Mixed weekend for HSV’s comeback kid Røssing-Lelesiit! | OneFootball

Behind Alexander Røssing-Lelesiit lies a mixed starting eleven debut for HSV. The physical style of FK Pirmasens clearly took its toll on the youngster.

With a view to Jean-Luc Dompé's injury, Alexander Røssing-Lelesiit currently has a great opportunity: in the absence of the best individualist in the squad, the 18-year-old can advertise himself. In the previous second half of the season, this opportunity had only rarely arisen. The winter newcomer only played nine minutes in the second league.

During the summer preparation, Røssing-Lelesiit then took a noticeable step forward. The youngster worked hard in the weight room and was one of the few players in the test matches who could set positive accents. The reward: when it was clear that Dompé would miss the DFB Cup match against FK Pirmasens, it quickly became apparent that the Norwegian would instead be used on the left wing.

The duel at the Palatinate Oberliga club, however, became a harsh reality check for Røssing-Lelesiit, as it did for the entire team. Right-back Manuel Grünnagel worked the teenager hard and didn't shy away from a total of four fouls. Nevertheless, the Hamburg player showed stamina and didn't avoid any tackles.

However, it was still evident that the left winger sometimes lacks the necessary robustness for men's football. After only 45 minutes, in which he didn't successfully complete any of his three dribblings, Røssing-Lelesiit had to make way for Otto Stange.

HSV: Røssing-Lelesiit before starting eleven assignment in Gladbach?

Less than 24 hours later, the U19 national player was allowed to start again in the spontaneous test against Regionalliga club SC Weiche Flensburg 08. Since the game took place behind closed doors, little can be said about his performance. Positive: Røssing-Lelesiit scored after a corner kick to take a temporary 2-0 lead.

With this, the speedster collected important self-confidence for the upcoming Bundesliga start against Borussia Mönchengladbach (August 24th). Because Dompé will likely only be used as a joker against the foal elf, the perhaps greatest jewel of HSV might get another chance in the starting eleven 📈.
