Former FCSG Player Miro Muheim Needs a Miracle with HSV in Relegation Battle Against VfB Stuttgart

Tim Walter doesn’t even want to think about giving up. Of course, the starting position is “not ideal”, admitted the Hamburger SV coach in view of the almost hopeless situation before the second leg in the relegation against VfB Stuttgart.

But: “This is my family and I am convinced of my family.” So convinced that the dream of the end of five seemingly eternal years in the 2nd division should not be buried yet.

But currently it seems as if HSV, the club of former St.Gallen full-back Miro Muheim for two years, will also have to spend a sixth year in the lower house.

It seems everything speaks against HSV

Because even if they warned the opponent in Stuttgart, before the relegation second leg on Monday, everything seems to speak against the third in the 2nd Bundesliga: the heavy burden, the all too clear class difference in the first leg, the bad quota of the clubs from the second highest league in relegation.

It is not for nothing that the word “miracle” was used in a highly inflationary manner at HSV after the deserved 0: 3 in Stuttgart last Thursday. Walter also conjured up a “football miracle” on Sunday. After all, no team has ever turned 0:3 in the relegation game. But if that should succeed, according to Walter, then in the “wonderful” Volkspark – with their own fans behind them.

Nevertheless, some will ask why Hamburger SV, who have often seemed so unhappy at crucial moments in recent years, should make the almost impossible possible.

“We’ve already suffered a few setbacks”

“We’ll try to work our way forward bit by bit,” Walter revealed at least parts of his match plan. Rather, he places value in the “comeback qualities” of his team.

“The boys have already suffered a few setbacks and have always stood up,” said the 41-year-old. Also on Monday they will “fight to the end”. And they will have to show that they have coped well with the recent setback. (sid)
