As a promoted team, HSV is naturally only concerned with staying in the league. New signing Nicolai Remberg wants to collect the necessary points, especially at home.
In June, Nicolai Remberg signed as the first summer newcomer to Hamburger SV. The defensive midfielder came from Holstein Kiel for just over two million euros. After the 25-year-old descended from the Bundesliga with the Storks, he wants to celebrate staying in the league as a Rothose.
“That's our goal. And I'm absolutely convinced of our quality,” says Remberg in an interview with Sport Bild. Above all, the native Westphalian has high hopes for the home games: “The Volksparkstadion will give us an extra push. It can become a cauldron.”
A glimmer of hope: In the past second division season, HSV lost only two games in front of their own fans and thus finished second in the home table.
However, it is also clear that the Hanseatic League will approach many encounters completely differently than in the last season. While the former Dino was almost always considered the favored team at home and had large shares of the game, coach Merlin Polzin wants to achieve success in the Bundesliga by working more against the ball. Compared to the past second division years, a radical change in the direction of play must be expected in the Volkspark.
Remberg knows from his own experience how crucial team spirit is when you often find yourself in the role of the outsider. “It will be important that the team holds together as a group and listens to the coach's plan,” says “Rambo”.
The sweeper, who was explicitly signed because of his fighting spirit and physical playing style, wants to contribute to the fact that HSV remains first-class beyond the season with the support of the fans.
