"Big appeal": Why Remberg chose HSV over Werder | OneFootball

Despite prominent competitors, HSV has won the race for Nicolai Remberg. North rival Werder Bremen was also chasing the midfielder.

With Nicolai Remberg, Hamburger SV has secured the services of a coveted Bundesliga player at an early stage this summer. The 25-year-old moved to the Elbe from Holstein Kiel for 2.4 million euros. In doing so, he also rejected an offer from HSV rival Werder Bremen. Several media outlets had already consistently reported that the Green-Whites also had strong interest in the in-form six.

Now Remberg has spoken out about his decision for the first time. "HSV simply has a great appeal for me," he explained in an interview with Sport Bild. Even during his time in Kiel, the club was always a topic in the team. "We often talked about HSV in the dressing room. With the motto: to be able to play for the club one day, that would be something special."

Remberg remains calm despite test match defeats remains calm

When the concrete offer from Hamburg came at the end of May, he didn't hesitate for long. "Already in the few weeks since I've been in Hamburg, I can see what great importance the club has for the people," said Remberg. It seems that with his move to the Hanseatic city, he has not only scored a hit sportingly, but also emotionally, and this is already being confirmed early on.

Because despite poor test match results against renowned opponents like Copenhagen, Graz, Lyon or Freiburg, "Rambo" remains calm. "It's preparation. The games show us where we stand and where we need to improve. Everyone in the team can put it into perspective reasonably." Nevertheless, the sole and declared goal remains to stay in the league.
