "Only with great cohesion can you manage the difficult task of staying in the league. Because the Bundesliga is a tough nut to crack."
