Hamburg city derby: a lesson for the once big HSV

Merlin Polzin can scream. Through the very long rise of the Hamburg sports club you experience a young trainer who can get out of the socket so much that the cabin walls wobble – or better: starting to hobble.

But against what that HSV In his first Bundesliga home game for more than seven years, Polzin’s voice was powerless: with the kick-off of the game, a roar rose from the ranks of the Volksparkstadion, in which his calls went down from the edge of the field, like a raindrop disappearing in a waterfall.

About 90 minutes later you could have heard Polzin better again: the football Balance In the Hanseatic city, it was cleared to the disadvantage of the HSV. The Volksparkstadion audience, which had come with such great expectations, took note of this fact in silence. It became too clear that jurisdiction alone is not enough to survive in a first division game. If harmlessness and carelessness come, the early intoxication ends in disillusionment. 0: 2, so the result.

The football day started on the streets of Hamburg: In large blocks, the fans of both teams, separately from each other, pulled the HSV supporters on foot, the Paulians on the bike, which is always a good decision in Hamburg’s traffic conditions. Especially when the police forces keep the street free of bad -tempered drivers.

There were no noteworthy clashes, the groups were on the move as separately as they should be in the stadium later. There, the visitors of the north grandstand unrolled a huge transparent with the words “together against everyone” before the start of the game, and the picture developed two lions that guard the Hamburg coat of arms. Löwen in Hamburg? Are they off Munich run out? Later in the game, the guest curve replied with an apparently quickly painted lettering: “Together against everyone? Alone In the trap! “

The first few minutes shaped the event: there was no scanning, there was a change, reorganized, Kickboxing. The Paulians welcomed the HSV players to Kiez-Art, as if they wanted to show him: This is the first division here, Digga.

The HSV, on the other hand, wanted to show early that it could keep up in a playful way, the players achieved what is called stations in training in the first few minutes: the ball is steadily rolling from player to players and everyone moves. It became a first division game that too St. Pauli wanted to play and not prevent. So football can look when two coaches have come up with some constructive things for the so -called schedule.

With a corner trick that the HSV trainer should not have expected, St. Pauli takes the lead in the 19th minute. A briefly played ball, Mathias Pereira’s situation picks him up and plays him sharply into the penalty area, where HSV player Mirko Muheim doesn’t get it, the Pauli player Adam Twiga But all the better. 0: 1.

Also recommended to imitate in lower play classes: short, strong, in it.

From then on, St. Pauli puts the HSV whenever possible: the guests attack early, the home side feel constantly stepped on their feet. They had imagined it differently. The effect for St. Pauli: If an opponent does not withstand the stress when he slips away or kinks away, the way to the goal will be free, and soon it will be Danel Sinani almost mother soul in front of the HSV goal, and yet the ball passes. What screams Polzin? You can’t hear him.

The station football will soon be over: many HSV players are bogged down in search of a teammate, then a St. Pauli player comes and grabs the ball in Seitenaus. End station football. St. Pauli himself has the ball once, gives the HSV a few lessons in running. Very uncomfortable.

The last walk of the first half takes the HSV into the cabin. Maybe a few ideas are hidden there.

And okay: The players bring an idea into the second half. If we have to walk, we will at least let our fastest run forward. Ransford Königsdörfer runs until the ball is in the goal, but what Malheur: he started out of the side. Millimeter decision, the specialist colleagues say in front of the monitors in the press reverse.

The 0: 2 in the 60th minute is then a stupidly clever goal. Stupid Giorgi Gosholeishvilithat it can be played so easily, stupidly from HSV goalkeeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes that he cannot decide whether to get out, cleverly from the Pauli attacker Andreas Hingondjithat it runs past Heuer-Fernandes until the angle appears almost obscene pointed, from which it starts the right goal post from the left. Inside.

Some HSV players seem to occur in the following minutes as in a nightmare in which one has to appear again for a graduation test, strangely without underpants. Gosholeishvili In the 77th minute, only helps to help through a tactical foul, sees yellow-red and can join the cabin walls.

The number one in Hamburg, according to the stand in late summer 2025, is the serious and economy district club, which no one should call underdog anymore. The street killers from the Reeperbahn simply have the lions from the Volkspark claded away. The better football will probably be played at the Millerntor in Hamburg this season. The HSV, on the other hand, starts again Zero to. His players will have to walk a lot until it runs.
