The hamburger SV missed the successful end of the year at 2021. A 1-1 draw against Schalke also marks the ninth draw of the season – will point losses jeopardize the season’s motivating goal?
Disappointment at the missed victory after the final whistle was written on the faces of the HSV players. Professionals went slowly and with bowed heads to coach Tim Walter, who called his team together for the final address in 2021. The Hamburgers took a 1-0 lead in the 85th minute, throwing themselves off each ball. The end did not win because Schalke perfected the 1-1 final score in the 13th corner. Again HSV did not win – again a balance.
Draw the series as a minus in HSV
“The basic thing is, we scored 1: 1. Schalke demanded everything from us. We struggled and put everything into it, but we had no choice but to play for zero,” Jonas Mayford was disappointed. So the HSV propensity character is stuck in the table. One reason for this is that more points have been split this season. Striker Robert Gladsel said, “We would have lost a couple of games and won, but we would have qualified more with each draw.” Midfielder Moritz Hayer also sees a big flaw in this. Because considering the tight schedule situation, wins only help to shake up live competitors.

A look at the statistics: Hamburger SV is in all three professional leagues in Germany and is leading when it comes to the draw. Only third division club FSV Zwickau have more than their credit: the Saxons have had to share points eleven times – more than the Hamburg team in two games this season. Nevertheless, HSV believes they are on the right track. “If we can improve some points, we will win too,” said Glatzel’s simple analysis.
Hamburg Football Castle
The tenure of HSV officers is clear: balance is better than failure. The fact that there was not even one in local Vauxhall was accurate for the whole half year. Unique in German professional football – not only did Keez’s neighboring team FC Saint-Pauly beat at home. For the first HSV home game of the new year, of all people, the fall champions will be coming to the city derby in Vauxhall. Then players and coaches like to keep all three points in HSV hands for reasons of honor.
