HSV: Will the Bundesliga squad be set next week? | OneFootball

The HSV celebrated the season opening together with many fans on Saturday. Sports director Stefan Kuntz hinted at further transfers.

On August 24, the Hamburger SV will return to the Bundesliga with an away game at Borussia Mönchengladbach. The previous test games against similar opponents were all lost. Olympique Lyon showed the promoted team its weaknesses in front of over 45,000 spectators at the Volksparkstadion and won clearly with 4:0. While the offense struggled with finishing, Merlin Polzin's team made serious mistakes defensively.

This once again made it clear that some parts of the team urgently need reinforcement. Sports director Stefan Kuntz announced this during the Volkspark Festival held in front of the stadium: "I hope we can present two new signings relatively soon." According to the Mopo, this is supposed to be another central defender and a defensive player for the right side.

HSV: Polzin warns of a difficult season

In light of yesterday's performances by captain Sebastian Schonlau, right-back William Mikelbrencis, or new signing Jordan Torunarigha, who has been very wooden in the previous games, further transfers in defensive positions seem only logical. Kuntz added, looking at the two potential new signings: "Then there will be basic satisfaction." Means: With that, the squad for the Bundesliga season should be almost complete.

In the upcoming season, it will be all about staying in the league for the HSV. Coach Polzin is also aware of this, emphasizing in his speech to the fans: "There will be one or two challenges waiting for us. It's important to defend our colors in every phase of the season and go through moments together. Team and tribune, that's unbeatable together at HSV." In fact, the audience will play a particularly important role in home games and could secure one or two extra points.
