Performance tests, start of training and preparation in Spain: Hamburger SV is preparing for the second half of its Bundesliga promotion mission. Well-known test match opponents are waiting in Spain. But the Africa Cup of Nations will also play a role.
Hamburger SV has begun the second half of its mission to return to the Bundesliga. In order to prepare for the big goal, HSV will compete against well-known test match opponents in the upcoming winter training camp in Sotogrande, Spain. On Tuesday, the second division soccer team announced that the Hanseatic League will play against the Swiss first division club FC Zurich on January 11th (1:30 p.m.).
Four days earlier there is a test against PSV Eindhoven. In the round of 16 of the Champions League, the Dutch top club will face Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund in February.

The players start the football year with performance tests on Tuesday and Wednesday in the Volkspark, which from HSV’s point of view should best be crowned with a return to the football upper house in May. The trip to Spain is on Thursday. Coach Tim Walter’s team will prepare for the second half of the season there until January 12th.
The coming weeks will be a test for the coach. At the end of the first half of the season, the sporting leadership around sports director Jonas Boldt expressed their confidence in the coach after a mixed half of the season. However, various measures should take effect with the start of training. Everyday routines should be made “more performance-enhancing,” it said in a statement.

Above all, the constantly shaky defense and some weak away performances are cause for concern. The Hamburg team had seven wins in eight games at the Volksparkstadion, but only picked up ten points away from home. As a result, HSV slipped to third place in the table. After 17 match days, Hamburg are four points away from northern rival Holstein Kiel in first place.

On the offensive, Walter will have to be without his striker Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer for some time, who will play with the Ghana national team at the Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast. The 22-year-old striker was named in the final squad for the tournament from January 13th to February 11th on Monday and will therefore be missing from HSV at the start of the second half of the season in the 2nd Bundesliga. In addition to Königsdörffer, former Holstein-Kiel and Hannover 96 player Kingsley Schindler (Samsunspor/Turkey) is also part of the squad for four-time Africa Cup winners Ghana.
