"Could be a real boost": HSV documentary sparks excitement! | OneFootball

The cinema premiere of the highly anticipated documentary about the team's rise was extremely emotional for many HSV stars. With the Gladbach game in sight, they are hoping for a morale boost.

At the premiere of the new HSV documentary "Always Hamburg", the team's heroes were once again in the spotlight. Before the start of the Bundesliga season against Borussia Mönchengladbach (August 24), they collectively relived the most moving moments of the past season.

"What's important is that we recapture the energy that the promotion brought, because it can give us a lot of strength," explained Sports Director Stefan Kuntz on Wednesday evening. Coach Merlin Polzin was also impressed: "We're really looking forward to seeing the finished product, but of course, even more so to the Bundesliga, which is waiting for us."

The six-part series by director Tom Häussler, who accompanied the HSV for a year and a half, will also be available in the ZDF media library from Friday. On Thursday evening, it will also be shown in numerous cinemas. In addition to the thrilling promotion of the men's team, the success story of the HSV women's team will also be told, who will also be competing in the Bundesliga in the upcoming season.

HSV eager for Gladbach!

For the players, looking back on the dramatic and emotional moments was a special experience. Striker Robert Glatzel visibly enjoyed the premiere. "It's nice that we can watch it again in peace." Nevertheless, he is aware: "New, difficult tasks are ahead. This will be a very special challenge this year. We've been working towards it for years."

On Sunday, the first Bundesliga game in seven long years is scheduled, with an away game in Gladbach (5:30 PM/DAZN). After the hard-won DFB Cup victory against Oberliga team FK Pirmasens, the HSV knows that there is still a lot of work to be done. But Glatzel sees this as an opportunity: "It can be an advantage that Gladbach may not be able to assess us quite so well yet."
