The HSV is back in the Bundesliga – the little miracle from the Elbe
Boy, boy, but that was also time! The HSV is finally back in the Bundesliga. Even if it sounds absurd, but this climb is a little miracle.
That I can still experience this day! The Hamburg sports club actually did it. After seven painful years in the lower house, the ex-dino is finally back in the Bundesliga. Gone the time of the malice. Past all the years of shaking the head over an association that is so great that he breaks his dreary presence under his golden past.
50,000 fans in the stadium every other weekend. The biggest budget, most expensive squad … If you only look at the bare numbers, it must be incomprehensible for you that the HSV took so long to finally get up again. And that has been the problem in recent years. The neighbor from St. Pauli seemed to have made it into the first division effortlessly. Kiel, Darmstadt or Bochum also rose. And the HSV?
The Hamburgers suffered from HSV’s disease for seven years
The first half of the season could have been so good, just in time, when the temperatures became double -digit again in spring, defeat was defeated. The formerly proud first division dino tore in with the tail what he had built up for months. Consequence: 4th place again frustration, disappointment again, shaking your head again. For a new year. HSV’s disease.
The Hamburgers suffered from the curse of the big name. The HSV actually belongs to the first division, since everyone agreed. The small city rival St. Pauli or the provincial club Heidenheim had better cards. Although they were on significantly less budget, they had something that was missing from the HSV all the years: their season, their climb was able to tell a story, even if it was a trange: the underdog becomes a climber. Big novel drama, but for teams and their surroundings, there is enough to grow beyond themselves.
The little miracle from the Elbe
And the proud HSV? Standed against it and tried to explain. Actually, we should, actually we would have, why didn’t it work again?
The climb was the goal for the red pants every season. Understandable. But what made up there was also the danger: they were damn to ascend, it was not freestyle, it was mandatory. Everything behind third place. And like a self -fulfilling prophecy, things went wrong every year. And so it could have gone wrong for seven more years.
But this time it worked. And even if everything spoke and speaks for it, you actually have to say: It’s a little miracle. Then a cold holsten!
