Hamburg. Tim Walter was in a good mood when he entered the podium in the press room on the first floor of the Volksparkstadion. “There’s nothing going on here,” joked the coach HSV during a cursory scan of the media representatives present. Knowing that it is at this press conference before the 1st round of the cup against third division promoted SpVgg Bayreuth (Sat., 3.30 p.m. / Sky and in the Abendblatt live ticker) should not only be about sporting topics.

After a few warm-up questions about the personnel situation – Stephan Ambrosius, Bakery Jatta, Xavier Amaechi, Elijah Krahn and Anssi Suhonen are out, the indestructible Mario Vuskovic, on the other hand, plays with a thumb splint (“He’s no longer in pain”) – and the opponent ( “You have to treat every opponent as if they were the strongest, and that’s how we approach this game.”

HSV dispute between Walter and Wüstefeld

After the “Bild” reported on a new dispute between Walter and HSV CFO Thomas Wüstefeld, which is said to have been about the players’ taxed share for family tickets, the Abendblatt wanted to know if Walter felt the problem , which primarily exists within the HSV board between Wüstefeld and Jonas Boldt, has to be kept away from the team.

“I’m the coach of this club,” Walter began his 73-second, rather detailed answer, in which he first presented his job description. “As a coach, my job is to train my team.” So far, so good. With his words, Walter wants to signal that he is the wrong contact person for the serious cracks at board level.

But in the meantime, the widely publicized disputes, at the latest with the court case surrounding sports director Michael Mutzel, who successfully sued for his continued employment after his release, have also ended up with the team. Of course, Walter noticed that too, which is why he didn’t just limit himself to the definition of his profession. The coach took the opportunity to advertise the sporting department around the coaching team and his confidante Boldt.

“We played very well last season to create euphoria for the club in the city. That was a credit to the sport and a credit to my team. That’s why we sold 23,000 season tickets for this season,” Walter continued, repeating: “That’s a credit to sport.”
