The corona vortex around clippers Simon Terodde (32), the shoulder injury of top template provider Jeremy Dudziak (25) and the muscular problems of midfield motor David Kinsombi (25) – HSV started the game on Saturday with a fairly high mortgage the club replace three potential regular players.
However, Daniel Thioune’s team (46) did not notice this at all and was dominant and strong in duels from the start. On the offensive, the Hanseatic team became dangerous again and again and, defensively, allowed next to nothing.
“Today the game against the ball in particular went very well, so I have to give my team a big compliment,” said coach Thioune.
Defending collectively was the key to success.
“Compliments to the whole team, everyone was there today,” said veteran Aaron Hunt (34). The 34-year-old ex-Bremer initiated both goals from captain Tim Leibold (27) worth seeing.
Of the after his red card suspension Returned left-back ran this time in left midfield and rewarded himself with the double for a strong comeback.

Unlike in the first leg, when the Rothosen were also 2-0 ahead and lost the game 2: 3, in the second leg you never had the feeling that the Hanseatic team would not leave the field as winners.
At the latest when Heidenheim’s Florian Pick (25) hesitated too long just 60 seconds after Leibold’s goal to make it 2-0 and missed the huge chance of the connecting goal, the game was basically already decided. On that day, the home side seemed simply too superior and stable, the dangerous attack duo of the FCH, Christian Kühlwetter (24) and Tim Kleindienst (25), was completely registered.
“At no time did you have the feeling that we were giving up the game,” said Manuel Wintzheimer (22), who convinced with a committed performance and the assist to make it 2-0.
The season is now entering the decisive phase and HSV seems to have recovered just in time after its earnings crisis. The 2-0 victory at VfL Bochum last week was also equally impressive.
By winning again, they took over Hamburger now at least temporarily back at the top of the table and in this form have everything in their own hands!
