HSV receives Hertha BSC: Challenge for Baumgart and his team
Season start with challenges
Next Saturday, Hamburger SV will play its first home game of the new season against Hertha BSC. Despite the family ambient and support of the fans, the team is faced with some challenges. The absence of the goalkeeper Matho Raab due to pneumonia and the long injured striker Robert Glatzel will be noticeable. In addition, coach Steffen Baumgart will be forced to do without other players for reasons of performance.
crucial for the team spirit
The decision as to who will be in the squad often ensures nervousness and abdominal pain for every trainer. Baumgart confirmed this at the press conference and explained: "No coach likes to do that. But it is part of my job." He bears this responsibility with conscientiousness to ensure that the team is optimally adjusted to the opponent and delivers the best possible performance.
Baumbarts strategy
In the last game against 1. FC Köln, Baumgart put on unconventional means and put Ransford Königsdörffer in the storm center, which turned out to be the spotlight. Königsdörffer scored two goals in the 2-1 win. Baumgart explained his motif behind this decision with the maxim "Never Change a Winning Team". Therefore, it could be that not much will change at the starting eleven, although Davies Selke, who after a foot injury on the way of improvement, might intervene.
Personnel situation remains tense
In addition to the situation of Raab and Glatzel, the injury situation remains at the HSV precar. New signing Silvan Hefti will sit on the bench, but as a newly obliged player, he must first be integrated. Baumgart said positively and emphasized that he was happy with the squad overall. However, it remains to be seen whether the HSV will look for further reinforcements on the transfer market.
The anticipation for the home game
The home game against the Hertha will prepare great anticipation for the fans of HSV, especially after the successful start into the season. An exciting encounter is to be expected, which not only deals with points in the 2nd league, but also about the team spirit and the ability to master challenges. The support of the fans will be crucial for Hamburg to strengthen the morale and cohesion of the team.
