Critics had already written off HSV.
But the club still has a chance of promotion to the Bundesliga.
HSV board member Boldt still hits the brakes.
Hamburg – The soccer north will have to wait.
Wait, tremble and hope.
All of that is the motto after the 32nd matchday in the second Bundesliga.
And the whole thing applies to Werder Bremen as well as HSV and FC St. Pauli, the two second division clubs from the Hanseatic City of Hamburg.
While Werder Bremen is third after 32 rounds and would currently meet the third from bottom in the Bundesliga in the relegation and FCSP is in fifth place, the team of HSV coach Tim Walter is fourth in the rankings (as of May 1, 2022). neatly with the hooves.
After the victories against Karlsruhe, Regensburg and most recently the 4-0 win against Ingolstadt, in which Sonny Kittel silenced HSV transfer rumors about him with a goal (for the time being), promotion euphoria broke out around the Volksparkstadion: Tim Walter and HSV can do that , which seemed impossible, still manage: the long-awaited return to the German football upper house after various failed attempts.
But Jonas Boldt of all people puts on the brakes.

HSV sports director Jonas Boldt uses the slide rule: "With two wins something can still happen"
What eventful, energetic and enjoyable weeks lie behind HSV, where sports director Michael Mutzel was always sure that "nothing would collapse".
On the green lawn, things have looked different at one time or another this season - and that wasn't all that long ago.
And in the opinion of the critics, among other things, also to Sonny Kittel - because the interim "slack" of the HSV midfielder hit the Walter team twice.
Apparently, however, the "assist king" of the second division is once again in top form.
A circumstance that should also make HSV sports director Jonas Boldt happy - but despite all the optimism, he becomes a warning.

"With two blessings," the sports director, who made a declaration of loyalty to HSV a few weeks ago, calculates on hsv.de the day after the win against Ingolstadt, "something can still go." Chief mathematician”, who has to live with HSV transfer rumors about striker Robert Glatzel, is not wrong.
But even Jonas Boldt is realistic enough to know that the club from Hamburg also depends on others.
Because if Schalke, Darmstadt and Bremen, like HSV, win twice, Tim Walter's kickers can stretch and stretch as they want - then the dream of promotion remains, which ex-HSV captain Gotoku Sakai also believes in, right but the relegation only a dream.

"The season is not over yet.
The most important thing is that the boys want.
They don't give up and fight back", Jonas Boldt reaches into the box with the usual motivational jargon and in terms of planning can be sure that Giorgi Chakvetdaze will no longer play at HSV next season.
But that's still in the future.
Even further away than the last two HSV games of the season against Hannover 96 and Hansa Rostock, where ex-HSV kicker Robin Meißner plays.
The fact that HSV is fighting back and not giving up “also has something to do with the idea of the game.
We deliberately wanted to have a basis that the boys are convinced of," says Boldt on the HSV homepage.

"You can't always hide behind the coach, you have to come out of yourself," demands board member Jonas Boldt, who supports the often criticized HSV coach Tim Walter by pointing out the successful game philosophy for the two remaining games of the season HSV.
"We've experienced several times how close things can get," says sports director Jonas Boldt before the final sprint on the home straight of the season, adding: "There are no guarantees given the craziness of the league."

Neither for making it work.
Still for the fact that the ascent fails again.
And so the football north - and with it the HSV - has to wait and see.
Wait, tremble and hope.
