HSV starts promising: four points and an unexpected striker

Von Kl Redaktion

Hamburger SV laid a solid corner in the first two games of the new season of the 2nd Bundesliga. The team of coach Steffen Baumgart shows promising approaches with four points from two encounters, including an away win against 1. FC Köln and a draw against Hertha BSC. In particular, the performance of Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer, who surprisingly has become key player, could be of central importance for Hamburg.

The surprising hero of the HSV: Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer

Königsdörffer has already scored three goals so far, which makes him the team's top scorer. This performance is all the more remarkable because it was not considered the main player before the start of the season. Due to injuries to the regular strikers Robert Glatzel and Davie Selke, the question arose who would take over the team's offensive strength. The 22-year-old impressively demonstrated with his Hoke mode against 1. FC Köln and another header against Hertha BSC that he is ready to take on this role.

A look at the previous games

In the first home game, the red pants competed optimistically against Hertha BSC after they had been victorious in Cologne. Königsdörffer put the team in the lead and the fans hoped for another victory. However, the Hamburgers left some chances unused, which ultimately led to a late compensation of the Berliners by Jonjoe Kenny in the 86th minute. Coach Baumgart complained about the missed opportunities after the game: "We should have been added. So of course you let the opponent in the game."

The trust of the trainer and the development of the player

Königsdörffer himself expressed himself optimistically after the game: "I appreciate the trust that the coach brings me towards me very much and would like to repay it with my performance." These words reflect a certain self -confidence that enables him to establish itself in a central position of the attack. His style of play shows that he continues to develop, which also has to do with his increasing experience.

The big picture: the importance of the start of the season

The start of the new season is of great importance for Hamburger SV. With a positive impulse in the first games, the team can build on it to make the rest of the season more successful. "We saw two very good teams who wanted to win the game," said Baumgart, which underlines the competitiveness of the league. The services of the HSV in the first two games show that they are ready to play seriously in the 2nd Bundesliga.

conclusion and outlook

Although the draw against Hertha BSC was a herber setback, the overall impression remains positive. The HSV has the opportunity to learn from this experience and develop further. With the surprising increase in form by Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer, the Hamburgers look hopefully into the future. The fear opponent for the next games remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the red pants are willing to continue the season with the vigor of a promoted man.
