Warning issued by Schweinsteiger to HSV: Potential risks highlighted

In the latest episode of the HSV Podcast, the focus is on the relegation battle in the Bundesliga. The new coach of HSV, Tobias Schweinsteiger, sees the team as a clear relegation candidate.

The mood at the Volkspark isn't exactly euphoric, even as the season approaches. A disappointing preseason and a narrow cup win against Oberligist Pirmasens have left fans and players alike with a sense of unease.

Schweinsteiger warns against too many changes after a promotion, emphasizing the importance of taking the euphoria of the promotion with you. He compares the current situation at HSV to his time at VfL Osnabrück, where he led the team to promotion to the second division in his first head coaching role. However, after many changes in the squad, the mood in the team was difficult. After 13 games and just one win, Schweinsteiger had to leave VfL Osnabrück despite the promotion.

The podcast discussion also covers potential competitors for survival, including Werder Bremen, currently coached by Horst Steffen. FC St. Pauli's landing place is also a topic, as is Heidenheim's good chances of staying up in the Bundesliga.

Schweinsteiger knows the challenges after a promotion and the need for adjustments in the Bundesliga. He warns that HSV could be a relegation candidate, but also points to the potential for improvement. The podcast episode does not provide any new information about the team's preparations or strategies for the upcoming season.

Two years later, Schweinsteiger reflects on the current situation at HSV, comparing it to his time at VfL Osnabrück. He emphasizes the need for patience and hard work, and the importance of maintaining a positive attitude. Despite the challenges ahead, Schweinsteiger remains optimistic about HSV's chances for success in the Bundesliga.
