HSV miss out on crucial derby points: "We're not exactly happy" | OneFootball

The 113th city derby between HSV and FC St. Pauli ended goalless. For the Rothosen, the 0-0 at Millerntor meant more frustration than success. The chance to distance the rival by eight points was missed.

HSV goalkeeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes reported mixed feelings in the Sky interview: “The performance was okay to good, very stable, a lot of control, and also with a few chances. In my opinion, we were clearly the better team,” he explained. “Unfortunately, we weren't decisive enough going forward in that final third. We know how many tough games we've already had away here. That's why the performance was good, but of course, we're not happy because we wanted the win today.”

Center-back Luka Vuskovic also expressed dissatisfaction: “I believe we deserved three points, the way we played. The whole team is a bit disappointed because we all felt we had them. But in the end, it's a point.”

Polzin clarifies: HSV “not satisfied at all”

Head coach Merlin Polzin assessed the guest performance at Millerntor similarly. “You play derbies to win, and we didn't achieve that. That's why we are not satisfied with the final result at all,” he clarified. They wanted to “give all HSV fans these three points” because they know that this match is “not a normal football game” for many fans.

Regarding his team's performance, Polzin said: “We had a lot of control, but we didn't really create scoring chances. And when we were there, you just have to play things out more clearly. Nevertheless, we have now kept a clean sheet in the second game in a row.” However, this also applies to their own offense, which they now want to continue working on.

At the press conference, the coach added: “It was, as expected, a tough game. In the second half, we then lost a bit of control. Overall, I am not satisfied with many small details. Still, we take the point with us.”
