HSV star in the spotlight: dressing-room row after derby escalates! | OneFootball

HSV’s frustration over the derby defeat in Bremen did not spill out only on the pitch. After the final whistle, a locker-room scene involving Jordan Torunarigha took center stage.

Hamburger Abendblatt described the incident like this: While Werder celebrated the derby win together with the fans, things really heated up behind the scenes. According to the report, Torunarigha stormed out of the HSV dressing room in a rage and could initially be calmed down by neither Alexander Rössing-Lelesiit nor Nicolai Remberg.

For several minutes, he waited for a Bremen player. Apparently, he wanted to settle a score. What exactly had happened, however, initially remained unclear. Werder sporting director Clemens Fritz put it this way: “When you see the kind of provocations that came from HSV during the match, then you also can’t complain.”

HSV teammate suspects: “It won’t have been proper”

Only gradually did the fog surrounding the trigger begin to clear. Teammate Remberg explained: “It was about the scene when Loïc (Favé) got sent off. Someone said something to Jordan.” He also could not say what words had been used. “Judging by how he reacted, it must have been something that wasn’t proper. He really didn’t like it at all,” Remberg said.

The 25-year-old eventually slipped into the role of de-escalator. “I have a good connection with Jordan and can calm him down in moments like that,” he later reported. After that, sporting director Claus Costa took over.

Coach Merlin Polzin, meanwhile, had not noticed the situation and for that reason did not want to give a clear assessment. “Since he is otherwise a rather calm character, you can imagine that it was something that did not please him much,” was all he said. Torunarigha himself has not yet commented on the incident.
